The Indiana Jones trilogy

I had an entire day of the 3 Indy movies last Saturday. It was a very good day. I loved all of them, but I have to admit I liked Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade better than Raiders of the Lost Ark. I'm not really sure why. All I know is, Harrison Ford was a LOOKER. Mrow. It saddens me that he's all grey now. Although I have a sneaking suspiscion he is still ripped. Yumm. Oh geez. Well, they were all awesome and funny and just plain cool. Good stuff.

Children of Men

I had heard a lot about this movie with all the Oscar buzz around it, and finally rented it. I'm telling you, Alfonso Cuaron could take the Bratz movie and turn it into a moving, beautiful film about teenage anorexic whores. No kidding. If he doesn't do the Deathly Hallows movie, heads will roll. Clive Owen was fantastic, as was pretty much everyone in the movie (although why was Julianna Moore billed as one of the stars? She was in the movie for about 5 minutes.) It was a scary, crazy look into the future that I hope to God never happens. I decided after this movie to have as many children as I possibly can. Just in case. The scene in the picture I have above is one of the most beautiful and moving moments I have ever seen in a film, ever. I love Alfonso Cuaron.

Mel Brooks' History of the World: Part I

I love all of Mel Brooks' films. I haven't yet seen The Producers, but Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights are all favorites of mine. History of the World definitely followed in the others' footsteps. Very funny. I could not stop laughing to the Spanish Inquisition sequence. I didn't know I could laugh at stuff like that! Does that make me an awful person? I sure hope not. It's a great movie if you're feeling down after having a bad day, week, month - whatever. As are all of Mel Brooks' movies.
