Movies to see!
Hey everyone,
Hope your breaks aren't as dreadfully boring as mine (though I kind of hope they are...)! I've been doing almost nothing, although I did learn how to CONQUER in beer pong, so we should set up a table when we get back. Or, you know, not. Oh I also saw that girl Becca for like 2 hours and we had terrible pancakes at IHoP in Stamford and it was lovely.
Other than that, I've been watching movies. Soooo many movies. I though if you guys were bored it would help if I suggested some form this year that you guys should see. I've been trying to watch all the movies under some form of Oscar consideration, which required some illegal downloading (shh...don't tell). I can't bring myself to download or attempt to watch Australia or The Duchess--they look super boring, but I have two weeks left to stall, so we'll see.
Anyway, here's the list, in order of how good I thought they were. Some are in theaters (maybe not for Esra, Travis, or Eli), but some are still in very limited release or have come and gone through theaters.
1. The Reader
2. Milk
3. Frost/Nixon
4. The Wrestler
5. Frozen River
6. Rachel Getting Married
7. Revolutionary Road
8. Slumdog Millionaire
9. Doubt
10. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
11. Happy-Go-Lucky
12. Vicky Christina Barcelona
Writing those out, I noticed about 3 that weren't totally depressing, but they're all pretty good. Some other good ones (but not Oscar contenders) I've watched so far this break have been Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Hamlet 2, Baby Mama, and The Wackness.
Some movies I've seen that I don't really reccomend? Yes Man, Cadillac Records, Smart People, and Twilight. Blech.
I've seen some other movies too, but I really can't be expected to remember them all, especially because I've just named 20. Don't get greedy, now.
Anyway, I hope this somewhat satiates your boredom for now. I'll leave you with this:
Happy last 2 weeks! I'm hoping to come back the 17th. How about you guys?
