This one’s coming at you a little late, but better than never, eh? May was another month that showed slackage on my part in watching movies. In a way, it’s a good thing, as it can be seen as showing that I have a life beyond movie love (not really true).
Star Trek (2009, dir. JJ Abrams)
Take the Lead (2006, dir. Liz Friedlander)
Be Cool (2005, dir. F. Gary Gray)
Son of Rambow (2007, dir. Garth Jennings)
Crazy Love (2007, dir. Dan Klores, Fisher Stevens)
Lymelife (2008, dir. Derick Martini)
The Babysitter’s Club (1995, dir. Melanie Mayron)
I shouldn’t even have admitted to the Babysitter’s Club. But. I was feeling nostalgic and it was on Netflix instant view. I did not enjoy it.
Crazy Love was also on the instant view. It’s a documentary and I’m guessing most effective if you have no idea about the story. I was shocked. And amused — in a disappointed, disgusted way.
Son of Rambow is delightful. Similar, in a very basic way, to Be Kind Rewind.
Star Trek is awesome! So much fun. I should have seen it more than once, I liked it so much. It’s not too late, of course, and I definitely plan to buy it when it hits DVD.
The rest were blah. Blah blah blah. Though I must admit I’m lying in the case of Take the Lead. I’m a sucker for an underdog story and it thoroughly won me over.
I promise to watch more movies in June. Additionally, I’m toying with the idea of setting a crazy challenge for myself next year. In 2010, I propose to watch and write about one movie every day. Which would also mean I’d start a movie exclusive blog for it. I’ll mull it over the next 6 months and see if it really is something I’m up for. Until next time, kids!
PS. I’m on Twitter now as well. Find me! My username is peeptart. Mention my blog and I’ll follow you.
