Movies

My friend Paul, in England suggested to me that I might list over the next ten weeks, my favorite movies.  So starting next week, I'll list them in order from number ten to my favorite one of all time.

So you'll recognise the post with this little sign.  In the meantime however, we have recently been to see a couple of films which were not bad at all, although they don't make the top ten list.

As usual, when we go to the cinema, we get quite a few trailers ahead of the feature and they can mostly be divided up into three types: a) films designed for ten-year olds and which are mostly cartoons, b) films designed for 19 year-old youths who have just discovered sex, and c) movies starring creatures covered in slime.

None of these categories appeal to us so our jaunts to the movie theater are fairly limited.  We did however go to see Woody Allen's latest, Midnight in Paris and although it was rather fanciful, it was an entertaining movie and if you happen to like Paris, it has a lot of great cinematography.

The second film we saw was last weekend.  It was The Debt, and starred Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson.  It was an adult film, but not in the pornographic sense.  The plot was clever and the action kept you glued to the screen, which is not that easy to say these days.  Next week, number ten on the list.
