YES!! Finally!!
Swingers, Children of Men, Ghost World, Blood Diamond.
I usually get myself so amped to see a movie that someone tells me is “so me!” Then end up wondering why anyone would think I would like said movie. So hearing over and over again how “me” swingers is made me pretty skeptical from the beginning. It was generally obnoxious, and I loved every minute of it.
Children of Men was a crazy surprise. Never even heard of this movie but found it randomly on netflix tucked in a little cubby and ordered it. and very glad I did so. While it mimicked all the movies about the end of the world, for the most part, the content seemed very original. Beautifully filmed.
And while I do not like any prepubescent drama about the struggles of high school/college life, Ghost World had substance I could pull from. Good ending. but not really one of my favorites.
oh, and I watched We Were Soldiers for the first time. pretty graphic but in general one of the better movies I’ve seen. I’ve come to find out I really love war-related movies.
BLOOD DIAMOND. I loved this movie. I’d passed it in Blockbuster 58 times and thought it looked rediculous but little boys called baby killer carrying round AKs was crazy. somehow, everyone needs to watch this movie.
