gonzai: (Checking In)
Managed to knock out 3 movies from my movie list, including the two longest ones - 'The Best Years Of Our Lives' and 'Ben-Hur'. The third was 'The Maltese Falcon'. None bad, none that knocked my socks off. Actually, 'Ben-Hur' would have been quite good if they had ended it after the chariot race. The last hour was dragging after it stopped being the story of Ben-Hur and turned into the story of Jesus. 'Best Years' was a bit too perfect - everyone is perfectly understanding and patient - but not bad. 'Falcon' - if these people were smart, the movie would have been 10 minutes long.

In any event, I hope I can knock out a dozen films this month.

After the pleasantness that was seeing the Ray-vens game end in a most positive fashion, I am now undoing my good mood in service of one of my 'resolutions'. I've already seen over 2/3rds of the films that have appeared on the AFI's Greatest Films list, so I'm going to try to watch them all. Turned out the one I least wanted to see was on this weekend on a channel I didn't know existed. And that channel exists only in HD. Thus it is recorded, in HD, and taking up way too much of the DVR, and must be watched as soon as possible for the DVR's sake. I'll stick with it as much as I can since it's 'great' and certainly a pop culture touchstone, but I doubt I'll get far.

The film? 'A Clockwork Orange'. Already pretty sick.
