Date Night. First, I think that Tina Fey and Steve Carell are brilliant comedians, and I don't think I've seen anything that they are in that I didn't like. So, obviously I went into this movie with high expectations. And those expectations were met for about half of the movie. I thought a few scenes were useless and at the end nothing really happened. But it was funny.
Eat Pray Love. The whole time I felt like I was just watching Julia Roberts instead of her character. It was interesting to see the book portrayed on the screen, but they didn't do a great job of it. In fact I didn't really enjoy the movie at all.
Some Like it Hot. My first encounter with Marilyn Monroe; she was pretty crazy. It was actually pretty funny and goofy, and a little twisted at the same time. Recommended.
Outsourced. This was a small indie-comedy that was very predictable and silly; amusing but hardly great writing. Not really worth 2 hours of your time. Also, the new NBC sit-com with the same name is exactly like the movie: not worth 30 minutes of your time every week.
Eight Men Out. I thought this movie was pretty good, and so did Paul. He put it in while I was working on a puzzle, so I was confused at parts and didn't watch very intently, but I still managed to get the gist of it, and thought it was well done. It is about the "Black Sox" World Series scandal back in 1919.
Star Trek. YAY! I love Star Trek (the new one). It was the first film we ordered from Netflix and the first one that we ordered a second time. It is really great, and exciting! Watch it!
As for TV: SNL sketches, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Myth Busters, and Shark Week are all on Netflix instant queue and are fun to watch real fast while Paul comes home and we're eating lunch. Also, we were very excited to begin new seasons of The Office, Community, 30 Rock, and Modern Family this week, and are hoping that our place in Montgomery has cable so we don't have to watch them all on the internet days after they air.
