Netflix: 9|11

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 19:49:53 -0400

I was truly astonished by this documentary. It has the only footage I have seen of the inside of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01. My wife absolutely refused to watch it, so I watched while she wasn't home. But I am so glad I saw it. It is...

Netflix: Grandma's Boy

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 22:04:18 -0400

A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, was talking this movie up like crazy. He said we'd love it, it was about video games and pot smoking - okay, he said this to our social circle in general, who is into that kind of thing, which we are ...

Pirates of the Caribbean 3

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Wed, 30 May 2007 16:30:35 -0400

We saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End the other day with my in-laws. I was honestly not impressed. Some of the special effects were great - my favorite was Davy Jones's tentacles turning into his beard - but some were really awful -...

Breasts: A Documentary

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Thu, 10 May 2007 13:26:05 -0400

This documentary was a lot better than I was expecting. I wanted it to be really good, but I was expecting it would be very lame. Instead, I was treated to a very good movie. The women featured in Breasts are of all different shapes and sizes,...

Netflix: Last King of Scotland

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 21:08:08 -0400

I had been wanting to see Last King of Scotland for a while, in fact ever since it was in theaters and I didn't get to see it then. We wanted to see it with some friends and we never got all our schedules together, so we just missed it completel...

Paris is Burning

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 10:13:11 -0400

My sister-in-law also subscribes to Netflix, and she gave me a DVD the other day. It was Paris is Burning - she said she had to watch it for a course she's taking, but it's about drag queens so she thought I might like it. It was great. For al...

Netflix: JFK

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 14:24:22 -0400

This is copied from my regular journal; it's not so much a review of the movie as it is writing down thoughts provoked by the movie. I watched JFK this past weekend because I've been reading about it for a long time, off and on. I think the reas...

Netflix: Open Water

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 18:00:09 -0400

This movie is the worst movie I remember having seen, ever. I fell asleep during Kill Bill: Volume I and Anastasia, but those were not as bad as Open Water. In fact, the previous "worst movie I've ever seen," which was Bring It On 3: All or Not...

Netflix: Ice Castles

nobody@vox.com(Meredith) — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 12:27:44 -0400

Okay, it is completely my fault that I watched this. The description was too good to pass up: Considered too old for a professional ice-skating career, 16-year-old Alexis (Lynn-Holly Johnson) nonetheless triumphs to become a champion. Tragical...
