hot summer of movies
Dear dear dear.. I've spent many an evening watching movies I've meant to see. Here's the latest batch that I've burned through: Alexander Nevsky . The haircut that endures time and space. An operatic track is used in The Simpsons episode G.I. (Annoyed Grunt) First Blood . Yup, that one, drawling Stallone and all. Why are small towns given such a bad rap? They Live . I think I got this one so that I could experience the source material for Duke Nukem. The bubblegum line was the best part. Gran Torino . I very much enjoyed Eastwood's laying down of slurs. The Hurt Locker . Excellent, one of the best of 2009. The ending's a bit long/forced, but doesn't detract much from the rest of the film. The Outsiders . I would've loved this as a teenager. I'd be a greaser, definitely. Up . Wonderful prelude. My eyes watered. Who Killed The Electric Car? I'd avoided this one but it's quite informative, if a little biased/heavy-hande...
