  • The last five DVDs you watched

    Maybe it's because I have access to free movie rentals through work that I haven't seen the inside of a movie theater in a long time. But most of my movie viewing happens at home. So ... what have you been watching from the comfort of you sofa/futon/floor/etc.?

    Lemme start things off ...
    • The Triplets of Bellville -- I don't remember which animation award it won -- Oscar or Cannes. A really interesting film, but not kid's fare, though.
    • Garden State -- You know you watch too much Law & Order when you can spot all the New York actors in this film. Zach Braff wears my hair better than I do.
    • Trembling Before G-d -- A documentary about gay Orthodox Jews. How does a person remain devoted to a religion that reviles them?
    • The Elegant Universe -- Actually, this is a NOVA documentary, but man is that string theory wacky!
    • 200 American -- A no-budget film I saw at a film festival about two years ago. A pretty good screenplay, but I wish it weren't shot on digital.

          We love Netflix. With three kids, it's our only infusion of cinematic anything outside of animated features. We fell off the wagon for several months when the latest baby came, but we're back to one or two weekly again. (You can see our 100+ movie queue online.) The latest discs:

          • Shrek 2 - Fun and overflowing with pop culture references. Probably enjoyed more by parents than kids.
          • Mean Girls - Not bad. Though I think the positive comparisons to "Heathers" are undeserved.
          • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Enjoyed it a lot. Keeps you thinking even after it's over. Just wish there were fewer subplots.
          If you include all DVDs watched, I'd have to add the Barbie "Princess & The Pauper" movie. Don't ask.

              Recently watched:
              • Collateral (Jamie Foxx, Tom Cruise) - I was surprised that I liked it. Not so much the plot, but the characters were engaging. Two extremes evolve toward the middle.
              • Spiderman 2 (Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst) - They say it was better than the first, but I'm not so sure. Though I barely remember the first. It was a popcorn flick trying to be serious drama. It felt funny.
              Ah, Netflix. Anyone else use the service?

                          I have a Blockbuster Movie Pass. My latest viewings:

                          King Arthur: Excellent action, medieval war drama movie. I liked the new take on the legend.

                          The Notebook: Sentimental movie that practiced some restraint with the melodrama. I loved every minute of this predictable, sappy romance.

                          The Simpsons: I'm not a fan, but the kids & husband love it. I pretend to watch it while secretly working on our tax return.

                          Vanity Fair: Better than the Masterpiece Theater version. Witherspoon was surprisingly convincing in the role of an English, high-society wannabe.

                          Cellular: Fast-paced, action-packed movie that entertains. The ability to suspend your disbelief is required, however.

                            This is one of the most underrated movies of 2004. I saw this at the theater when it came out last summer and am the proud owner of the DVD. Camelot this is not. It is way better!
                            I'm still here. Are you?

                              One of my favorite movies of all time and one that I quote often. I am a librarian and can relate to the scene where #5 is scanning Stephanie's bookshelves and says: 'Need more input! More input, Stephanie!'

                              The sequel was so lousy I can barely remember anything about it, though.
