Kathypath and I got the unlimited movie pass at MK2. We have thrown quite a party at the Parisian cinemas. In the last week we have seen:
Diarios de motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries) - everyone must up and see this movie, right now. I thought it was beautiful, inspiring, wonderful. I might go see it again in a week or two, actually. It was that good. I don't think there is any movie I have ever intentionally seen twice in the theaters. Really. Go see it. Go! Now!
Memoir d'un saccage - This is a documentary on the collapse of Argentina. While the beginning was fascinating, after about an hour of learning about privatizing the national petrol company, I wanted to leave the theater.
2046 - Everyone told me this was going to be a great, fabulous, wonderful film. But um... not so much. No. At first, sure, it was kinda interesting. But it dragged on for soooo long. I guess people thought it would be fabulous for the big names (directed by Wong Kar Wai and starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung of "In the Mood for Love" fame) but wow. Was I ever bored.
Dodgeball - What can I say? I laughed. And contrary to most of these dumball films, I actually felt it gained momentum towards the end instead of getting a little stale and old. But I think, deep down, I'm a sucker for Ben Stiller.
Uncovered - Nothing you didn't know about the Iraq war. I thought it was worth the time because I was able to match names to faces. I've been reading about a lot of people over the years without ever seeing them, so now I know Paul Wolfowitz (sp?) is not an attractive man.
Shark Tale - You know what? I sorta thought the pixar/rap mix was interesting. I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I laughed. I didn't like it as much as my all-time favorite (Monsters Inc - and side note: I have yet to see Shrek) but it was worth my time and money.
This weekend, we are off to see:
1. Genesis (can't find it on IMDB)
2. Wimbledon
3. Outfoxed
Who needs tv when you have unlimited movie passes?
