What Are You Watching?

Somewhat inspired by Michaelaw's post that went off topic a bit. What movies have you watched lately? Are you a cult fan or an aficionado of the arty movie? Horror? Syrupy romances? Did the Academy Award announcements make you apoplectic or did you nod knowingly in agreement?

Ok. Here is what I have recently watched and on Netflix.

Bubba Ho Tep 2002

This movie stars Bruce Campbell of cult movie fame (Army of Darkness and The Evil Dead) series. The premise of the movie is that having switched places with an impersonator some 20 plus years before Elvis is alive and living in an old folks home. It is played mostly straightish and sympathetically by Campbell who is known for his over the top performances in the Evil Dead movies. A rather well done B movie. It has as much to say about how the elderly are treated as the horror story that encompasses the plot.

I reccommend this movie for anyone with eclectic tastes, fans of Bruce Campbell and the "King" and anyone else looking for a different sort of movie experience.

Hmmm... movies... I'm a bit of a movie fan and I'm signed up for Netflix, Movie Network, and other numerous movie stations plus I have a fairly extensive DVD/Bluray collection.

I've seen Bubba Ho Tep and enjoyed it immensely so I'm not sure what that says about me

I watched Shutter Island last night and thought it was pretty good.
I'm more of a T.V series fan myself. (cant wait for the next season of Dexter! )

Watched 'Serving Sara' recently ... enjoyed that. But working so much lately it doesn't take much to amuse me .... although ... tried to watch 'Animal House' yesterday ... loved it when it came out ... got bored within 10 mins yesterday and turned it off! Man we accepted bad acting and crap story lines back then! Shoulda looked for 'Porkies' ... at least there's boob in Porkies!

You think that one is bad you should try to go back to the old Kung Fu TV series or Starsky and Hutch. OMG they are absolutely horrible. Our expectations have certainly been raised quite a bit over the years.

Firefly and Serenity, yet again.
