My Three-Day Movie Fest (originally written 8/13/2012)

I had some free time and so I watched movies nearly non-stop for three days. I attempted to have a real mixed bag of movies, so that the tones and genres would vary throughout the three days. Here’s what I saw:

1.       Zombieland (Quite entertaining, Jesse Eisenberg a plus)

2.       Lions for Lambs (Interesting ideas, but poorly executed. Andrew Garfield a plus.)

3.       Eye of the Beholder (Crap.)

4.       The Other Boleyn Girl (That Tudor drama! More exciting than history.)

5.       My Sister’s Keeper (Nice, but it’s basically a Hallmark Channel movie.)

6.       Speed Racer (Weak story, but ooh shiny.)

7.       Frida (It’s good if you’re a fan of Frida Kahlo to start with.)

8.       Citizen Kane (I thought this was a snooze. Maybe I’m too young to understand.)

9.       Kung Fu Panda (Well done, Jack Black.)

      An Education (Story’s all right, but Carey Mulligan is the real heart of this movie.)

11.   Star Wars: The Clone Wars (It was like a dead Fall leaf.)

12.   The Notebook (The ending made me laugh instead of cry.)

13.   The Shawshank Redemption (SUPER AWESOME)
