Underwater! (1955)
Well this month certainly looks different! I actually watched some movies from the last two decades!! Lol. You may have already guessed it, but I’m crushing on Mel Gibson right now. I also started watching Hot in Cleveland. Betty White is a hoot and I’m enjoying the show more than I ever expected. I also burst into tears unexpectedly at the opening of 2:1. It’s on YouTube. I keep starting “new” shows instead of finishing the ones I’m nearly through with... It’s always sad to end a good show. Anyway, here’s what I watched this month:

Least Favorite Film: Sorry Robert Ryan but Captain Nemo was a little hard to get through... Kim was a little boring too but I had put off watching it too long.
Favorite Movie: I really enjoyed Baby Boom. My aunt told me about it when I was describing the plot of Bachelor Mother to her. I also FINALLY watched Love in the Afternoon, which despite the subject I quite enjoyed. Audrey can be so heartbreaking.
You made it through Captain Nemo? I salute you.
ReplyDeleteYes, Kim isn't as exciting as it should be, but I do like Paul Lukas's performance.
My dad introduced me to No Way Out when I was a teenager. It's an odd sort of movie to be sentimental about!
Me too - Barbara - jacket - There's Always Tomorrow
Lukas felt the most authentic.
DeleteThe emotional connection we have with movies we grew up watching is amazing!
I just wanted to let you know that your monthly movie list inspired me to start my own monthly list of quick reviews. I'm so glad too, because I love going back to read my impressions of the movies I've seen.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am nominating you for the Sunshine Blogger Award at http://www.storyenthusiast.com/celebrating-the-sunshine-blogger-award/
because reading your blog always brings me so much pleasure.
Yay! I’ll have to check it out!
DeleteThanks for the nomination and compliment :) I look forward to answering your questions soon!
Mel Gibson is certainly lunchable! I really like Tim -- one of the instances where I like the movie better than the book.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I LOVE Monkey Business! One of the funniest movies I've seen.
Not having noticed that Brittaney also nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award, I nominated you for it too. Lol! Well, play if you want to ;-)
I wasn’t sure what I would think of Tim but I really liked it. I haven’t read the book.
DeleteI’ve been catching up on the early 30s Marx Brothers films! So ridiculously funny! “But look at me! I’ve worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty!” Lol
Haha thanks!! The questions look awesome! I will answer them soon :)
I need to watch Baby Boom.
