Where the Wild Things Are

New Movies

Here are some movies that Patrick and I recently watched. We watched them over a month or so ago so they had some time to sink in. These are the new additions to the lists and movies that tried to get on but just didn't cut it.

Fiddler on the Roof
List: Musicals
Number: 6
The movie was added to this list because of the amazing performance by Topol. Another pushing factor was how thought provoking the story was.

Star Trek
List: Action
Number: Didn't make it

List: Sci-Fi
Number: 10
This was a tough one because being Star Trek you want to push it up there but it's a prequel. The story was already there they just added some details the characters were already there they just added some youth. It is a good movie and should be seen.
We also didn't think that Brazil was much of a Sci-Fi so that got bumped off pretty easily.

The Hangover
List: Comedy
Number: Didn't make it
It was up against Tommy Boy and just couldn't compete.

When Harry Met Sally
List: Romance
Number: 6
A great romantic movie with terrific actors. Meg Ryan is adorable and a must in a love movie. Billy Crystal is hilarious as always. These two work so well together and are great to watch.

The Bourne Identity
List: Action
Number: 7
An original plot with your classic chase and fight scenes with a little mystery added in there. It kept you on the edge of your seat.

Father of the Bride
List: Comedy
Number: Didn't make it
Tommy Boy strikes again. But we still love Steve Martin, don't worry.

Sabrina
List: Classics
Number: 4
This list ooriginally only had 3 on the list and fell in at the end behind It's a Wonderful Life.

List: Romance
Number: 7
It is a different kind of love story that you don't hear told often. Audrey Hepburn is the original Meg Ryan and with Humphrey Bogart it is a great match.

Casino Royal
List: Action
Number: Didn't make it.
It was a prequel that wasn't a prequel. It also didn't actually have that much action other than the chase scene in the beginning which was pretty sweet.

Batman: The Movie (original)
List: Comedy
Number: Didn't make it.
I don't think that this was actually suppsed to be as funny as it was. It was so bad it was hilarious - but that kind of comedy just won't cut it for us.

Jurassic Park
Current Position: #2 on Sci-Fi
What a fantastic movie. It stays where it should below Star Wars and above Planet of the Apes.

Old School
List: Comedy
Number: Didn't make it.
This is our hardest category to get into.

Funny People

Funny People
2009
Directed by: Judd Apatow
Starring: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen & Leslie Mann

The movie wasn't what I expected, but that's okay. Rogen was my favorite in the movie. It was more serious than his other roles and he was great. Somehow the movie got more serious and funnier as it went on - which was a long time. The movie was almost 3 hours long which got to be a little much. Speaking of little much - there was way too much swearing in it. I'm alright with swearing but it got to the point where I thought they were trying to fit 100 swear words into the movie. It was a pretty good film - but I would probably wait until it comes out on video to see it.

Roxanne

Roxanne
1987
Directed by:
Starring: Steve Martin & Daryl Hannah

Steve Martin always enjoyed the story of "Cyrano de Bergerac" and decided that he needed to make a movie and star in it. Its a good light-hearted romantic comedy. Martin is quite amusing in it and fun to watch. Just make sure you don't say anything about his nose! A good movie if you love Steve Martin.
