It's been a tad hectic. So for that reason and because I don't have an eve free for a long while, I'm temporarily taking myself out of the club. <br /><br />Please carry on the torch and let the next in line name their pick (I think that would Jon). I'll come back to the fold, but probably not until August or September. <br /><br />Be well my little raisinets.<br /><br />Emmaemjarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18154766962017462130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383798.post-1112755373584150702005-04-05T19:37:00.000-07:002005-04-05T19:42:53.586-07:00Today was brought to you by the letter 'M'Some of you may already know this...but The Shins will be playing here soon.

Saw Mystic River a few weeks ago, caught In America last weekend or so, and Monster is coming via Netflix. Mystic River was flawed, but still an interesting watch. I thought that In America would bore the hell out of me, but it was much better than expected. My eyes actually watered up a bit. Granted I was a bit boozed up, tired, and laying on my side, but the movie was still quite touching. And I didn't fall asleep....I still need to see the infamous Hotel Rwanda and Inside Deep Throat, but I will be caught up after that. Yay me.<br /><br />Also, I want to formally recommend two movies - City of God and The Ballad of Jack and Rose<br /><br />City of God blew my mind. Death and carnage on the streets on Rio. Based on a true story too. Remarkable, beautiful, disturbing, and unforgettable movie. See it if you haven't.<br /><br />Tonight I saw The Ballad of Jack and Rose, which officially opens on the 1st (free tickets courtesy of phil b). Great soundtrack (3 or 4 dylan songs), great acting, slightly disturbing, beautiful, and tragic. See it fools.<br /><br />Also, movie club should have an expedition to see Emma's movie pick. imax films are always better in groups. And I don't think we've all seen each other in a while.

<br />
<br />I've been laying low as of late trying to be healthy and work hard, something about February. I've been renting a lot of DVDs lately and wanted to both pass on and solicit recommendations of what to watch and what to avoid).
<br />
<br />One of the funniest films I've seen lately is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/">Shaun of the Dead</a>. Part of the appeal is the oh so British humor, but some things are universal. Like if Zombies invaded my neighborhood, of course I'd go to the Canterbury. It really is hilarious. My parents recommend this one, and you know Ro and Steve just can't be wrong.
<br />
<br />It's also that time when I'm catching up on some things from last year that I wanted to see in the theatre, but had no time. I finally saw <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0333766/">Garden State </a>- yes, yes, you were all correct on that one, wonderful movie, wonderful soundtrack.
<br />
<br />I'm also laughing my way through The Chappelle Show Season I (thanks again Shawn).
<br />
<br />I finally caught Bourne Supremacy which while not as good as the original, still is really entertaining, although a couple moments where I had to call for some crackers to soak up all that cheese, but a smarter action film than most. Not enough <a href="http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0258463/Ss/0258463/1103.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Potente,%20Franka">Franke</a> for my taste, i guess I'll have to rewatch the original or an even <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130827/">better film</a>.
<br />
<br />One film that I did rent in the past couple weeks that I thought was total crap was Collateral. I just had heard a lot about it, including Jamie Foxx's performance. But will someone tell me who was Tom Cruise's inspiration for <a href="http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0369339/Ss/0369339/DF-1738R_mid.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0369339">his character</a>? A cyborg? Maybe an extra from I, Robot. Who knows. I thought it was total crap. It felt like a Miami Vice episode, but minus the Glen Frey.
<br />
<br />So does anyone have any picks for good flicks? Let me know.

MovieSo the movie for this month is "Hotel Rwanda", currently playing at the Metro and the Uptown. Anyone want to go with me on Friday, Jan. 21?
<br />
<br />If the movie isn't in the theaters when we get back from Shakti, my backup pick is "Million Dollar Baby."

Dinner @ "Ruby's". I'm going to assume that's either the place in the U District or the one on 45th and not the diner chain with places on the Eastside.
<br />
<br />So when?
