Just watched my new vcd: Barefoot in the Park starring Bridget Fonda and Robert Redford. I always enjoy old movies. maybe because they're wholesome yet aren't necessarily conservative. Hmm did that make sense? for example, the couple doesn't leave the hotel room for 6 days but the sex implication is not distasteful. Also the scene where jane fonda is reaching for the heater with their neighbor giving her a boost and getting a full view of her lace undies. robert redford goes out of the room to see this and stops in his tracks. But he's not suspicious of her or him at all. huh? in modern times the husband would have probably beaten the old man to death by now. so how much has changed over the years? remember this was set in the 60s.
I watched Down With Love last weekend with Marc and Frances. Also set in the 60s. You have to see this movie. The mantra is down with love but not sex. I thought that when you talk about the old days they were more conservative? but apparently sex was pretty much rampant then. Women just dressed better then! hehe...but really, i like the outfits of those days. If you see the movie, watch out for the split screen scene with Ewan in a towel (hoo boy)...
Shift back to present time...watched Tomb Raider 2 with Tim last Tuesday. The movie was pretty good for me, i mean the action scenes were pretty creative and cool. Although my complaint lies with the director. Most of the scenes were not shot at different angles, usually just one which really was a waste of good choreography don't you think? i liked the first Tomb Raider movie and hey that was directed by Simon West who is already an accomplished creative genius. The story was interesting also which got me and tim trying to figure out the script as the movie played on...that was fun hehe.
some negative points: i was eating the blandest popcorn! no salt or butter. any of my friends will tell you that i never eat popcorn that way. But nevertheless i saved my hips a few extra inches so i guess it's ok. (Ziggy: "that will go straight to your hips margie!") Ok but thanks to tim for yummy dinner at CPK (haven't eaten there since december!) i got to eat my ravioli yipee! :)
oh and another thing, they could have picked a hotter guy to play beside the ever-luscious Angelina Jolie. The accent only semi-made up for his lack of appeal. |
