What not to rent

We had three movies for the weekend: a chick flick, a black exploitation spoof, and a Ricky Gervaise comedy.

Chick flick - Coco Before Chanel, had one strike against it with Audrey Tautou, not your father's favorite. Although to be fair, he hated Amelie, not her. At least it had production value. It was beautifully filmed and the costumes were yummie. She was kind of a slut.

Black exploitation - Black Dynamite (not dy-NO-mite), it had it's moments, way over the top and not a genre I'm familiar with. Had a couple of laugh out loud scenes and the graphics were creative and fun. Rather like Airplane with huge afros and boobs.

Ricky Gervaise - The Invention of Lying, completely unwatchable. We invested anywhere form 30 minutes to several hours depending on who you ask. Had to turn it off, just couldn't take it anymore. No laughs and preachy for pete's sake. Dozens of high profile cameos couldn't make it entertaining. It was like an SNL skit that wouldn't end.

So nothing I can recommend. Rent the LeBron doc, more drama for the money and much more fun.

More Than a Game

This is a great movie. The director started this as a ten minute project for a college class. He soon realized it was much more.

I knew nothing about LeBron James before this. I've always liked him, now I know why.

I say rent it!

Modern Family

We just watched "Modern Family", here is my favorite exchange...

The kids are collecting bottles to raise money, the youngest askes his dad:

“What’s Jägermiester?”

“Well, um, you know when in a fairy tale there’s always a potion that makes the princess fall asleep and then the guys start kissing her? This is like that, except you don’t wake up in a castle, you wake up in a frat house with a bad reputation.”
