May 18, 2008 (#096 Watch 5 Movies in One Day)
So we went for it yesterday and watched five movies in one day,
which isn't that huge of a deal, but we started late in the evening and got finished around 4 am.
our movies were:
01: Reservation Road: A father tries to track down the person who hit and ran, killing his son. A pretty ok movie, good acting and some pretty intense scenes between the two leads.
02: Spiral: A look into an awkward telemarketer's life as he interacts with women and struggles with his personal demons. Pretty great movie, probably my favorite of the 5 we watched. Good acting, good ending.
03: Semi-pro: We decided to break up the marathon with this mindless will ferrell comedy. There's a few good laughs in here, mostly (for me) provided by will ferrell's character freaking out and swearing a lot.
04: How To Rob A Bank: A twenty something tired of ATM surcharges goes to the bank to withdraw his $20, and gets swept up in a bank heist. It's an interesting enough concept, but the movie suffers from bad acting, and some poor directing decisions. Probably my least favorite of the 5.
05: The Mist: The day following a wild hurricane, a group of townspeople bunker down in the local supermarket as a thick mist covers the town, and brings a whole slew of creatures with it. The best thing about this movie is the relationships between the people in the store, the insane religious preacher lady, and the controversy that comes from that. The ending was.. interesting, but didn't do much for me.
