MOVIES- October through December

And now that Quarter 4 of 2006 is over, here's my list of movies for the the last part of the year.

Not as many as in previous quarters, and none from theaters. But Giftfics and NaNoWriMo zapped a lot of my free time. Still, there are a lot.

You saw Junebug? Did you like it?

I put it on my blockbuster queue and saw it several weeks ago. Strangely enough, I LOOOOOOOVED it!

The brilliance was subtle but there. It felt very true, especially since I lived in North Carolina for about 6 years as a child. The song at the beginning and ending of the movie is very catchy, too. Wish I could find a good recording of it online :-) The characters were very interesting to get to know.
And I loved Ben in it! That moment when he's going crazy trying to tape the meercat show for his wife absolutely floored me. To me, that is true love. I want a guy who'll do that for me.
I intend to write up my "favorite movies of the year" list sometime in the next day or two, and I was going to put this on the list. What I liked about it has to do with something a coworker of my father said to me once when he was driving me home from work. It was about how people in different places/classes may seem a lot different. But really it's just the vocabulary and examples that they use that are different. They're really just as smart and just as talented, and certainly the emotions are exactly the same. I understood what he meant but I'd never had a really good example of that until I saw this movie.

It really touched me... and it brought out a lot of emotions. But I most liked how real it was. Thanks for the rec!

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it. Yeah, the taping of the meercat scene was one of my favorites. He's flipping through the channels all randomly and the look on his face when he comes accross the meercat story was pretty awesome. The tab thing being on sucked though. I loved JOhnnny and Ashley. And the dad, he was pretty funny.
