I fell asleep after watching it and embarked on the most hellishly terrifying nightmare I've ever had. Suffice it to say that its a movie better watched around noon.
Anyhow, I thought it time for another Top Five, I've actually got two today that I thought were interesting:
First, my Top Five Most Played Songs on iTunes
- First Day of My Life -Bright Eyes
- Little Boxes -Death Cab For Cutie (Originally by Woodie Guthrie, the version covered is by Pete Seeger)
- What I Got -Sublime
- What Sarah Said -Death Cab For Cutie
- The Sound of Settling -Death Cab for Cutie
Second, my Top Five Movies with Comedians in Serious Roles (what a mouthful)
- The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -Jim Carrey as a social recluse in a damaged relationship, who turns to self induced amnesia to forget his woes.
- The Pursuit of Happyness -Will Smith as a severely down on his luck father in new york tries to make a life for his son
- Reign Over Me -Adam Sandler as a grief struck man who lost his family in the 911 attacks becomes the focus of attention for one of his long-lost friends.
- Lost in Translation -Bill Murray plays an exasperated actor stuck in an airport when his flight gets canceled, romantic tension with Scarlet Johansson ensues.
- Dan in Real Life -Steve Carrell as a recently single man who meets the perfect woman on his way to a family reunion, technically a comedy, but Carrell's role is much more serious, quite like his role as a suicidal, gay Proust scholar in 'Little Miss Sunshine".
reign over me is by far one of my favorite movies.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, critics hated Sandler's performance, they all said it is was gimmicky. Just goes to show that Critics don't know shit.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Pursuit of Happyness. It made me cry.
