More Netflix moments

If you like movies, or rather find yourself addicted to them like me, then Netflix is good for getting your fix. I buy a lot of DVD's, but generally only those that I'm pretty sure I'll like. So I miss a lot otherwise, and that's where Netflix helps.

Tonight I watched Blue Crush. I love Hawaii, and Kate Bosworth is hot (except when they mapped her face on to some random surfer). Never would have pegged her for Lois Lane in Superman if I saw this one first. I'm a sucker for sappy sports movies too, which this kind of is. The character development is kinda weak, but there's a lot of nice cinemaphotography around Oahu.

Red Eye was pretty good. Rachel McAdams as an action star? Who knew. Good departure for Wes Craven too.

The Notebook was super sappy, and only an above average love story because of the subplot that happens in the present. The special features are funny because of all the chicks that say they can't believe a guy wrote it. As if we're emotionally crippled because we have a penis.

Oceans Twelve was somewhat unremarkable, but I do want to see the original remake (if that makes sense) just to see the Bellagio. I only saw bits and pieces when we had free HBO one week.

Over The Hedge came out on DVD recently, and you should buy it. Very hilarious.

I haven't seen Ocean's Twelve, but Ocean's Eleven was good. I loved it enough to buy it. And it makes me think of Vegas. Pretty up to date for a Vegas movie, so It still looks like the Vegas I know.

The Departed is a fantastic movie if you have not seen it.

Ocean's Eleven is one of those movies I can pop in anytime and enjoy it. There are certain movies out there that I have to be in the mood to watch them, but that is not one of them.
