I Love Movies

Today, I did not attend class because I fell ill.  I was feverish and completely congested.  My allergy medication did not help at all, which was a clear indicator that I was sick.  I took a super steamy shower to help clear my sinuses and decided that I would watch a movie since I was already up at 7:00 in the morning.  When I attended the UNI conference, we stopped by a closing Blockbuster and I bought four movies for a fraction of the original price.  I bought: The Fall, An Education, Revolutionary Road, and I'm Not There.  I had already seen the latter two before the purchase, and I watched An Education about two weeks ago.  Today was the day to finally watch The Fall.



I absolutely ADORE Lee Pace.  I have the biggest crush on him thanks to Pushing Daisies.  He was the main reason why I bought the movie.  I had no idea what the movie was about.  The movie is beautiful - interesting plot, visually pleasing, wonderful soundtrack.  Unfortunately, I feel asleep the first time around (hello, sick coma!), but I have watched it again since this morning!



An Education is another movie I liked.  I've watched it four times since my first initial viewing two weeks ago.  Apparently its adapted from the book An Education by Nick Hornby (who wrote A Long Way Down and High Fidelity).  I enjoy Hornby's writings, so I knew that this movie was right up my alley.

What movies do you recommend?

  1. I wanted to see "An Education" when it was out in theaters (or theater, I should say, it was only showing in one theater in Lexington last year), but I never did...
