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?
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...
