Yesterday I didn’t post anything, I watched two movies, one called Awful Normal about a woman who goes and confronts the friend of her father that sexually abused her. It was good that the woman and her family were telling the story, but the execution of the movie was only so so. It felt like a therapy project more than a movie for distribution. I also thought it was odd that in the end, she hugged him and forgave him, which I just didn’t get.
The second movie yesterday was The God Who Wasn’t There about a man’s journey to find his atheism after growing up a fundamentalist Christian. Not bad, some interesting interviews, but nothing to write a blog about.
Actually, that’s not fair to either of these movies, they were both pretty good, I was just distracted yesterday. I am thinking about applying to grad school so I was working on that rather than paying attention to the movies. Bad me.
Today however, I can’t seem to get the Amazon to work, and Netflix is blocked, so today may be an all Law and Order day. J
HA! I found a work around, Hulu. Although they have a SHIT-EYE selection of documentaries, so we are starting off with American Meth narrated by Val Kilmer. Wow, I learned something new about meth, that some addicts will drink trucker pee they find in bottles on the road thinking that if the trucker does meth, that they can recycle some of the active ingredients. WTF???? Decent movie for yet another “OMG, Meth is bad” doc.
Since I have limited access today, I have moved on to American Drug War which I am pretty sure I have seen before, but am watching again because I don’t remember it and it wasn’t rated. Ok, now that I am twenty minutes in, I have totally watched this before. It is a good one, just another discussion of the drug war. Man, seems like everyone with a camera wants to make drug war stories.
Detroit 187 is where I went...booo! It's another bad cop show, but not as entertaining as Law and Order.
