Movies?

Response to an email received from a best friend, expressing concern that her Netflix queue was low, followed by a request for suggestions with which to fill said queue:

sidenote:  another best friend has already responded concisely with a one sentence response recommending the AMC series Mad Men...

"Mad Men. hmm. I tried to watch it twice and hated it. But lots of people I love and respect are hooked on it... so I must've been wrong about it. Ok, yes, I'll give it another shot.


I haven't watched it yet, but I have it at home, A Single Man. My mom said it was really good. Have you seen A Dark Knight yet? I know that's random, but it really is good. The most recent season of Entourage is out on Netflix now! I have that at home too.

Other movies I haven't seen but want to: 2 Days in Paris, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Alice in Wonderland, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (directed by Jim from the Office aka John Krasinski)

Movies I saw that aren't great, but that I liked a lot anyway: The Proposal. Game 6. Game 6 is different, with Michael Keaton and Robert Downey, Jr. It all takes place in one day. Michael Keaton is a famous playwrite who has his new big play opening on Broadway that night, and it's about his day- he has an affair, there's an explosion of some kind and he has to hole up in a pub and there occurs a long conversation with a famous theater actor he's worked with before, he has to go to the theater and deal with his lead actor who can't remember his lines, he deals with is daughter who hates him, he visits his father in the old neighborhood... but through the whole thing, he's getting eaten up inside with stress over the report that a famous reviewer of plays (one, Mr. Robert Downey, Jr.) is coming to his play tonight. Like I said, it's weird, and preposterous. But I still really liked it! great acting.

Next? :)"
