I'm not as much of a movie buff as I thought.

Due to a certain boy, I have been watching a lot of movies lately. I always thought I had seen a lot of movies. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. This boy has seen A LOT of movies and he (mostly thankfully) has made it his mission to overload me with film. Let's review:

A Clockwork Orange - My favorite book of all time. I was scared to watch the movie because I knew it couldn't live up to the book. I was not wrong. I thought it was okay. I'm certain that I would have really enjoyed it had I not read the book beforehand, but I had such high expectations going into it that it was impossible to not have been disappointed. Maybe I'll try to watch it again sometime since I know now not to expect too much.

Y tu Mama Tambien - This is not one I want to linger on for too long. I am still trying to forget that I watched it. Let's just say that this is not a first date movie, and I learned that the hard way. Why, you may ask. There is a lot of graphic sex, which is fine if you're expecting it, but I was not and I found it a little off-putting to be honest.

True Romance - I have a soft spot for Quentin Tarantino. I had never seen this little gem and it's hooky, but I rather enjoyed it. What can be better than falling in love with a call girl and killing a bunch of people? That's right, nothing.

The Ten - I loved this, but I suspect that I stand alone. It was funny and weird. And very, very silly. I appreciate a little bit of silly every once and awhile, and although this did take the silliness a little bit over the top once and awhile, I was okay with it.

Blow - We only got through the first hour or so because there was something wrong with the audio, and I fell asleep during part of that hour, so I've got to give this one another look. We didn't even see Penelope Cruz, so I've got to return to this.

I know that there must be more than we've watched, but they must not have been very memorable. And there is a growing list of movies that we still need to watch, which include but are not limited to: Trainspotting, Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints, The Rules of the Game, Jackie Brown, and Inglorious Basterds. Stay tuned, I have more to critique soon.
