Day 30: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

Whose Movie: Steph's

Rating: Chocolatey Delicious :)

Matt and I watched this last night while eating chocolate bars.  The movie is still very enjoyable. I like that it followed Roald Dahl's book slightly better than the 1970s Gene Wilder version. And of course, the movie is a Tim Burton movie, and that is always awesome.  Johnny Depp does a good job being eccentric, and I love Freddie Highmore as Charlie.

Day 29: Caddyshack and Carousel

Caddyshack

 Whose Movie: Matt's

Rating: Really funny
 
This was one of those $5 Wal-Mart buys that Matt couldn't pass up.  He had never seen the whole thing, I had never seen any of it.  All we knew was that it had something to do with Bill Murry and a gopher.  It was so much more than that.  It was super funny, it had a lot of great comedians, and the plot was great.  It was very enjoyable, and the gopher was so cute! I just wanted to hug it.

Carousel

Whose Movie: Steph's

Rating: Timeless

No matter how many times I see this movie, I cry.  I know what's going to happen and when, but whenever the first notes of "When You Walk Through a Storm" begin to play, the tears begin to fall.  I'm in love with Gordan MacRay, and listening to him sing just makes me swoon.  I can listen to "Soliloquy" over and over and over again, and never get tired of it.  Shirley Jones is great in this as well.  Of course, Matt hated this movie, and he is glad that the musicals are spread out.

Next Up: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chicago and Clash of the Titans.

Day 28: Boondock Saints and Borat

Boondock Saints

Whose Movie: Matt's

Rating: I didn't hate it

Okay, so I remember several years ago, I watched half this movie and quit.  I didn't like it, I wasn't going to finish it.  Matt enjoyed it, so he bought it.  Now fast forward to now.  I dreaded watching this movie. I didn't want to watch it at all.  But when we watched it last night, I actually enjoyed it.  I liked the plot, I liked the characters, and I became invested in it.  I didn't LOVE the movie, but I enjoyed it.  I shouldn't have procrastinated watching it.  

Borat

Whose Movie: Matt's

Rating: It's funny, even though I regret enjoying it

This is one of those movies that makes me wonder "why?" This movie is so stupid, I don't particularly like it, but for some inexplicable reason, I enjoy watching it.  It makes me laugh.  And when it's over, I wonder "Why am I laughing? This movie is stupid!"  Last night was the second time I watched the movie.  I saw a couple things that I missed the first time, and still laughed at everything I laughed at the first time.  I'm glad this movie starts with B, because it will be a long time before I have to watch it again.

Next up: We begin our "C" movies.  It's our smallest letter, with only 7 movies, starting with Caddyshack.
