What To Watch

This Saturday evening, like many, many, many before it, is one of sitting on my bed, in my pajamas, watching movies. Not that I mind. I love movies. In fact, I have been thinking of using this blog to do a few "reviews" so to speak. I took a movie criticism class once, and decided as a writer, I'm not that mean. I remember each section had to choose 2 movies. I knew another girl who was in the other section. Her class, and I kid you not when I tell you this, chose the movies, "Legally Blonde" and "Clueless. What 2 movies did my class chose, you may ask? We chose, "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile". Seriously. Two of the most compicated, heart wreching movies ever made. I did fall in love with Morgan Freeman thanks to that class. Of the two, we only had to pick one to critique. The hard part was, we had to watch it at least 3 times per draft. And for the final we had to do a complete 3 page review. Now I know 3 pages is nothing for a research paper. I once wrote a 6 page paper in 2 hours and 45 minutes. But, that is yet another story for another time. Anyway, I ended up watching that movie 11 times throughout the quarter. 11 TIMES! That was in 2003, and I have yet to watch either movie since. I bet you're wondering, "Why is this chick babbling about movie reviews??" Well, one reason is, I have no real topic for today's blog. The second reason is, I am in a movie rut. I haven't seen a new movie that I actually couldn't get enough of since I saw "The Tourist". All I can say about that movie is, Johnny Depp is delicious. Angelina Jolie is equally delicous. So I sit here on my bed, in my pajamas, at 7:08 p.m. on a Saturday night, wondering what movie I should watch. But then again, dear bloggers, I do have a weeks worth of "Whose Line Is It Anyway" reruns on the DVR. Maybe just a good belly laugh is in order.
