5-Word 365 #242 – Super Snooper
Here’s day 2 of my mini Ernest Borgnine season, catching up on some of his flicks that I have missed over the years. There will be more of these popping up here and there as the year goes on.
Spoofs and Parodies
5-Word 365 #240 – Slackers
Are there any actors or actresses that you just don’t enjoy watching? Whose mere presence in a movie can be reason enough for you not to watch it? If there is one for me, it’s Jason Schwartzman. Nothing against him personally – I’m sure he’s a great guy – but the characters he plays are always so damned irritating that I just cannot bear to suffer through the experience. I’m trying to grow as a person, however, so I thought I’d give this one a try.
5-Word 365 #239 – Iron Sky
I imagine I’m a little late to the party with this one. Oh well, I guess it’s a novelty to do a WTF Sunday review that most of you will have heard of.
5-Word 365 #233 – BASEketball
Yes, I know. Here’s another one that I’m a little bit ashamed to admit I had never seen before today.
5-Word 365 #209 – Bingo
This week on Kids’ Film Friday we’ve got another recommendation from Andy. He’s given me two bum suggestions in the past, but will it be third time lucky?
5-Word 365 #176 – Lucky Luke
Things were a bit quiet on the festival front today, seeing as how it was Sunday and all, so I decided to take a trip back in time. Today’s film is one that premiered here at the EIFF in 2009, though unfortunately I had to wait three years to see it.
5-Word 365 #169 – Lust In The Dust
Things are going to be changing slightly here at 5-Word over the next couple of weeks, since tomorrow is the start of the Edinburgh Film Festival. Well, the start of the press screenings at least; the fest proper begins on Wednesday with the UK premiere of William Friedkin’s Killer Joe. I’ll be going to at least two or three screenings each day so there’ll be more (probably shorter) posts appearing here for the duration. But that’s all tomorrow. For today, I bring you…
5-Word 365 #167 – Ella Enchanted
I may have mentioned this once or twice before, but I am a soppy git. I don’t like feeling manipulated, but anything genuinely romantic just gets me all misty. A friend of mine sent me a YouTube clip today where a guy got all his friends and family to do a musical number in the street to help him propose to his girlfriend, and watching it sort of reminded me of the opening credit sequence from Get Over It (only with a happier ending). I’ve seen that film too many times to write about it here in this project. Luckily for me though, the director Tommy O’Haver followed it up with an adaptation of a book that was an updated version of Cinderella. It’s sort of for kids, and it’s on Lovefilm streaming. Ha! You all thought this was just going to be another random ramble, didn’t you?!
5-Word 365 #162 – Reform School Girls
I spent about an hour today untangling the lines on a kite. Don’t ask.
5-Word 365 #159 – Man With The Screaming Brain
This one’s going to be brief tonight. I have the flu and I would really rather just try and get some sleep. Please feel free to send me some get-well cards (and rum). Email me for the address. Don’t forget the rum.
