A Brand New Year

I have decided that I will discuss one of my favorite topics on my blog a bit more often - movies. Video entertainment (that way it will include TV).

I can't say that I have a favorite movie, because I don't. There's too many that I enjoy to narrow it to just one. But I do know what movies I don't like.

I **don't** like scary movies. Or specifically horror movies. Anything that is designed specifically to scare you but is really gorey. Like the "Jason" movies or pretty much any Clive Barker movie. Event Horizon. House of Wax. The list goes on...

And also movies that are stupid. Like The Three Stooges. Or Dumb & Dumber. Or Ace Ventura.
Or most Will Farrell movies.

But then there are the good movies...

One of the best that I've seen recently -- Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I have seen that movie at least 7 times. I, of course, bought the DVD. And there are so many lines that are just classic:

"Sweet Jesus, Mother of God!"
"I was never in the Peace Corps." "Oh, I really liked that about you."
"5 or 6 years ago..."
"I said I saw your dad on Fantasy Island!"
"I can't believe I bought my real parents to our wedding."
"That's all John, sweetheart..."
"If you don't like them we can take them back." "All right, I don't like them." "You'll get used to them."
"Web of lies!"
"We have an unusual problem here, Jane. You obviously want me dead, and I'm less and less concerned for your well-being."
"Wait, why do I get the girly gun?" "What? Are you kidding me?"
"I never went to MIT. Notre Dame. Art History major." "Art?" History! It's reputable!"

Good stuff.
