We watched this movie last night–while drinking Margaritas, of course. We got a late start on it because I was IM’ing TurboTax support in an effort to find out why one of my totals isn’t being transferred to my 1040 correctly. No luck there. I’m going to try deleting and re-entering some more data today and see if that works. If not, I’ll have to call their support line because the online support staff has given up at this point. Terrific.

So, between going to bed late and the fact that Brian and I got up early to do yoga (yes, Brian’s jumped on the yoga bandwagon, too), I’m too friggin’ tired to write a movie review. Suffice it to say, this was a very cool movie. It was like a comic book come to life. I guess that shouldn’t be surprising, because the movie was based off of a comic book, but I mean, it really looked like a comic book come to life. The movie was shot in black and white, with occasional splashes of color. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

Anyway, if you want to read a good review, the Flick Filosopher has one.

We watched this movie last night. It was pretty good. Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins starred in it, so it was bound to be decent. We’ve watched so many movies in the past few months, that it is sometimes hard to think of something to write about them (this, being one of those times). But, this is definitely one of the better movies we’ve seen.

Maybe I should turn this into a movie and book review blog. That’s all I seem to be doing lately. Hopefully, I will have more to do (and therefore write about) in the coming months.

I don’t know how I managed to get through the last 16 years without seeing this movie, but I finally rectified that last night. Brian had already seen this one a number of times, so he made sure I didn’t miss any of the good parts (you know, when I was off mixing drinks or whatever). Obviously, this was a good film. The only thing I didn’t like was the part where they explained the title, “You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you’d say to somebody: “You’re gonna like this guy; he’s all right. He’s a goodfella. He’s one of us.” You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.” Granted, a minor piece of dialog, but ever since we watched The Stand miniseries on tv so many years ago, where they did a similar such thing, we always make fun of movies that do this by yelling out “Stand!” And, you know what? Practically every movie does this. Just watch. Is it really necessary to explain the title to the viewer? If so, then maybe they ought to work on the plot a little harder.

Rant aside, I really did like this movie. And, it’s got me primed for The Sopranos, which starts back up in a few weeks.
