Mary Poppins!

Tuppence a bag :(

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

We saw this movie last night (at 3:00 AM since both of our sleep cycles are screwed up :).

I was expecting a total chick flick :) but it actually wasn't.. We both enjoyed the movie, which was awesomely funny without any of the usual grossness that passes of as humor these days.

Also, the british dude (Russel Brand) was a riot, the girls (Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars and Mila Kunis from that 70's show) were cute and movie drew you in. If we need any more proof, Rashmi didn't fall asleep!

In passing, I would definitely watch a Dracula Rock Ballad with puppets (and people!).

And the fat guy from Superbad was there.

 

The Breakfast Club

We saw The Breakfast Club, as part of my multi-part 'Watch all shows alluded to in Psych' binge. The Breakfast Club was in Murder?Murder? Anyone ? Bueller?

I loved it. Rashmi and Satashu didn't :(. According to wikipedia:The Breakfast Club is a 1985 American teen film widely considered as the definitive work in the genre. Written and directed by John Hughes, the storyline follows five teenagers (each representing a different clique in high school) as they spend a Saturday in detention together and come to realize that they are all deeper than their respective stereotypes. The film has become a cult classic and has had a tremendous influence on many coming-of-age films since then. The film was shot entirely in sequence. Shooting began on March 28, 1984 and ended in May of 1984.

Shows what they know.

Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

I thought this was brilliant - especially the ending - which apparently _none_ of my friends liked. Though I don't know if they would have liked the ending - since none of them agreed to watch more than the first episode. However, I am not alone! Tycho agreed - and he gets more than 2 million page views a day - that must count for something.

The ending does tell you that Whedon must have had a pretty screwed up life. I mean if an online series with a name like Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog can't have a happy ending....

Serenity/Firefly

I think I'm reading too many comics. And watching too many movies. This blog is becoming like the TV giude. Rashmi and I (surprising, considering that we never like the same stuff) loved the Firefly series by Whedon. Unfortunately FOX didn't agree and didn't pick up the series after the first year. The series is awesome, and another one where the moralities of the heroes is iffy :). Watch it! 

On a side note there was a lot of protest in the "blogosphere", and so they made a movie called Serenity to finish some of the story lines. 

Never one to let a potential source of procrastin-X  go to waste, I decided to read the 'graphic novel' series Serenity-Better Days. Also awesome, and highly recommended.

Crazy bellringer was right, there's money to be made in a place like this.
