Even More Movie Reviews

Not wanting to be left of out of the Oscar conversation, I went ahead and put "The Social Network" in my Netflix Cue and went and saw The King's Speech" at the artsy fartsy little theater just up the street from my apartment.

Oh man, another fucking movie review? What gives BS, how com you are not talking about coffee anymore?

Okay, so one of these days I will get around to talking about coffee and how it turns me on. Until then, dear reader, you will have to put up with these damn Movie Reviews. Besides, ever since I did my taxes on Turbo Tax, I discovered that if I write a review of all the movies that I go see, I can actually write off the cost of the ticket. So it is pretty much like paying myself to go to the movie. Unless, of course, I somehow make make some actual money from this damn blog, which at this moment seems like a very remote possibility.

So anyways back to the King's Speech.

I thought this was one of the best movies I have seen all year. Perhaps even better than Inception. The acting was superb and the story was engrossing enough for me to ignore the sound of the hissing oxygen tank that a geriatric patron had brought in with him. I mean, do not get me wrong, I am all for old people keeping in touch with the latest movies, and understand that this wry and dry British Drama is exactly the type of flick old people want to watch, but still, why the heck did they have to sit in the same row as me?

Ok, ok enough bitching. At least there weren't any kids running laps around the theater like the one time I went in saw King Kong. As I said, the King's Speech was easily the best movie of the year and the wonderful acting by everyone involved (especially Colin Firth) kept me captivated and enabled me to ignore the ticking hisses that were escaping from the oxygen tank seated 10 seats down from me. I thought this film was a great look into the intimate lives of the Royal Family during the dawn of the Modern Era and how lonely it is to be King. I think it probably had more to say about the loneliness that pervades in this era of connectedness than the Social Network without trying to beat the viewer over the head with it.

It totally deserved the Oscar.

And that is all I have to say about that.

Woah, wait a minute BS...

Is that all you are going to say about the Oscars? Really, after all that talk about them?

Well okay: James Franco looked stoned and Anne Hathaway looked pretty hot. I also appreciated the F-Bomb dropped by that chick from The Fighter. Other than that it, it was the pretty much the most boring Oscar Show ever, on par with The Grammys. Judging from the ratings, thats what everyone else thought too. Maybe next year they will get Ricky Gervais to host it in order to add a little kick to it.
