Movies We Watch

Year of the Dog was a long form commercial for PETA. It was actually the least upbeat film we watched this Sunday. The film begins with Molly Shannon (never known for being in a film that was such a downer) and her dog Pencil. The most adorable little beagle. We get very little time with [...]

You would think that a film about a paraplegic with “Locked In Syndrome” would be pretty long and torturous. In this film, you would be wrong. A great film with amazing internal and external dialogue. I loved the play with the camera. You never saw Jean-Do until he made the decision to live. Prior to [...]

Diabetics beware! This is the sweetest film you may ever see. I had no idea that if you were born from 2 musicians you could be a musical prodigy and hear music in everything.

Underage prostitutes, rape, babies, human trafficking, killings in back rooms and an undercover agent. Who knew that a tattoo could tell so much more than you were drunk at a frat party and thought getting a tramp [...]

My hope was to start the holiday season with a sweet holiday film, then we would watch A Colbert Christmas. We probably should have found something else to watch before the Colbert (which was much fun). This French Canadian film about the mythos of Santa told via a Mail Carrier that becomes an elf upon [...]

A slow moving (yet interesting look) at how Hannibal Lecter came into his cannibalistic ways. This period piece that starts during World War II follows young Hannibal through the death of his parents and sister through to his ‘emigration’ to Canada. He manages to kill everyone that killed his sister. It was odd that he [...]
