Just thought I’d put up a quick note of the new movies I picked up this week…I may start doing this from time to time as I add to my already extensive collection. This weekend I picked up two that had come in while I was off on vacation, then one today that we rarely get into the store, so I figured it was worth grabbing when it showed up.<\/p>\n
X-Files: Season 2<\/a>: I’d never seen any of the X-Files until just a few months ago, when I picked up the Season 1 box set purely on the strength of what I’d heard people say about it. Have to say, I’m glad I did…one of the few downsides to my policy of not watching television is that I do occasionally miss out on a show really worth watching, and X-Files is definitely one of those. I got really sucked in to Season 1<\/a>, and the show just keeps getting better. So far I’m 4 episodes into Season 2, and realizing that I’m going to have to wait until March for Season 3<\/a> is really starting to hurt.<\/p>\n His Girl Friday<\/a>: This has been one of my favorite classic comedies for a long, long time. This adaptation of the play The Front Page<\/a> with Cary Grant<\/a> and Rosalind Russell<\/a> moves at a mile a minute, and is absolutely hilarious through and through — this is one comedy I’d recommend without reservations to anyone. Just make sure you can listen quickly, this is one of the fastest moving films I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n Nosferatu<\/a>: This is the one that I grabbed on a whim, as it doesn’t appear in the store very often \u2014 the original 1922 version of the classic horror film Nosferatu. This is almost a legendary adaptation of the Dracula story, and I’m currently really looking forward to the upcoming film Shadow of the Vampire<\/a>, a highly fictional (but fascinating looking) account of the making of Nosferatu, starting John Malkovich<\/a> and Willem Dafoe<\/a>. If you haven’t seen previews for this one yet, track them down\u2026.<\/p>\n And that’s it for my post-vacaition binge…thank goodness I get paid on Tuesday, there’s another good batch coming in then!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just thought I’d put up a quick note of the new movies I picked up this week…I may start doing this from time to time as I add to my already extensive collection.
