Sorry for the delay. Hopefully the pics tied everyone over. Here is the new list, some good, some bad, some funny, some sad. If anyone has any suggestions on what to watch next I am all ears! Here we go...

All Babes Want to Kill Me - Seriously, this is a movie. Follow the link to read more. Not a bad film for being independent. Pretty funny actually, if the title didn't give that away. If you can find a rental and you plan on getting a little liquored, pick it up.

Beyond the Sea - Interesting story of Bobby Darin the singer. Good music but not a fantastic movie. Kevin Spacey did a good job of it though. Rental.

Capote - Finally got to see this after purchasing it over 7 months ago. I can see why it was nominated for so many awards. Really great movie about Truman Capote during his research for his book "In Cold Blood". Definite rental if you haven't seen it yet.

Idlewild - This movie was so much fun. The music, the acting, the dancing, the story, all really good. This is a definite purchase.

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio - Bought this one around the same time as Capote and sat down and watched it too. The true story of how a mother raised ten kids by entering prize winning contests for major company's based in the 50's. This was a great movie, go buy it cause you can watch it over and over.

Casino - I must have been in the mood for Scorsese this week. I forgot how good this movie was. Released in 1995 tells the story of the "old days" in Las Vegas. This is great, if you haven't seen it go buy it... watch out for the language though. If someone could tell me how many times they say the "F" word I would be impressed.

School for Scoundrels - Ahahahahahaha! I am still laughing. Thornton and Heder are great in this and play off each other so well. If you can't tell what it is by the title you probably won't like it. Definite rental.

Stranger Than Fiction - Finally Will Ferrell doing another good movie. I actually enjoyed this. Good story, funny, worth a rental.

The Departed - The other Scorsese. Not as good as I was expecting and crazy long ... Two and a half hours. Good story, good characters, great acting, but not worth as many nominations and hype as it is getting. Still worth seeing though... now that you can rent it.

Also I hooked myself up with a flickr account, most photo's from this blog and others are up there. Linky http://www.flickr.com/photos/wudrich Check it out.

The title is the hardest part

What a bad week. I only managed to watch 2 movies. I spent more time looking and trying to decide than watching. The ever growing collection seems to be getting, well a little Too Big. It now stands at 405 dvd's. I never thought I could ever have that many, let alone the amount of money I have spent over the years collecting. #405 was Tim Burtons Corpse Bride. Not as good as Nightmare before Xmas but still a very cool film style with a decent story. I might have to start taking donations to buy myself a larger wall unit to store them all. LOL. Anyway on with the reviews.

Proof - Released in 2005, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, and Jake Gyllenhaal. It tells the story of an aging Math Professor (Hopkins) as he has fallen into madness and his daughter (Paltrow) who things she isn't far behind. A proof is discovered of a mathematical theory who's origin is questioned. Decent story and the only performance I have ever liked by Paltrow. Anthony Hopkins is great as usual followed by Gyllenhaal, the more movies I see with him I seem to like. Pick it up as a rental.

All Babes Want to Kill Me - Seriously, that is the title. Don't ask how I came across it. This ridiculous "B" movie is surprisingly funny. It follows 1 of 3 brothers who develops a "scent" that makes "babes" want to kill him. After moving to the desert and grows up, his brother comes to see him and help him find the love of his life. Venturing back into the city, hilarity ensues as all manner of "babes" try and beat him up. Worth a rental if you can find it. Also along the same lines is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter ... classics I tell you classics!
