I just finished watching Junebug, my latest Netflix acquisition. I thought it was a great movie- it really captured the small town North Carolina and Southern culture. The characters were slightly exaggerated, but charming none the less. Amy Adams was amazing in her role as Ashley- the hospital scene was really amazing and touching. I don’t know how this movie has escaped me, but I’m happy to have finally seen it. Next up, Gosford Park.
Maybe there should be a writer’s strike more often. Last night’s SNL show was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time – full of hilarious political and social commentary and (to my excitement) several Oscar-worthy ribs. I’ve seen all the best picture nominees and, although I loved Juno, I have to say that my two favorites were “There Will Be Blood” and “No Country for Old Men.” Apparently, SNL felt the same way, and worked up a skit including both movies that is bound to become a classic. “I Drink Your Milkshake” was the perfect precursor to the Oscars. Seriously, Amy Poehler, you don’t even have to speak to be the funniest person alive.
