Two Thumbs Up

I have a buddy of mine who does these really great movie reviews. These are like real world reviews from someone who has similar tastes to mine. I mean these were nothing like what you read in the paper or that I could find on line. He used to send out an e-mail every few weeks or so with a bunch of new DVD or theater releases and his and his wife’s comments. They would include things like “this movie sucked, but for the guys there was a great lesbian scene about 30 minutes in” or “If you have to watch a chick flix with your wife…this one is tolerable.”

The reason why I am missing his reviews so much now is that my wife and I are doing Netflix. A friend of ours recently gave us a gift subscription and we are loving it. It is nice not to have to worry about returning them and their User Interface is great. I love how you just keep a running list of what you want to see.

We used to love going to the movies, I think we went at least twice a month. That all changed after having Ainsley, now we prefer to watch movies at home. And with summer reruns here now is the time…the only problem is once we catch up to the movies we missed – what then. Netflix does an OK job of recommending, but there have been plenty of Dogs too. I personally love finding those movies that were not huge releases and after watching them you can’t believe that they weren’t. I mean most people would have never heard of Swingers or even Pulp Fiction if not for video.

So anyone have some recommendations? I guess I need to talk my friend into doing a Guest Blog Movie Review.
