Movie(s) of the day

So, being a self proclaimed "Movie-aholic" it's only natural that I watch AT LEAST 1.5 movies a day. Is this normal, let alone healthy? I'm not quite sure. Before work, during work, after work.. besides binge drinking, that seems to be the only consistant thing in my life.

Today before work I watched Miller's Crossing (for the first time), by the ever amusing Cohen Brothers. A well made gangster noir movie worth it's reputation as one of the Cohen's finest; though I must say, the ending.. predictable. The acting of both main characters Tom and Leo was flawless, the Washington backdrop was gorgeous and the sharp dialogue: impressive.

BUT, Marsha Gay Harden as the siren? Really? Maybe I'm biased, maybe it's just her voice that drives me off the walls and I can't seem to get beyond that. At any rate, she bugged me through out the whole movie. Gabriel Byrne on the other hand, from felonious Tom Reagan to devoted Father Kiernan, I fall in love with every character you play. I'd glady bear on my body the stigmata of Jesus if it was to be you saving me.

Bottom line, good movie.. but not one I'd watch over and over. It's been about 10 hours since I watched it, and the only thing I can remember is that it was pretty, had well written dialogue, and lots of guns. This review kinda went from good to bad huh..

Then I had some more time to kill so I watched Zack & Miri Make A Porno (for the third time.) Fantastic. Sex, anal leakage, strap ons, a random little rat dog, these are all things I enjoy in a movie. The real life porn star's acting wasn't as awful as I would have thought, and I loved the relationship of Zack and Miri, very relatable and honest. This is the type of fun movie I like to watch over and over.
