It was lost in the summer bs and not a lot of people saw.

Her English is decent, but not great or expanded, and right away - well, I didn't quite know the movie was going to have that kind of language, not that I care - I just didn't know - my mom asked all these question "what does this mean, what does that mean?"<br /><br />so right from the start - my mom is like what does "yeast infection" mean, what does "you're dick" mean, what does "she's a pussy mean", what does "weed" mean, what's "take her out for a doggy date mean" etc etc. No breaks! <br /><br />At the end of the movie she says to me "so the cancer guy's friend, I don't know English all that well, but he spoke a pretty coarse gutter language, didn't he?" And then (she'd had a couple of glasses of red wine): "so this whole language class I just had, can you repeat that for mean when I'm fully sober tomorrow?"Evanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13854278.post-33910023613712463962012-01-24T20:07:35.242-08:002012-01-24T20:07:35.242-08:00I also added five almosts to my top 15--CEDAR RAPI...I also added five almosts to my top 15--CEDAR RAPIDS, THE DESCENDANTS, ATTACK THE BLOCK, BRIDESMAIDS and CARRE BLANC.<br /><br />I had a snafu with my blogger account and it deleted recaps I was writing in for all top 15...didn't want to rewrite them so just have the list here.

Luckily, I didn't have to see that one...Michael Bay is the devil you know. It could have been called "Films that I thought I'd like a lot more but left disappointed".<br /><br />I don't really agree w/ most of the OFCC choices. Way more mainstream and full of frontrunner choices I think.Joshua Blevins Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675067672065084992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13854278.post-66567656814529205772012-01-24T19:52:55.307-08:002012-01-24T19:52:55.307-08:00Disregard earlier comment about the "worst&qu...Disregard earlier comment about the "worst" lists.

No, sir.<br /><br />I was underwhelmed by some of the other Oklahoma Film Critics lists.

I saw recently it's playing streaming on Netflix, maybe I'll give it s shot! Just to be able to join the talk. <br />My Week With Marilyn, agreed, too. didn't like it much while I watched it, like it now even less.<br />About to go see Hugo soon (and The Artist a second time with my mom) - and 50/50 coming in the mail tomorrow.<br /><br />Oh, one movie I really didn't like in 2011 was the Dutch movie Bride Flight - I rarely like things from Holland, though ;) What a predictable and blagh story, and on top of that the person I saw it with asks me why European women are always so slutty. Eh, excuse me? Thanks a lot!Evanoreply@blogger.com
