Couple of Movies for ya...

So its 1000 on a Saturday night, so you know someone's on the couch sleeping, and it's not this guy...It's been an enjoyable evening, with a trip to the new Whole Foods in Old Town, and some Rick Bayless for dinner, and Lamar Street Pale Ale (it's organic!) as the drink of choice for the night.

We've watched a couple of movies the past couple of nights:
Grizzly Man - Detailed portrait of a guy who was doing great work for wildlife, but became a little too self-obsessed for his own good, and it wound up leading to his death. The filmmaker (Werner Herzog) could have focused on how INSANE the subject was, but it's a much deeper film than that. Earned 5/5 stars.

The Producers (old version): So you can make more money with a Broadway flop than a Broadway play? I got too lost in the financials of the entire movie. The setup of the movie is, in a word, LOUD. There's lots of yelling and me wishing Gene Wilder could play more roles like Willy Wonka (subdued, judgmental). But once they get to the opening of the play, I didn't stop laughing for a good 20 minutes. I haven't seen the play, nor have I seen the new movie, and this was a good experience. I like Mel Brooks' old movies, and this ranks up there. Earned 4/5 stars.

Listening to Calexico while writing this...Upstairs neighbors are listening to some type of techno-funk, and they have good subwoofers.
