So much, so little
So my lovely wife loves to rents these (sometimes) straight to DVD romantic comedies and then not watch them, and I'm not one to waste a film, especially in the troubled times of excess and wastefulness and global warming and all (just doing my part to save the world...I'm sure my devoting my precious time to watch bad movies is helping the rain forest in some way, I'm sure of it!), nothing can go to waste. So she rents these movie, Partner(s), 2005 dir. Dave Diamond (yes, I know), I.Q. (yes, that I.Q. Walter Matthau as Einstein, and she wonders why I have never sat through this movie in it's entirety...Matthau as Einstein being a major factor, the people that were involved with making this movie lack the obvious...I.Q. to know this was a bad idea...I'm sorry, just couldn't resist the pun), and the third flick, the one and only (her choice BTW, I had nothing to do with it)Rudy Ray Moore in Petey Wheatstraw the Devil's son-in-law, yes, Dolemite himself. So in the end, I end up watching all of these movie by myself while she periodically looks over at the TV from her computer table. I know you can't wait, but I'm tire so what I think of these movies will have to wait...and amazingly, I manages to squeeze in some movies that I want to see, Pen-Ek Rantanaruang's follow-up to his DVD cult success known as Last Life in the Universe, a second viewing of Andy Lau in A Battle Wits, the dismal Chinese interpretation of Hamlet known as the Banquet, and The Queen and a second viewing of The Departed...lastly, the brilliant and the entertainingly hardcore Shaw Brothers on crack The Demon Lute, if you can get your hands on it, grab a twelve pack, a few friend and enjoy...I humbly accept your gratitude in advance.
