Tagged by Amy (for all the rest of my dear friends who’ve tagged me for other memes…I’m getting there! This was the quickest one I could answer!)
Hmm…not sure about the “critically acclaimed” part, but here’s my list:
Quills: watched approximately 20 minutes. Sucked in by an all-star cast. The most vile movie ever made. Ever.
Mystic River: disappointing. Powerful performances, but absolutely despised the ending.
Michael: You don’t mess with St. Michael the Archangel…enough said.
Titus: I love Shakespeare. The anachronisms were annoying and the images incredibly disturbing. Give me Sir Laurence Olivier! (Anthony Hopkins is one of my favorite actors…just not in this film)
The Exorcist: beyond horrific. I made it half way through this one. Far too real…
Me, Myself and Irene: Jim Carrey. That’s why. He’s funny. Or at least he was. Made through 1/3.
Interestingly enough, out of that list only one of the movies was a deliberate viewing “choice.” The others were invitations, suggestions and coercions. The one I wanted to see: Mystic River.
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.
