Funny Movies

March 18, 2008

I’m not blogging, and I did not fall off the treadmill, or the stairmaster, or whatever it’s called, or is.  I did, however, bump into it by accident, because I forgot it was there. And then I forgot that I bumped into it.  This caused a mild injury to my chest area that I, due to a lack of memory, mistook for signs of an as yet undetectable breast tumor. In the midst of having my breast flattened to within an inch of my life/mammogram, I suddenly remembered bumping into the exercise type machine apparatus thing and tried to get out of the mammogram room by claiming it was all a terrible mistake.  It was a ridiculous scene and I’m still trying to forget it.  But I now realize why they torture people to jog their memory.

None of this matters of course, because, as I said, I’m no longer blogging because I’m now pretending to exercise full-time.  What I’m actually doing here today is some more movie reviews. 

The Other Bolelyn Girl –  In this movie Natalie Portman makes a terrible face when she’s getting raped by King Henry VIII.  It’s a borderline juicy movie, but I did, I’m sorry to say, laugh out loud at Natalie at a very inappropriate time.  She looked a tiny bit like Glenn Close there for a second in Fatal Attraction.  It made it hard for me to feel sorry for her even though she was being raped by a king.  Other than that, the movie was quite good.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day – That might not actually be the correct title but this is the kind of movie that makes you feel like a horribly cynical person if, by chance, you find yourself sitting there not enjoying it.  The redhead who plays the lead is Sasha Cohen’s wife.  I don’t care that she calls herself Amy Adams.  She’s lying.  They’re the same person.  Anyway, she’s really cute in the movie.  So cute that I predict people will start to cheat on their boyfriends a lot more often, just for fun, and dye their hair red.

The Carpetbaggers- This is an old one from the sixties.  It’s based on a Harold Robbins novel.  See if you can get it on Netflix.  The fight scene is hysterical.  I actually made Dan get out of the shower to see George Peppard jumping into the air backwards as he got punched.  You won’t regret renting it, I swear.  There are some other funny scenes too, but I can’t remember any of them.
