movies you watched today

[RICHARD]

Just rewatched "Long Way Round" and saw the end of "Long Way Down".


Two documentaries about Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman - both actors - taking two motocycle trips.

The LWR was about a ride from Scotland to New York, going east.

The LWD ride went from Scotland down thru Africa to the very southern tip of the continent.

If you know anyone who rides/rode a bike or loves to travel? They probably will enjoy them.

I rate it... one toe up!

Y&R wasn't on today, I feel the need to watch that silly soap for so many reasons. Well as I said it wasn't on so I watched Harold and Maude. Gotta be the best movie, ranks right up there anyhow.

I just finished watching Season 1, 13 episodes of House of Cards on Netflix. It kept my attention and I couldnt wait to get to the next episode. It takes place in Washington, DC and the main character is a congressman who will do about anything to get what he wants. The series has corruption, sex, lies, blackmail (what I imagine D.C. to be), and Kevin Spacey plays the congressman and is the main character. As Season 1 ended, the congressman has just been asked to be vice president (he planned, lied, blackmailed and worked hard to get it). He is a very good actor and I totally enjoyed it. Guess I'll have to wait a year before Season 2.

FLIGHT: I watched Flight last night with Denzel Washington who is a very good actor. He plays the alcoholic pilot of a passenger plane that he manages somehow to land when it develops trouble. It was very scarey when the plane starts on a steep dive and then he turns it upside down to stop the dive. At first he is a hero but then we learn (we knew) his lab results show cocaine and alcohol. (He has an ex-wife and a son who want nothing to do with him) The rest of the movie after the crash landing is his denial and how his lawyer and also a union rep try to keep it under control... but he wants his alcohol and cocaine and refuses for a loooong time to admit he has a problem. I will not tell you the ending but it is appropriate in my opinion. I recommend FLIGHT.
