Free Time

Currently, I have more free time on my hands than any other time of my life. It is nice, but kind of weird. I have made good use of the time though. Christmas shopping, job hunting, a couple interviews, sleeping, and catching up on some movie watching. Actually, I have been almost averaging one movie a day. Here's what I have watched thus far....

  • Kill Bill 2- My favorite QT film. Well, maybe I should say the Kill Bill as a whole are my favorite QT film, because Vol 2 is only as good as it is set up to be from Vol 1. Anyway, it doesn't get much better than the fight between B and Ellle in Bud's trailer. Gives me chills.
  • Every F***ing Day of My Life (Documentary)- This is an HBO film about a women who had been the victim of domestic abuse for 20 years before killing her husband, the film is based on the 4 days of her life leading up to going to prison. Extremely sad, but very good.
  • Taken- When this movie was first coming out earlier this year, it looked pretty good, but then it got really bad reviews, so I decided I didn't want to see it. But, it has been on HBO a bunch this month so I decided to watch it. The movie is not technically good or anything, but I enjoyed it.
  • Drug Store Cowboy- A movie about drug addicts that rob pharmacies. I originally wanted to watch it because it was directed by Gus Van Sant. It was a pretty interesting movie, but I probably won't watch it again. It is one of those.
  • The Departed- When I first saw this movie, I didn't get why people were so excited about it. Since then, I have seen it a handful of times. This movie is really subtle in its awesomeness.
  • Tom Petty: Runnin Down a Dream (Documentary)- Want to watch a four hour documentary about Tom Petty? If so, then this documentary is for you. It's really good.

I think that is about it. It's been a nice break.
