Over the last few weeks my Netflix list has yielded some very good stuff. I watched Mighty Aphrodite, The Departed, and rewatched Kramer vs. Kramer.The pick of the lot for me was Mighty Aphrodite. I have a preference for goofball comedies.
Mira Sorvino is so good as the ditzy, dumb, prostitute, with a voice that grates on your ears. I loved the Greek chorus intervening at strategic moments with irreverent comments and sage advice. Plus..the scene where Tiresias tells Allen about his wife's infidelity made me laugh out loud. Yeah..I googled him. I can't help it. I Google everything.
I cried while watching K vs. K. But its freaking Meryl Streep. There's no shame in crying when its the best actress in the world doing the acting. And the kid is so darn cute. I defy any normal girl to NOT cry.
Saying Martin Scorcese makes good movies is like saying Sachin bats well. 'Nuff said about The Departed. Except that watching familiar Boston locations filmed as they have been is mildly scary.
PS: I don't know why I'm sitting through Keira Knightley's Pride and Prejudice on TV as I type this. Its the worst interpretation of P&P ever. And I've seen 4 of them. (Not including Bride and Prejudice if you please! That piece of tripe doesn't even qualify as a version of P&P.)
