Last night I finally took the plunge and rearranged my computer set up, meaning I can now watch movies on my television! No more squinting at a tiny screen for me! So I celebrated by watching some movies and it was glorious.
The Fountain
I had heard a lot about this film and I was waiting for a big screen to watch it on, as the cinematography was said to be absolutely gorgeous. It paid off because I really enjoyed it. It took me quite a while to get into it, as I didn't really know what was going on but once I had worked it out the film proved to be really thought provoking as well as beautiful. Great performance by Hugh Jackman as well.
8/10
Then after a movie as heavy as
The Fountain I wanted something a bit more lighthearted so I finally got around to watching
The Muppets. It was so much fun, brilliant songs and such a love letter to the characters that I loved as a kid. I was smiling the whole way through, looking forward to a sequel! Now I have the first three
Indiana Jones films lined up for tonight and
The Thin Red Line.
