I think I'm going to see how far I can do take the double feature thing. I'm really enjoying a couple of cups of hot cocoa and a pair of movies to cap off the evening.

Tonight's double feature:

White Dog

and The Gauntlet.

The Mist is a King adaptation but the ending is very, very different. I think the film does a better job bringing out the dynamism of its protagonists and antagonists better than King is capable of doing in print form.

Tonight's a triple feature evening:

Tropic Thunder

Smokey & The Bandit

and

The Story of O

Just saw "Australia". I was disappointed. In my opinion, Nichole Kidman was the wrong actress for the part. My attention kept wandering; not really interested one minute and then the movie would pick up for a while. Scenery was magnificent. I understand cattle mustering and droving and I also understand about the country people and the aboriginal people. I won't go into it here, but I spent quite a bit of time saying Bullsh*t. Most city folk probably wouldn't pick up on the things many country folk know about.Some people actually clapped at the end of the movie. I think this could have been a very good movie however, ultimately, it just comes down to individual knowledge. The filming was very good as were many of the scenes.I hope we will hear from other saloonies when/if they see the film.

I'm avoiding it like the plague.

It surely falls into stereotypes and anything with Nicole Kidman just makes me  aaaaaaaaaa

Watched 'Million Dollar baby' again. It is still a brilliant movie.  So many more issues to discuss with students every time I watch it.

Followed it with "Best TV ads"  A history of ads  - absolutely fascinating!!

Tonight's double feature*

Tiger on Beat

and

Tiger on Beat 2**

* - on a single disc! I only have to get out of bed for a fresh pint. No changing discs tonight.

**Yes, "Tiger on Beat." Chow Yun-fat using a shotgun like a yo-yo, a machete like a katana, and a kung-fu chainsaw duel with Gordon Lau makes up for the awkward English title.

Good idea on the first, will pass on the second!

Wanted to do a double feature tonight but I'm too beat from Christmas shopping. It's a single feature for me, this evening: Hot Fuzz.
