Too damn hot and humid to go to the pool....
Movies to watch and pups to keep me company....
Watched one movie on t.v. and the other from my Netflix.
Movie: "Soylent Green"
My review: Fabulous ClassicMovie: "Last Holiday"
My review: Don't botherNow just think of all the time I've saved y'all! No standing around at the video store wondering if you should rent "Last Holiday"......no bothering to put it in your Netflix que.....
Really....it was my pleasure to perform this public service.
You can thank me later.
I give two thumbs up for your fabulous reviews!
ReplyDeleteSoylent Green....I remember this movie. I didn't know it's being shown still. I saw this movie way way back during my single years. It was a nice movie and sometimes I wish this would come true. Not that I'm being morbid or something but I find it practical.
ReplyDeleteHi! Here from Dr. John.
soylent green was a great movie..heston nad robinson..can't get much better than that...i got to watch a over 5 hour long semi chase from dallas..don't know what happened..i fell asleep....
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see Last Holiday when it was at the theater. I missed it, but I got it later from Netflix. I was SOOOOOOOO happy I didn't spend alot of $$$ going to see it, because I was disappointed too. It was blahhhhh. I agree, as always.... :)
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of either one of these movies. I am just not a movie person
ReplyDeleteI dig queen latifah though
mr fab: thank you! I consider it a public service. ;-)
ReplyDeletefriday's child: I saw Soylent Green back when if first came out too. I was really surprised to find it on Turner Classic Movies. It really makes several valid statements~especially about euthanasia.
thanks for stopping by!
yd granny: Soylent Green was a great movie.... I was excited to find it on. Hadn't heard about the semi chase...5 hours? Damn!
shpprgrl: I was that same way about Last Holiday~wanted to see it at the theater and missed it.
There you go~reading my mind again! ;-)
phats: I've been a movie person my whole life. :)
I love Queen Latifah~she's great! But any of her other movies are better than this.....
I have never seen Soylent Green but have heard a lot about it. Maybe I'll have to give it a whirl, but I'm still reeling from the original version of The Fly that I saw last weekend...
ReplyDelete"Soylent green is people!" Ahh, yes, we've heard that one before, huh? Actually... guess what? I've never seen it! I need to rent it some time. Haven't seen the Queen Latifah and after reading your review, I'll probably skip it. Thanks, Pissy!
ReplyDeleteHah! We watched Soylent Green on TCM this afternoon too. Main Man and the boys heckled through the whole show.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you wonder about the lax security in the "Top Secret" Soylent Green processing plant?
And why does everyone have sliding doors in the future? What do they know that we don't?
I wanted to see Last Holiday but when I finally got it I couldn't watch all of it. It just felt like a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteI'm thanking ya ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd really like that dress Queen Latifah's wearing in that pic. Can ya get your hands on that sucker for me?
I almost watched "Soylent Green". Was it on yesterday? I know it was on AMC sometime this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou think "Last Holiday" was bad? I watch "Deuce Bigelow-Europeon Gigelo" last night. Painful is the only way I can describe it. I didn't rent it, thank god, someone lent it to us.
I saw Last Holiday in the theater. WHAT A JOKE!!! I really only enjoyed a total of about 10 minutes. It was so slow and stupid. They could have really done a better job.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER heard of the other movie. I will have to check it out!
I watched Basic Instinct 2. Not sure what I think about it. I kept falling asleep and having to rewind. Then I totally slept through the end. By that point I said, Forget it. The movie isn't worth repeating over and over again.
I love to watch movies....Mom and I will sit here and watch one movie after another some weekends...I love Lifetime movies!! I was going to watch the last holiday on pay per view...thanks for the warning...Ill skip it now. Hows the new puppy doing???
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of either movie. But now I am made fully aware. Awareness is good!
ReplyDeleteI ahve been wanting to see Soylent Green for a long time. I hope to eventually!
ReplyDeleteAh, Soylent Green! Yummy! :) And I absolutely agree about Last Holiday. I put it on my Netflix queue because Roger Ebert raved about it...and I found it rather dull and predictable. Ah, well.
ReplyDeleteHey Pissy, maybe you could make this a series...giving us your expertise and saving us the trouble of making wrong decisions :)
Give Moose a pat from me! :)
Say what you will about Soylent Green, but it does fill you up between meals.
ReplyDelete"Soylent Green is people!!! It's PEEEEEOOOOPPPPLLLLEEE!!!"
What a great line.
Hey I heard that soylent green is people.
ReplyDeleteI love the movie Soylent Green....Edward G. Robinson's last screen performance, it was unforgettable for me.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of soylent green, but due to mass promotion from the money monsters I unfortunatly have hear of last holiday. Will have to watch soylent green, thanks.
ReplyDeleteSoylent Green I am off to the video store now...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip...
But what were you thinking with Last Holiday...
Obviously the heat has gotten to you...
Soylent Green was a great movie; it was definitely a different kind of movie, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI could have told you that.... Queen Latifah movie=Don't bother, almost every time.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThat chick has got some big...
uh..clothes.
Yes.
Have you seen Hidalgo?
I've always wanted to see Soylent Green. I'll check it out now, thanks!
ReplyDeletedramedy girl: you should watch Soylent Green~it's really pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI remember the original "the Fly"...freaked me out!!!
kc: It's kinda cheesy in a 70's sorta way....but it does have a great performance by Edward G. Robinson and some messages that are still relevant today.
library mama: I wondered the same thing at the scene in "the plant"! I was thinking: "Man, that was way too easy!"
as for the sliding doors: doorknobs are bad? ;-)
samantha: I kept watching it with a sense of morbid curiousity as to how much worse it could get....
buddha girl: you are so welcome! that is a cool dress, isn't it? She wore some beautiful clothes in the movie...
nonny: soylent green was on yesterday. on Turner Classic Movies...which I love b/c no commercials!
I am proud to say that I've never see either of the Deuce Bigalowe movies. And I plan to keep it that way!
Sunny: That's exactly what I thought about "Last Holiday"~they could have done a better job! Lots of wasted talent....
I'm not going to bother with Basic Instinct 2. I'm not a Sharon Stone fan anymore....
Pud: Soylent Green probably came out before you were born! :)
Catch: I can watch movies like that too! Especially during the winter or when my daughters are here with me!
Moose is doing great! Thanks for asking! :)
Mimi: You should watch it. It's good!
Rhys: "Dull and predictable"....exactly! If I'd been doing 3 word reviews that would've been it! I've actually done this "review" thing before. With 3 movies....just a few weeks ago. :)
I will give Moose a pat for you~he loves attention!
limpy: classic line.....I think even people who've never seen the movie have heard that line! ;-)
de: you heard right!
Jerry: He was great, wasn't he?
jmeped: you really should. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
pendullum: I was thinking: "I like Queen Latifah. I loved Beauty Shop...I should like this". That and the heat=bad combination. ;-)
thanks for stopping by!
bruce: it was great!
Justin: I loved her in that movie with Steve Martin....
hippo: yes she does!
nope, haven't seen Hidalgo. Isn't it some sort of Western?
signgurl: You should! :)
