Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to watch a movie, but nevertheless, there’s a movie to watch. When this happens, I don’t give it the full attention it deserves. This was one such movie. To be honest, though, I don’t think I would’ve liked it had I paid attention. It was just too sappy. I was on the fence about watching it to begin with, but I like to go on the fence every once in a while because sometimes I end up watching a really good movie that I wouldn’t have watched otherwise. This was not one of those times.
dark ages
My dishwasher died yesterday. I’m so sad. 🙁 Not only that, but my stove’s been iffy so I ordered a new one on Saturday. I’m not sure who’s paying for all of this, but thank goodness for Home Depot financing. To add insult to injury, Home Depot had exactly zero dishwashers in stock (everything there is apparently a floor model) so I’m not even getting a new dishwasher (besides Brian) until November 30. This year, I’m thankful that I’m not hosting Thanksgiving dinner. I’ll be even more thankful if the refrigerator lasts the year.

This movie was billed as a black comedy (which I do not enjoy), but it was done in a mockumentary style (which I do enjoy). It told the real-life story of Bernie Tiede, a man who was convicted of murdering a wealthy 81 year-old widow with whom he was friends. The film was pretty amusing but not laugh out loud funny, as is usually the case with a mockumentary. Overall, I recommend it if you’re into this sort of thing (Jake liked it, too, for that matter).
die hard
Somehow I managed to get through life (until last night) without seeing this movie. I’m not sure why I never watched it before. At any rate, it was pretty good for an action movie–not much to think about while watching this one, though.
dexter: season 6: disc 2
This is an open letter to whoever (I say ‘whoever’ because apparently Netflix only has one copy of this disc for the entire United States) has had Dexter: Season 6: Disc 2 out for the past 6+ weeks: Please return it to Netflix, so I can watch it. Kthx.
