Swing... and a miss

The other night I rented a couple of movies. First off was the "Hudsucker Proxy" which stars Paul Newman and Tim Robbins and is an old Cohen Brother's Film. It's an old classic about the guy who invented the Hula Hoop (tm). It's pretty good. I suggest you all see it at sometime.

2nd on the list was "The Triplets of Belleville". I am still debating weather I should go ask for my money back. I sat there for 50 minutes and watched as NO ONE said a single word. Then in the 20 minutes before I turned it off I sat there as the director proceeded to not-too-subtly bash Americans. So being as 1. no one was saying anything and 2. I was being mad fun of, I turned it off and will never look back. I might even have second thoughts about the Song that goes with it. (But I doubt it) Suggestion: Don't waste your time AND money.

3rd movie was "Fog of War". It was a documentary/ interview with Robert Macnamara who was the Secretary of Defense in the 60's. It was very good. I would suggest ALL US History teachers show it to their classes. I highly reccomend it to everyone. You'll learn a thing or two I think.

That was my weekend movie expirence, oh yeah aside from 30 minutes of the movie "Cats and Dogs" (don't bother), and assorted Futurama episodes. I think tomorrow might be time for Ben to whip out the old Pen and Parchment and do some writing.
