A review of the last week (in hell)

I hope never to experience this again. The operation went well "they" say, "they" didn't tell me anything afterwards, many phone calls later I have my next appointment with the Oncologist - April 5th, I am assuming since he doesn't want to see me until then, I don't have cancer, I. Will. Keep. Telling. Myself. That.

The support of my friends was over-whellming, flowers, magazines and a few visits. My family... Different story (the 1 subject I wont write about).

I had a fleeting thought of giving a review on all the movies I watched over the 5 days where I challenged myself to move from my bed to the lounge...

- Crappy, time wasting Johnny English
- Exciting Two Hands
- To Be And To Hold - I couldn't get into and can't find any refrence on the internet?!?!
- I could have danced all night, and still begged for more... My Fair Lady - one of my all time favourite movies
- Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 - dirty disc, therefore missed the last few chapters :-(
- How sexy is the protagonist in Auberge espagnole, L' / The Spanish Apartment!
- Gorgeous Sweet Home Alabama
- Thrilling Kiss The Girls - when the movie is better than the book
- Hilarious Dave
- Sweet Legally Blonde
- The 80's hit Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- A total waste of time, TV movie - Locusts: Day Of Destruction
- Beautiful Trois couleurs: Bleu / 3 Colours: Blue
- Radiant Trois couleurs: Blanc / 3 Colours: White
- Luminous Trois couleurs: Rouge / 3 Colours: Red
- In her Shoes that made me wish I had some relationship with my sister
- Ha! True Lies
- Quirky Elizabethtown
- Lovely Suddenly 30
- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that made me reminiscent of the French Riviera (subsequently went through all my photo albums)
- Hide and Seek - thriller that I worked out the punch a little too early in the movie to make it enjoyable
- Shi mian mai fu / The House of Flying Daggers, Monkey Magic-esque
- The Pacifier- I love Vin Diesel, such a bad actor he's good

I watched numerous episodes of Sex and the City and of course the Roosters triumph over the Raiders.

Wow! That's a lotta flicks!

hmmm yes... Johhny English could have been a decent movie but.... uuugghhh... *sigh* I'm sure you could relate to FBDO though, especially the mock convalescant scenes! An all time fave of mine that one.

Dave is great, also agree on Trois Couleurs... haven't seen it in a long while though, must do that again. True lies, well, hmmm...what can you say?? Saw Elizabethtown at the flicks, but I must say while it was moderately entertaining, it hardly rocked my world. 'Seen I Heart Huckabies? Has a similar vibe and is a better pic IMHO ;). Dirty Rotten Scoundrels I also haven't seen in a long while, but I seem to recall it was pretty funny... no comparison to Steve Martin's earlier work though!

Anyhoo, hope all's well. :)

Glad you're OK. Sweet Home Alabama is a gerat movie (God i'm soppy) and I lovethe wave of Chinese Movies Crouching Tiger, Hero and Daggers...more for the cinematography and backgrounds than anything else. Did you get the three colour series on DVD? and I was surprised that I actually liked 'Elizabethtown' because I hate her. My LLs and I loved the Pacifier. Hope you continue to get better...The cult needs you ~grin~

Hi Nat, I'm glad to see you're back in the blogsphere, and that you've been keeping the local video shop in coin.

Keep on convalescing. *hugs* (gentle hugs)
