Nacho Libre, Lost Season 2 and an oldie



I watched Nacho Libre because after watching all that existentialist stuff at the film festival, I want to laugh. Nacho Libre was silly and fun. I enjoyed the scene where he is in the ring flapping like an eagle. There was not much deep in this movie. Watching Black jump and tumble reminded me of John Belushi, another agile "big" man. I will rate this 3/5 acorns.

While watching Lost, Season 2 I was reminded of the PC games Myst and Riven. The scene change music, the island adventure areas, and the water and mystery all added to this memory. I was very disappointed in Walt shooting Michelle Rodriguez. She needed to be shot as she was difficult to like, but still, I thought better of Walt. I was a little annoyed that food seems to rain down on the lost ones and that they have all the conforts of home in the hatch. I was also annoyed at the unaturally (at least for Hawaii) red mangos that Sawyer was picking from the bamboo forest. I could have sworn mangos grew on mango trees. I wish Sayid would stop torturing people. I mean, I know he is good at it, but hey, shouldn't he be cured by now? All and all I was still amused and intrigued. I will have to wait for Season 3 to come out.

While over at my friend's house I also get to watch oldies with her mom. Sunday we watched Roman Holiday (1953)with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. What beautiful people they both are. Life seemed so much more innocent back then. I also watched Move Over Darling (1963) with James Garner and Doris Day. It was so funny, but the other day I ate at a Vietnamese restaurant run by Japanese people, and heard Que Sera Sera in the background. How Doris Day:)
