netflix weekend

I finally have some good work news to share... I got a raise! WOOT. It's not much (6%) but anything is better than nothing, especially with the wedding coming up. I wasn't even expecting it, so YAY.

Watched a few movies this weekend...

Bourne Ultimatum
Love Matt Damon. Love the Bourne series. Good, solid fun. I love the way this movie takes off and doesn't let up until the end... the quick editing and fast-paced shooting style definitely contributes to the thrill of the story. Recommended.

American Gangster
Another solid movie. But it was a tad too long. I got distracted a few times. At the same time, though, I thought that the collaboration between Frank and Richie came too soon. It just seemed like there was so much time spent establishing the players and the setting but when it was time for the resolution, the story became rushed. I'd still recommend the movie, particularly because Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington deliver strong performances.

Two Days in Paris
Ok, I rented this movie because it's set in Paris and I'm obsessed with the city. So sue me. :P I wanted to love this movie but didn't. :/ After a "romantic" trip to Italy, Marion (Julie Delpy) and Jack (Adam Goldberg) stop in Paris for 2 days to visit Marion's parents before returning home to New York. While there, they deal with culture shock and Marion's romantic past. The dialogue is snappy and witty but I just didn't find it very funny. I guess I'd recommend it with reservations.

Haven't done this in awhile... the Fannish Five...
What were your five favorite series finales? This could be a TV series finale, the end of a series of books or a comics run, or the finish of any other serial media.

1. Dawson's Creek. Just a roller coaster of emotions from Jen's death to Pacey and Joey's reunion. And I love every minute of it.
2. Everwood. Ephram and Amy!
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. A beautiful culmination to a very special series.
4. Sex and the City. I'm looking forward to the movie!
5. The OC. I love the sneak peeks we got to each character's future.

Hope everyone has a good week!
