Sometimes I think my movie tastes are very shallow. Well, I used to like the deep meaningful movies and some of my favorites include The Fisher King and Dead Poets Society. But also among my favorites are Joe Vs. the Volcano (which I think is, actually, quite deep if you get it) and The Princess Bride.
Since there has been hardly anything to watch on TV lately, I have been going through the Dish Network HD channels and recording various shows. I recorded and, mostly, watched Original Sin with Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas. I didn’t like it. It was one of those relationship shows that settles wrong with me. I’d rather watch a fun chick flick like 50 First Dates. Now that was a cute show.
I also don’t really care for the mainstream movies that get the Oscar Awards. Brokeback Mountain was pretty good, but mostly because of the subject, not necessarily the story line. If I want to see people in rotten relationships, drug addictions, or other miserable lives, I have only to watch the nightly news, read the paper, or drive downtown. When I watch a TV Show or a movie, I want a light happy comedy with a happy ending.
I have been also enjoying Netflix (see my sidebar for movies I’m watching) and I watched Hellboy last night. I was entertained. 
It wasn’t my most favorite, but it was a lot more enjoyable than Original Sin!
So maybe I’m shallow in my movie watching anymore. Give me a good, cheesy action adventure any day as opposed to a show about a relationship gone bad or people cheating on each other. I do enjoy movies and TV I guess I need my own home theater popcorn machines to go with my show watching.
Psych and Monk and Stargate Atlantis have been keeping me entertained during the Writer’s Strike. But they are ending now… I’ve been watching Terminator, the Sara Connor Chronicles, which im enjoying. I hope Heroes comes back soon. And my cousin has introduced me to Anime, so I’m getting some Anime on Netflix too.
Ahh.. I just enjoy a good story. Or even just a cheesy story.

I am not much of a go to the movies guy myself. My tastes vary. But a good laughing movie is nice to relax with. I still think one of the funniest movies of all time is What’s Up Doc with Barbar Streisand. I like old movies like those with Bogie and Becall.
And of course Clint Eastwood.
Nothing better than Outlaw Josey Wales. “Are you boys going to pull those pistols or whistle dixie?” I think I can quote most of that movie. But if you really want cheesy watch the old spaghette westerns with Clint Eastwood. My boys were rolling on the floor with laughter because the lines were so bad.
One of my very favorite movies is Oh Brother Were Art Thou

I haven’t watched a Clint Eastwood show in a long time, I will have to check them out again. I used to enjoy them back in the day…
