etc.

The Purge of Friday Afternoon started in good earnest but ground to a premature halt on account of The Worst Allergy Attack of All Time. It was terrible, I can’t remember ever sneezing that much in such a short time span. Ever. Sad that I have to take an antihistamine to clean this house. Sad and ridiculous.

But, whatever. Let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s talk, instead, about the films we’ve watched lately.

• The World According to Bush ****
• The Matador ***1/2
• Goodnight, and Good Luck ****
• Over the Hedge ***
• Lady in the Water **1/2
• Proof ***
• Fear **
• Monster-in-Law **

Two trips to the theatre in this batch, for Over the Hedge and Lady in the Water, neither of which were particularly good or recommended. The Matador was oddly entertaining, Goodnight, and Good Luck and The World According to Bush were brilliant, and the rest I barely remember. This weekend has been about The Alien Quadrilogy, which we own and which we’ve watched countless times before, I can never get enough of all four of those films.

Updated later: I almost forgot that we rented Final Destination 3 on Friday night. A fabulous dead-teenager-movie! Three stars.
