What I'm Watching in 2007
  • I tried to watch Requiem for a Dream. It didn't take. Maybe I needed to be stoned? (1/1/07) Grits not determined.
  • The Amazing Race, All Star Edition. Boston Rob and more passport-filling super travel! (3/3/07) 5 grits.
  • My man Edgar make it look easy on The Deadliest Catch. (6/22/07) 5 grits.
  • Army Wives makes sure I'm home on Sunday evenings. (7/12/07) 5 grits.
  • Tivo'ing Sex and the City on fourteen channels means I'm watching this show out of order. Sometimes they have a baby and sometimes they have Big. Such is life. (7/19/07) (Also, someone can please buy me that gift set for my birthday. Pretty please!)
  • Two minutes is all you need because I'm so intense. (8/14/07)

What I Watched in 2006
  • Searching for Angela Shelton (3/21/06) Innovative idea, slipshod execution. 3 grits.
  • The Prince of Tides (3/24/06) One of my alltime favorites. 4 grits.
  • Stripped (3/29/06) Boring. Could've been really interesting. Poor production quality. 2 grits.
  • Walk the Line (4/3/06) I am simultaneously enthralled and repulsed by Joaquin Phoenix. I can't figure it out. But I loved the hell out of this movie. 5 grits.
  • Happy Endings (4/3/06) The concept for this movie intrigued me, and the documentary style was well done. I'm not sure the lasting effect was there, though. 3 grits.
  • Paper Clips (3/2/9/06) This was probably an awesome idea but it was a terrible movie. 1 grit.
  • The Accidental Tourist (4/10/06) Another alltime favorite. Geena Davis' Muriel is one of my favorite Muriel's ever. 4 grits.
  • One True Thing (4/14/06) This movie is like chicken soup for me. Bill Hurt is always great. 4 grits.
  • Brokeback Mountain (4/24/06) I loved this movie for all the wrong reasons. But I don't wanna be right. 4 grits.
  • Junebug (4/26/06) It was like someone made a movie of what my life is like in an alternate universe. Amy Adams was terrific. 4 grits.
  • Capote (5/08/06) The voice thing bugged, but it was a nice complement to my long-ago obsession with the book. 3 grits.
  • Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story (5/8/06) Combined love of Bill Hurt and all things espionage led me down the path of this terrible, terrible, terrible movie. Can I give negative grits? -3 grits.
  • Hostel (5/23/06) This one was for Clue, and it has screwed up all my recommendations! NO GRITS FOR YOU!
  • Windsor Castle: A Royal Year (5/31/06) The Queen! Giving hot toddies to carolers! 4 grits.
  • Word Wars (5/31/06) I enjoyed this because I am a Scrabble freak; as a documentary, I found it useless. 2 grits.
  • Gosford Park (6/5/06) I wanted so much more out of this. The Ryan Phillippe storyline was absurd. Clive Owen was absurd but delicious. 3 grits.
  • Pride and Prejudice 2005 (6/5/06) It is a truth universally acknowledged that a perfect adaptation is not in want of a repeat. Lizzy was a limp version of herself. Darcy was a wimp. Bingley was a joke! 2 grits.
  • Match Point (6/7/06) The only Woody Allen film I'd voluntarily watch again. 4 grits.
  • Alive (6/7/06) I would rather be on the Titanic, watching Titanic, than have finished this movie. No grits.
  • Wimbledon (6/8/06) Cute and fluffy and the perfect thing to watch to be amused but not challenged. 3 grits.
  • The Terminal (6/16/06) I didn't hate it, and I laughed out loud at some of it. 3 grits.
  • Friday Night Lights (6/16/06) Excellent movie. About everyone's hometown. If your hometown is obsessed with football. Which mine kinda was. 3 grits.
  • The Master of Disguise (6/16/06) I wanted to be entertained, and Clue does this parody of the "Tuuuurtle" part and we rarely agree on movies to watch together and all of this sounds like justification for watching this movie, doesn't it? 2 grits.
  • Vanity Fair (6/16/06) Loved. Brilliant. Capital, just capital! 5 grits.
  • Nell (6/16/06) I couldn't remember whether I hated this or not. Now I remember that I do. 1 grit.
  • We Don't Live Here Anymore (6/20/06) I think the editor forgot to leave in all the character development, plot, and decent dialogue. But, you know, any reason to watch Mark Ruffalo be uncomfortable onscreen. 2 grits.
  • Bee Season (6/23/06) I turned this off about 20 minutes in. (1) I didn't get Richard Gere in this. (2) Juliette Binoche was wasted. (3) Slooooooow. 1 grit.
  • Elizabethtown (6/23/06) I didn't love it as much as I wanted to, but I still liked it an awful lot. I think the last seven minutes should've been their own movie. The portrayal of Southern life was really spot on. 4 grits.
  • The Motorcycle Diaries (6/25/06) I returned this unopened. I was in a mood. ? grits.
  • Cold Mountain (6/25/06) I do not enjoy Jude Law, or Nicole Kidman, or Natalie Portman in anything except Beautiful Girls. But I love Renee Zellweger. And Jack White. 2 grits.

It's Showtime at the Grispollo. Because I'm exhausted from people harassing me about all the movies I haven't seen.
