jetpack_monkey: (Number 6 - Can You Hear Me Now?)
I spent a good chunk of the early week bingeing What We Do in the Shadows (FX). However, this weekend [personal profile] sol_se and I settled down for a couple of DVDs.

Movies I've seen before are in italics.

Some Like It Hot (1959)
Audition (1999)
All Monsters Attack (1969)

Look, Some Like It Hot is one of the all-time great screen comedies and sol_se hadn't seen it, so that was definitely happening. I love this movie, although sol_se openly wondered how I didn't spend the entire movie cringing due to the chicanery and deception. It's easier when you've seen a movie 8-10 times.

This is my second time seeing Audition and the first in something like 15 years. I remembered certain moments with crystal clarity, but others felt new to me again and at least one moment was deeply repressed until it was too late. A very disturbing movie.

We cleansed our palate with the eminently goofy All Monsters Attack, where Godzilla's son Minya talks like an off-brand Goofy and teaches a little boy valuable lessons about violence (it's good!).
