Cal and I have recently been preferring sitting at home watching a DaViD, rather then going out to a fillum, partly because the range of fillums on offer has been uninspiring and partly because a David gives you a $2 entertainment as opposed to a $32 entertainment. Or, in the case of a borrowed David, a $0 entertainment as opposed to.
\nRecent Davids watched:
\nInto the Wild (2007)<\/a><\/em>
\nRavishing to look at. Dude abandons family, lives in a bus. Feels a bit too sure of itself for my taste, but chunks of this film have stayed with me.
\nThe Notebook (2004)<\/a><\/em>
\nPleasant love story with some effective silly weepie moments. Works entirely due the chemistry of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, of which there is plenty. Best for when you’re in a forgiving sort of mood.
\nRaising Victor Vargas (2002)<\/a><\/em>
\nNervous, sweet little film about some teenagers learning a little bit about themselves and each other while they fall in love. More subtle in its characterization than you’d expect, so it grows in the memory.
\nGreat Expectations (1998)<\/a><\/em>
\nWildly off-kilter but highly enjoyable updating of the Dickens classic, with Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow being surprisingly not annoying as director Alfonso Cuaron barely holds the film together around them.
\nBella (2006)<\/a><\/em>
\nIn New York, a chef and a newly-fired waitress engage in a sort-of romance as she comes to terms with the fact that she’s pregnant and he recalls a past mistake that haunts him. A great film, although a self-conscious one. [Cheers David for reminding me of the title for this one!]
\nIn other David news, it was announced yesterday that the patron of this blog<\/a> is engaged to be wed! Congratulations and felicitations to the happy couple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
