I finally joined NetFlix even though I had a hard time finding a movie because I’ve somehow managed to see every movie ever made-at least that’s how it seemed to me when I was browsing titles available:seen it,seen it,seen it. I really wanted to see Doomsday but it isn’t out to rent,naturally or I would’ve seen it already, don’t you know.
I remembered seeing a preview for Lars and the Real Girl and that Paul Schneider had a supporting role. I’ve had a crush on him ever since All the Real Girls in which he played the guy who’d slept with everyone in town.Patricia Clarkson also starred in All the Real Girls and in Lars she plays the family doctor.I adore Patricia Clarkson,so I was already sold when I saw she was in the cast.
Ryan Gosling is the lead actor in Lars and the Real Girl and I quite liked him in Half Nelson even if the plot was excruciatingly centered around a good teacher who smokes crack.Yikes.But he is a very good actor.So I picked it and 2 days later it was in my mailbox.I had to wait until the playoffs were over so around 1:30 am I popped it into the DVD player and was pleasantly surprised. I’m not going to give the plot away because I watched this movie not knowing a thing about it and I always think that the best way to watch any film.
The other film I picked was Hannah Takes the Stairs. I’ll let you know if it’s any good.
