Christmas Time in South Park

Watched: 11/24/07
With: Tracy
Year: 2000
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: Despite the disc being unplayable halfway through, some of these episodes were hilarious. Classic South Park and an episode where Kenny does not get killed.
Watch again?: yes
Recommend?: yes

Saturday Night Live: The Best of Steve Martin

Watched: 11/23/07
With: myself
Year: 2000
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: Some funny skits. I had not seen some of the earlier ones thanks to me being so young. The earlier SNL skits seem to be more funnier and enjoyable than ones in recent years.
Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: maybe

West Side Story

Watched: 11/21/07
With: myself
Year: 1961
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: The story was predictable and like a lot of musicals, unrealistic in parts. As for a musical, I really wish that the actors that were casted could really sing. The singing to me was horrible by everyone but the character who played Maria (Natalie Wood). With all the prancing and dancing, I could not believe that these were two tough groups in NYC.
Watch again?: no
Recommend?: only for the die hard musical lovers out there

With: myself

Watch again?: probably
Recommend?: maybe

Mr. Brooks

Watched: 11/9/07
With: Tracy
Year: 2007
Reason for watching: Netflix
Opinion: A much better movie than I had thought it would be. Some more editing could have been done. One major question I had is how come no one else hears Kevin's character when he's talking to one other character?
Watch again?: maybe
