I thought I'd follow Trevin's trend and post a inferior version of my own of his piece about what he has watched in the last week. Hopefully combined we can talk about quite a few movies that otherwise would not be spoken of on here. I will loosely follow the same rules he had for his, that is a 1-10 scale, etc. For me, I will include the movies I have seen in the past week as well as a bonus whatever-the-heck-I-want item, because it is whatever the heck I want. Well, here we go. 
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - This Oscar best-picture winner was very entertaining. It is mainly a guy movie as almost every single person on screen throughout the film is male. The cast includes beefcake star William Holden and the original Obi-Wan Kenobi, Alec Baldw... Alec Guinness. I am not sure if this movie would be entertaining for today's audiences but I really enjoyed it. I am a sucker for classic movies. This movie is long [At over two and a half hours] especially for back then but hey, it won seven Oscars so they did something right. It is slow for much of the movie but the last hour or so make it all worth it. If you like classics, war movies, or bridges then I recommend this movie to you.

Kick-Ass (2010) - I enjoyed this movie more than Trevin did. He says the graphic novel is better and that even that wasn't too great anyway. I say that makes him a nerdy snob. This movie was certainly entertaining and a pretty fun watch. Maybe I did enjoy it more because I haven't read the book, but based solely on entertainment value, this movie is worth it. Also, this girl is in it.

Bonus!
Red Bull - To commemorate my classes starting back up this week I chose Red Bull as my whatever-I-want item this week. I will be drinking lots of it as a result of procrastination. Yay.
