That's a Bit Theatrical

I guess leaving the country is a good excuse to watch an excessive amount of TV. 
Usually my time wasters are blogs, pinterest, and stalking...on Facebook of course.
Anywho, here are some of my more recent discoveries:

1. The newest Batman (I don't even know its name). 
I haven't seen the first two and yet I still understood what was going on. That's a sure sign that this movie is surviving purely on action and special effects.
Great, but like any other superhero movie.

2. Paris When it Sizzles
Every Audrey Hepburn movie is fantastic, right?
Well....this one was a bit different.
It was cheesy and weird, but I think they meant to do that. 
Why, I don't know.

3. The Man Who Knew Too Little
For any Pink Panther, Johnny English, Get Smart, etc fans.
In runs right with the whole clutzy guy solves the mystery and saves the day plot.
But with Bill Murray.
And the guy who plays Peter in While You Were Sleeping.

4. The Secret of Kells
Like any good artsy fartsy student who just returned from a study abroad to the British Isles, going to the foreign film was a must. Especially since this is based off of some Irish history.
I liked it so much, I'm going to share a trailer:


Ok, so the trailer is kind of weird, but this movie is incredible!
After you got use to the animation, the design was amazing and I love the story line.
It's not completely historical (if you watched the trailer, I'm pretty sure I could have left that comment out), but it is based on some facts about the Book of Kells.
Which I almost saw.
Almost.

5. Biezly and Goddfried
This was a play performed on campus and was written by one of the professors at BYU-I.
That being said, you probably will never get the chance to see it.
But it was great!
It was a mind churner which drew in and repulse the audience at the same time.
And I knew of half the cast.
I guess those theater folk and English majors run into each other a lot.

  1. I'm totally looking up that Secret of Kells film now.
    The music alone got me excited.
