It's not a habit for me to go out to the beach or to the mountains during Holy Week. Instead, like a lot of people who don't walk barefoot from Mandaluyong to Antipolo, engage in self-flagellation, or joing parish procession, I stay home and watch DVDs. Aside from the NBA and The Simpsons DVDs that I've seen recently, here are some others which I have watched during the break:
Bottle Rocket - One of Owen and Luke Wilson's earliest works about an inept group of wanna-be criminals trying to pull off a grand heist. Fairly entertaining. I don't think anybody would learn anything new from here. Pretty normal screwball comedy. Thanks to Zsazsa for lending!
The Princess Bride - Something old yet something new. Way before Shrek, came this fresh twist of fantasy about lost loves and daring (and unconventional) rescues. Special participation from Andre the Giant. Starring pre-"Men in Tights" Cary Elwes and pre-"Mrs. Penn" Robin Wright.
Munich - You'd think the break is also about giving your brain a break from thinking as well. But I watched Munich anyway. It's a movie about retaliation against the group Black September who was responsible for the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre. The message is pretty clear for anyone who watches the movie. Still, I could've watched a movie that was a lot easier to digest.
Still on the To-Watch List:
Goal!, Crash, Capote
