Movies I've watched (April 2011)
This month I am not going to write a short summary any further than what I have below. Usually I pick one or two, and I will write long blogs about some of these fims I know, because of their directors. But I wanted to say that I will be doing there listed again back by popular demand. I was sick this month and went to a film festival so the list is a little thicker than usual. Also I will leave a LINK to my blog about the festival in which I discuss several of the films from this month. There are a lot of MUST SEE's which is always a nice way to spend you free time. For those of who you don't know I am basically an insomniac who works on computers constantly writing or producing. I watch films in my downtown and watch films I have seen while working. Letting them run in the back ground, I am very hyper and can tell you the entire films so don't think I am "not really watching these". I am. its sad... But I am addicted. For this reason if you look over my p;d lists and compare you may notice films repeat, this is because I do watch the DVDs I own especially, over and over. . Please feel free to write comments or questions. I link the films as I can to IMDB so you guys can find more details on the films.
