Escapism comes in many forms, and for me recently movies have been doing the trick. Other than my normal science fiction fetish, I seem to gravitate toward 'period pieces' of any era. Why do I like period pieces? As a history aficionado, I greatly admire the research and care taken to realistically reproduce the many details that together breathe life into a slice of time from the past.
Recently I've been in a more nostalgic mood so I've been watching things like Casablanca, Out of Africa, and Atonement. For most of May though I discovered the joy of Bruce Lee and Jet Li, becoming a huge fan of these early martial arts pioneers.
Between DVDs and VOD I don't seem to go to the movie theatre as often as in the past. That's just as well, I haven't felt like going out much lately anyway, and why bother when you can access it all from the comfort of your domicile?
Today's MUCH: YES I am a Twi-hard counting down the days until Eclipse makes its debut.
Another MUCH: Looking forward to viewing M. Night Shyamalan'sThe Last Airbender....martial arts and science fiction is a unbeatable combo!
Today's SUCH: I am still waiting for Ender's Game to be made into a movie. Tick tock folks, let's get on with it!
