Call me old-fashioned but sometimes I prefer to hang out in a video store browsing the selection of movies instead of reading reviews and renting online. I often stop by Scarecrow video store in Seattle and browse their great collection of international movies (best you can find around here). You will find classic movies here that you can't get from Blockbuster or Netflix. The first stop is of course the British movie section. This weekend I dropped in and found a few titles that cheered me up:
1) Green Wing second series and special, not as funny as the first series but still very amusing, you've got to love the cast
2) The Front with Woody Allen is about McCarthyism in entertainment industry in 40-50s with a comedy twist expected from any movie with Woody in it. Interesting and funny but sad especially when a “Information Freedom” agent is threatening one of the actors to spy on a director suspected of communist connections and says “ we are in a war Mr Brown, against a ruthless and tricky enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy our way of life…to be a spy on the side of freedom is an honor”...sounds familiar?…..Good movie to watch....
3) Revolver, last Guy Ritchie’s movie…excited to finally find a copy (Neither of Netflix nor Blockbuster has it yet). I yet have to watch it…….
