FOUR FILMS

Blockbuster has a really good deal going – all the movies you can watch for $10.00 a week. Or $15.00 if you want to watch two at a time.

So some movies in my queue:

1) “Changeling”: A single mother’s missing son is returned to her, yet she tells the LAPD he is not her child – her son was three inches taller, uncircumcised and had differently-spaced teeth. The cops have her committed.

2) “Doubt”: Meryl Streep plays a psychotic nun who has it in for a popular priest and accuses him on diddling an altar boy. Eerily reminiscent of our elementary school. Not the altar boy-diddling part, I mean the psychotic nun. And being unfairly accused.

3) “The Reader”: Thirtyish woman seduces 15-year-old boy. She is accused of a Nazi war crime she couldn’t have committed because she is illiterate, but won’t admit to it. He has never forgotten the affair and is still unable to have normal relationships with other women. Hmmm, again we have the theme of accusation as well as the preference for younger men…

4) “Bundy”: Takes me back to my days in North Central Florida, which I am convinced is what Hell is like. I think we can safely say Bundy was just plain evil, although he blamed his father for a lot of things…
