You know what they say: "Better almost never, than actually never."
And with that GLORIOUS opening sentence, I am going to move right into the month in review.
May was a pretty cool month. I had a rather late start (I had only watched three films before the 19th), but eventually ended with a not really respectable 15 (June WILL be better. ;-D). And I can't really blame Doctor Who this time, because I have watched very little (I'M AVOIDING THE END OF TEN BECAUSE I WILL THEN HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR).
May: 7 new films/16 total
My Favorite New Film:
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. This movie is perfection and genius and, oddly enough, also Millieness personified. Can I just take this moment to recommend it to everyone -- everywhere.
My Least Favorite New Film:
This was a pretty awesome month with no 1 or 2 starred reviews, so I'm gonna have to go with the three starred Endless Night. Hayley was utterly perfect and Agatha Christie GETS ME EVERY BLOODY TIME, but I cannot handle watching Hywel Bennett. As I mentioned on the 2011 in Film page (where you will always find a short one or two sentence review for every new-to-me film), his late '90s power-mom hairstyle was really creeping me out. ;-D
Unfortunately, this photo doesn't give it NEARLY full justice:
Best Movie Title:
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. There was no contest.
Best Cast:
Love is a Ball: Charles Boyer, Glenn Ford, Hope Lange, Ricard Montalban...(any film with Charles Boyer will always win Best Cast).
Worst Cast:
Hmmm, there wasn't really a bad cast. But, I will take this moment to once again condemn Hywel Bennett and his haircut. ;-D
Best Title Song:
Goodbye Charlie. It's such a lovely, cheerful song about the main character's violent death.
Runner up: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (which I may or may not have gone to the midnight premiere of, because I'm a dork). THE PIRATE'S MUSIC ALWAYS WINS.
Most Horribly, Depressing Ending:
Edward Scissorhands. WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! I mean, I understand why. BUT WHHHHYYYY?! Was this just so I would cry thousands of tears? ;-D
Most Viewed Actors:
Bob Hope: 3
Vincent Price: 2
Michael Callan 2
Johnny Depp: 2

Ha! Glad to see that Bob Hope topped the list! :)
hahahahahahaha OH MY GOSH his hair!!!! WOW. haha!!! Especially in the second photo.. the first one didn't capture the brushed-out featheryness enough. haha seriously WOW..
Hey btw me & casey went halfers on getting a new Hayley movie that we haven't seen before from 1967 ALSO WITH TREVOR HOWARD (ahh) and we're going to nf-flix copies to everyone to watch for a chat! :D Hopefully it will be much better than this Hayley film (although with Trevor Howard--who has never been known to sport 90's power-mom hair-- instead of Hywel Bennett it already scores some major points in my book! ;-D)
Oh and Edward Scissorhands is fantastic, isn't it?! I love the candy colored town..
I was disappointed that nothing related to a 50 ft woman happened in about half the movie. I was waiting for it, but I guess they had to really set up what she's getting revenge for.
I think in May I also watched McLintock! I'm not a huge fan of John Wayne but it was really funny. Maureen O'Hara was great.
I saw The Fastest Gun Alive with Glenn Ford. I loved it. A good psychological western.
I think I filled out the rest with tons of Twilight Zone, Dick Van Dyke, and such.
I don't remember what else...May was like...weeeeeeeks ago...
Oh, Hywel Bennett is so adorable!! I have no problem with his hair...
Lucie: It WAS his birthday. haha
Kate: He was a like Farrah with shorter more 90sish hair. AHAHAHAHA.
OH MY GOSH. YES. YES. YES. Thank you so much. I cannot wait. Let's all PRAY that Mr. Trevor is not sporting 90s power-mom hair. My mind would need to be bleached if that occurred. ;-DD
I know! I love all the colors. And I adore the haircuts. haha
Ben: Yeah. That's true. Her rampage was quite short-lived (and disappointingly did not involve the freeway...haha).
I really need to check that out. It keeps getting recommended to me on Netflix!
I'll have to check that out too. Inexplicably, I can't help but like Glenn Ford. haha
Two of my absolute favorite shows EVER.
I know. I'm late. ;-D
Grezilda: I'm glad someone can appreciate it. ;-D
Do you also watch Dick Van Dyke in the hopes that Sally will finally get a guy?
I know it probably won't happen or else they'll lose the joke, but I still keep hoping!
