QotD: Fall Films

This will actually be a really good place to make a list, for reference. Here’s my list, and whether I think I’ll see it in the theatre or Netflix it.

This list is also roughly in the order of how much I’m looking forward to them, from highest to lowest.

Sweeney Todd – Theatre
The Darjeeling Limited – Theatre
Dan in Real Life – Theatre
Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium – Theatre
Margot at the Wedding – Theatre
The Jane Austen Book Club – Netflix
Grace is Gone – Probably Netflix?
Lars and the Real Girl – Netflix
Leatherheads – Theater
August Rush – Depends on reviews
Lust, Caution – Probably Theatre
Bee Movie – Netflix
Starting Out in the Evening – Netflix?
December Boys – Netflix

Jury’s still out on: PS I Love You; National Treasure: Book of Secrets; Persepolis; Walk Hard; Atonement; Juno

Some of these are being released in December, which to me is winter, but they were in the Fall Movie Preview that Entertainment Weekly sent me.

Monsoon Wedding

After loving The Namesake (the book and the movie), I wanted to watch Monsoon Wedding, another film by The Namesake’s director Mira Nair.

This movie was incredible. So beautiful and charming. So much life and spirit in the story and the characters; it’s a joy to watch. Lately I’ve developed a great appreciation for books and movies centering around Indian and Indian-American culture.

Just added several move Mira Nair films to my netflix queue.

I love rainy weekend days sitting on my bed with all the books and magazines and movies I want to attend to stacked high all around me. I may not get to all of them, but it’s nice to have them there.
