I am a huge movies fan. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don’t get much free time to enjoy watching movies. But when I do, I try to share my thoughts about the movies that I’ve seen. Movie reviews, celebrity news, trailers of upcoming flicks, etc – are all in this category.
Watching a lot of movies (as I do) can really pay off when identying them in the parodies. Today I had a lot of fun picking and guessing bits and pieces in “Undercover Brother” which references, spoofs, and features well over 60 films.
IMDB rating: 6.0
My rating: 6.0
Celebrity highlights: plenty of familiar faces that don’t bring back any memories of names. Except, of course, for the brief appearence of James Brown.

IMDB rating: 5.8
My rating: 6.5
Celebrity highlights: none.

For the third day in a row I can’t get off the Kill Bill: Volume 1 [Soundtrack]. I am usually not that much into music, but this time I simply can’t stop. And the strange thing is that I liked the Vol.2 movie more than Vol.1 .
All of the compositions on the disk are excellent but these are giving me the most pleasure: “Bang Bang” by Nancy Sinatra, “The Grand Duel” by Luis Bacalov, “Twisted Nerve” by Bernard Herrmann, “Green Hornet” by Al Hirt, “Battle Without Honor Or Humanity” by Tomoyasu Hotei, and “Woo Hoo” by The 5.6.7.8’s.
