My Weekend in Movies

Friday

The Mentalist (2008 - present)

via The Mentalist Wiki

What can I say? We love the Mentalist.


Bottom line: Fantastic show. I adore all of the main characters. Watch it.

Saturday

The Frank Sinatra Spectacular (1965)

Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and Johnny Carson via The Daily Caller
I discovered this event about a year ago. Since then I've watched it on YouTube too many times to count. Last week it was taken down. I nearly died. I had been planning to purchase it on DVD and now I was forced to. It finally arrived on Saturday, so I put in on right away. Absolutely delightful. Johnny Carson hosted as these three sang and joked. They each had a turn on stage alone and then together.

There is a clip of the end of the show for you. If you like these guys at all I would recommend watching the whole show. It gives you a great feel for their friendships and humor. It's just so good! Someone else put the show up so you can watch it here.


Bottom line: I won't be surprised if I wear this DVD out. I'm so glad I bought it. I don't know how you could be disappointed in such a concert!


The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show (1965 - 1974)

This is humor at it's finest. I love variety shows! I think my favorite thing to see is when Dean starts laughing and he can't stop. 




Bottom line: Hilarious. Get on YouTube and watch some more. What a fun way to spend your time. Grab a friend and then you can quote them later to each other.

My Weekend in Movies... kinda.

Well this is going to be an odd post because I didn't watch any movies this weekend.

Kristi and I watched hours of The Mentalist.

via mentalist.informe.com

I admit I am a bit obsessed (and I've rubbed off on Kristi). Honestly I think it's the best crime/mystery TV show ever. Really, I love it.

I own seasons 1 - 3 and Kristi has been working her way through them. Possibly after this week we'll go back to watching movies on the weekend.

My Weekend in Movies


Friday


Home Alone 2: Lost in New York City (1992)

Hilarious movie. They did a great job on this sequel. I wanted it with Kristi and my sister Heather. We laughed and laughed!


Bottom line: Funny stuff. A great holiday fun movie!


The Mentalist (2008 - present)

Okay so I knows it's not a movie, but we watched several episodes and it was on DVD so I figure it counts. I think this is the best crime/mystery series on tv. It's my very favorite.


Bottom Line: Amazing. Witty. Hilarious. Full of drama. Great story. Wonderful characters. Perfect cast. I love it! You should watch it.


Saturday Night


John Muir in the New World (2011)

I watched this while I fixed my wool socks (sometimes I just can't believe how cool I am). This was great. I think John Muir is an American hero. Everyone ought to know about him. He was very influential in saving many of our natural and national treasures.


Bottom Line: If you like American history it's wonderful. A great documentary. Watch it! PBS rocks!

The Misfits (1961)

 My first time watching this film! I was very happy to find it playing on TCM. My goodness, what a film! If you doubt Marilyn Monroe as an actress, this film ought to change your mind!


Bottom Line: A fantastic movie. Well worth your time. I'll probably buy it sometime.

The Mentalist (2008 - present)

See above.

Sunday

Little Women (1933)

poster via moviepostershop

The best version of Little Women as far as I'm concerned. Everytime I read the books I picture these characters just as they are played in this movie. Katharine Hepburn is the perfect Jo. I just adore this story. It speaks to my heart.


Bottom Line: Every girl ought to know this story. It's so lovely and perfect.


The Muppet Show (1967 - 1981)

Gene Kelly and Muppets via MuppetWiki

So fun! We watched an episode with Gene Kelly and then one with Julie Andrews. Delightful. This sort of entertainment is only to be found in recordings of the past.


Bottom Line: The Muppet Show is great! Should be a family favorite. Watch it with anyone who loves real, solid entertainment.
