TV show #9: 30 Days

Morgan Spurlock started to bank on his Supersize Me success by way of appearances. Then he struck the FX jackpot with his show, 30 Days, which followed the concept of doing something for 30 days that differs from what a person is accustomed to doing. And it's not always Morgan and his annoying girlfriend/fiancee/wife, Alex. Whooops, did I just dis someone I've never met? Oh well.

I remember the first episode -- Morgan and Alex lived on minimum wage. It was excellent. The later episodes of the first season focused on other individuals. The show's in its third season, and I just watched the most recent episode, wherein he, Morgan, lives on a Navajo reservation for 30 days.

Most of the episodes are more ... whats the word? Contrary to how a person lives his or her life. One episode brought a Christian into a Muslim home. That was interesting.

I honestly don't think enough people read my blog for them to care that I copied and pasted.

Film #12: I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With

I wasn't sure if this movie was a documentary or feature film when I saw the preview/commercial ... but I knew I wanted to see it just based on the title.

I...
~ like Sarah Silverman, but only when she's in someone else's stuff.

~ love that it's set in Chicago. Includes architecture notes and references to Second City. Well, James is IN Second City.
"This is Chicago, my friend. It's not New York. It's not L.A. You can't be picky." (Great scene between James (Jeff Garlin) and his agent, Herb (Richard Kind)!)

~Dakota Fanning's little sister played James's fake niece, Penelope. Cute.
~always loved Bonnie Hunt.
~Amy Sedaris plays the school psychologist. Weird.

BUT

I thought the end was kinda strange. I got it, but didn't really like it that much.

3/5 stars
