Oh yeah, I watched some movies!

On Friday while my fiance was in a food coma I watched a couple of movies.

I think my heart is still a flutter for Liza Minelli after watching Cabaret this past weekend. A few things: 1. I may have to chop off all my hair and start exclusively wearing fake eyelashes, red lipstick and blue eyeshadow, 2. Liza Minelli was so so fabulous in the 70s, 3. I really hope they create an Arrested Development movie as rumored and I REALLY hope Liza is in it as New Lucille and 4. I'm really in love with Bob Fosse and vaudeville theater in general. I would argue, however, that this movie is a bit longer than I would have liked and I found myself losing interest towards the end. Anyway, 4/5.

On a completely non sexy side of the film spectrum, I also watched Ratatouille and found it to be absolutely adorable, although it was very weird to hear Patton Oswalt as the voice for Remy because his standup is not exactly child friendly. Our feminist audience will love Collette's (voice by Janeane Garofalo) rant about how hard she worked to be the only woman in the kitchen and an amazing female chef in the male dominated world known as French cuisine. As far as Disney movies go, I would rank this as a lot of fun, but definitely not one of my favorites so I'll give it a 3.8/5
