1950: All Done.

Before we begin, we would just like to apologize on behalf of blogger.com for not letting some of you post comments. We love hearing from anyone and everyone, so if it doesn't let you one night, try try try again! We have faith that the system will work eventually. But don't give up!

Now onto business. We only had to watch one movie from 1950, which was fine by us, considering it wasn't a very strong year for films (as reaffirmed by mother). As you read from last post, we very much enjoyed the Best Picture from this year, All About Eve. The movie we watched was a cute and just a little bit kooky film titled Harvey. Let's move quickly through the plot details, and if you've never seen the film before, I am not making this up. The movie stars good ole nice guy James Stewart, who plays this guy who is a fan of the drink, and who also happens to have an invisible 6 foot rabbit friend named Harvey. Basically Harvey goes with him wherever he goes, but that's mainly local bars. James Stewart pretty much talks to everyone he comes across throughout the film, introducing them to Harvey, gives them his "card", and invites them over to his house for dinner. His sister is pretty much ashamed of him and tries to have him committed into a mental institution. Lots of craziness ensues, and I won't give away anything else, except that James Stewart would like you over his house for dinner. Tomorrow night sound good?

Kim, who as we know has seen this movie before, has decided this is her new favorite movie. She believes everyone at some point in their lives should watch this film. As much as she liked All About Eve, she definitely liked Harvey more.

For me, however, the jury is still out. I enjoyed Harvey, thought it very cute and funny and had a nice message. But I'm not sure, after first viewing, that I can get past the ridiculous premise of this movie. It was certainly well acted and James Stewart could have gotten me over to dinner in 2 seconds, but for the most part, when I was watching this film, I was like, "are you serious?" pretty much over and over again. It's a close call in my book, but I am going to have to swing the other way and put my vote down for All About Eve this year. (Sorry honey!)

We've picked our next year - and I can happily announce that I did not pass and Kim picked a movie she's never seen (sort of....) We'll post back soon!
