I finally had a chance to watch All Is Lost on Netflix today. I often watch movies that match my mood. And today, I was feeling all is lost. I’m not sure what is up with the funk I’m in. I need to work on that. All Is Lost is a man versus the sea kind of film. Literally. It’s just Robert Redford on a sinking boat trying to keep it afloat and stay alive for almost two hours. There are maybe 10 lines of dialogue in the whole thing—not that I counted. Despite the lack of talking, it was pretty compelling. But it did lose my interest a few times. Full disclosure, during those moments, I fast-forwarded…big chunks. Which is a very bad habit of mine lately. Long story short, I enjoyed it, well, at least the chunks of it I watched—the beginning, middle and end. I’m hoping my moody urge will be to watch Happy Feet tomorrow.
Until tomorrow, create from what you have…movies that fit your mood.
Might I suggest Overboard? Watched that one with the kids last night. The bathing suits alone are enough to de-funk any moody soul. And so good to see Goldie Hawn!!!
I love that movie! Haven’t seen it in forever. I will add it to my “make me happier” movie list. Thank you! 🙂
