#85- Duck Soup

Welp. I was excited for this one because it's so classic, and remember the first time I saw it I really enjoyed it. But it was....meh. DON'T HATE ME. I was tired, which may have affected my entertain-ability, but Duck Soup was not that great. Maybe because it had such a thin plot. Maybe because I only like Harpo. Maybe because the grande dame of the film was annoying. Who knows! I would still say go see it, but I definitely prefer Day at the Races to Duck Soup. They seem to be having more fun in that one, ya know?

#86- Mutiny on the Bounty

This movie was incredibly horrifying. But in the way I like- a lot of the kind of injustice that can only be found in history. Well, that's debatable, but still! Injustice! Intrigue! Whipping-a-dead-man-kind-of-torture!

The movie begins with common men that are frequenting a bar. In barge some officers of the British Navy and there you are! Two years of their lives are now at the disposal of the British Navy, doomed to sail across the world, praying that they might once again see their homes before they die. But, as if that were not bad enough, the man who captains their ship is the most black hearted, cruel, and selfish man to ever captain a ship. Wait.... that's Black Beard. Well ok then, this guy is runner up.

In this movie you can enjoy the beauty and fiery temper of a young and smoldering Clark Gable, as well as the satisfying hatred of the deceased and evil. Did I mention it's based off a true story? There is injustice, hatred, rebellion- the works. Watch it if you are in a pirate-y mood!
