No Time for Sergeants

July 4, 2012

In honor of the passing of Andy Griffiths yesterday,  we decided to watch “No Time for Sergeants” on Amazon Instant Video. (Also available on Netflix DVD)

What a great movie. We laughed for almost the entire two hours. Andy Griffith plays the role of a country bumpkin drafted into the USAF. He manages to drive his sergeant crazy.

Don Knotts plays the part of a corporal whose job it is to test the recruits on manual dexterity. By the way, this was Don Knotts’ film debut.

In this film you can see the seeds of future characters like Gomer Pyle. And Jamie Farr has a bit part as the copilot on the training flight.

This was a film well worth seeing.

Ted

July 1, 2012

Okay, what do you do when it’s hot outside and you don’t have AC? You go to the movies, of course. Paula and I took a ride down to Meredith to see Seth McFarland’s movie “Ted”.

Well worth the $12 for the two of us. BTW, matinees are generally cheap.

This was a movie of absolutely no social import, but it was funny. Seth MacFarland is the creator of “The Family Guy” on the Fox Channel. If a lot of foul language bother you, you shouldn’t see this movie.

The film was filmed in and around Boston. Lots of external shots of Boston landmarks. I kept wondering how Matt Damon’s character always managed to find a parking spot. Incredible.

Also, there a climax scene shot inside Fenway Park. I kept wondering how they managed to get inside the park and the lights just happened to be on. Never mind, just clear your mind and just accept that it was movie magic.

We then had a nice lunch at “The Mug” in Center Harbor. Next movie that Paula wants to see is “Magic Mike“. Probably a good movie for “Girls Nite Out”. Reviews say that Matthew McConaughey does an excellent job. We’ll probably do this one then I’ll drag her to Prometheus.
