Do you believe in Serendipity? As I sit here trying to write up a review of the latest flick from my Netflix queue, I don’t know. Before sitting down, I thought that the movie stunk. If it is supposed to be a romantic comedy, there was nothing funny about it. There was really nothing romantic about it. John Cusack waits until the night of his wedding to realize that he doesn’t love his fiancee, attempts find the long lost love of his life, and dumps his fiance on the altar? Excuse me, but isn’t that the opposite of romance, but really terrible and heart breaking?

I couldn’t believe it, romance, what a lark!

But then the serendipitous moment occurred. Wasn’t yesterday Valentine’s day? I missed it again. Alone naturally. And guess who starred in the flick. Kate Beckinsale! A hottie! And guess what, there’s a nice, little, untitled post up on Capitol Swell celebrating the hotness of her. And our buddy at the seed, was inspired to do a hottie countdown/roundup from that post.

So you see how fortuitous things are. I watch a supposed romantic comedy the day after Valentine’s day alone, which starred the hottie who inspired my buddy to begin his hottie countdown!

How weird is that?

By the way, I marked the movie as 2 of 5 stars.

This is supposed to be a Netflix queue DVD review. Then, why’s it got a title referencing the VP’s accidental shooting? Well, the DVD that I saw over the weekend was Insomnia. Not the US remake, but the original Swedish (or Norwegian) film.

If you hadn’t seen it, the flick centers around an accidental shooting and cover up. Just like the VP, but someone dies. In the DVD.

I was roughly confused for the first part. I couldn’t tell Swedish from Norwegian. And that was a key part of the film. Yet, in the end I liked it.

Marked it as 3 of 5 stars. How convenient that the Netflix rating system matches my own.
