I Finally Saw Swingers

This last weekend, thanks to my fiancee Heather, I finally saw the 1996 film: Swingers. Let me tell you, this film is MONEY. And of course you see the inspiration for my latest blog header. I also saw Reality Bites which I had not seen before. I didn’t like that film as much as swingers, but Heather really likes it. I also finished Jaws recently. I have no idea why I hadn’t seen that film up until this year but I am glad I finally did.

Did you live in under a rock? Are you crazy?! What do you mean you haven’t seen that? You have to see that movie!

All phrases I’m used to hearing. People think I am Mr. Movie himself. In fact, I have seen a LOT of movies. However, most of what I like is fantasy and/or science fiction and I’m not too particular about excellence. In other words, my tastes where films are concerned don’t really reflect the quality of said films. Here are some examples of films I like. Keep in mind, many of these are “A List” but many are not. In either case, I’d urge anyone who would like to understand Adam Kooyer just a little bit better to watch them.
