First viewing - Nov. 26th Netflix seemed convinced this was my type of movie, so when I noticed it's leaving soon I figured I'd catch it while I still could. Frequencies is a very intelligent sci-fi/romance hybrid with a strong cast and intriguing story. I hate to say too much about it since I knew nothing about it beyond Netflix's brief description, so I'll keep my comments brief. Simply put, I dug everything about it & would gladly watch it again. I'm unsure whether it crossed my line of greatness, but it's safe to say it came very close if not.

Re-watch - Nov. 25th When I found out I could see this on the big screen, I knew I had to go. I think the last time I watched it was when I made the ex watch it with me, which would have been 2009 so I haven't had it in any of my journals yet (though it's appeared in other lists of mine). The first time I ever saw it was well after its theatrical run when a former friend of mine insisted we watch it one night, and I've loved it ever since but only ever been able to watch it at home. It's not a popular film by any means, so this chance to see it in a theatre was just too enticing to pass up (and to reinforce it's not being popular there were about 10 of us in the audience). The story is original, the characters are all interesting, it's wonderfully shot and acted, and the soundtrack is killer (which reminds me, I need to buy the soundtrack still). If you haven't seen it you should check it out, especially if you have any love for old-school early rock n' roll. Seeing it all in a theatre was a joy, and I'll definitely be going back to the theatre again in the future. In fact, the moment I walked into the theatre I felt a sense of being at home which was exciting. And if I'd had more money I would have spent the day there, because after Six-String Samurai they were screening Repo Man, Death Race 2000, and The Warriors, followed by an interactive screening of The Room which is the only film of those I have zero interest in ever seeing (though also the only one of the films I haven't seen before). So yeah, I could have easily stayed longer & I'm sure it would've been worth it but alas I couldn't justify the expense. Maybe another time...

Re-watch - Nov. 20th I just watched this about a year ago, so I won't repeat myself. The kiddo picked this off the shelf today, which was nicely timed with Thanksgiving being this week. She was more scared by it than its predecessor, but found plenty to enjoy along the way too. Clearly she forgot she'd already seen it before (or maybe I'm recalling it incorrectly & she just saw part of it instead of the entire thing), and it was fun seeing her reactions to it all. She was really confused why anyone would be afraid of Michael Jackson, & I had to point out that while she likes Disney movies the Addams children wouldn't. Heh.
