Friday was a day for bizarre comedic movies. For the last few weeks, we've shown a lot of horror, action and suspense, so we felt it would be nice to take a turn into comedy for a change. The first film, "Over Her Dead Body", starred Eva Longoria as a recently deceased wife who's forced to watch her man wood by an attractive fake psychic. The movie is light-hearted, and served as an interesting reprisal of Longoria's role in the series "Desperate Housewives".
Later in the afternoon, we decided to go classic with "Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". "Strangelove" is a quirky, satirical movie directed by Stanley Kubric, who also directed "2001: a Space Oddity". Here Kubric presents a wry look at Cold War politics and paranoia. Peter Sellers stars in a fascinating trifecta role as Captain Mandrake, Dr. Strangelove and the President of the United States. Also of note is the debut appearance of James Earl Jones.
