When strange things aren't happening to me, you can usually find me watching a movie. I don't really get to the actual theaters that much, but I rent often and there's always cable.
Jackass 2 - I couldn't stop laughing and feeling grossed out at the same time. I think everyone's had the same reaction to that horse scene. But my favorite moment was when Wee-Man goes flying off in the swampchute bit. Hilarious!
Lucky Number Slevin - This took 2 days to watch. Not because it's a bad movie...it's actually quite good, but I had a few interruptions.
Silent Hill - I didn't think I would like this movie, but I did. I don't think it's scary at all, but gross, intense and non-stop. I never played the game, but the movie is cool.
Junebug - Indep. movie. It's ok...kinda slow. About a couple who go down to her husband's home town in NC and she's kind of out of her element. She's there to scout some artist and at the same time meet her in-laws. There are family issues getting to what's more important in life. It's supposed to be a comedy drama I guess. The funniest part is the mentally challenged artist she's scouting.
How To Lose Your Lover - Hm...I don't know. I didn't like it, but didn't hate it either. It's dumb. Some guy is sick of living in LA. He feels stuck and wants to leave, so he burns all his bridges. On his way out he meets a woman he thinks he could have a future with, so he stays and realizes in the end he's in love with his roommate. Blah.
Akeela And The Bee - Good movie. Angela Bassett, Lawrence Fishbourne, spelling bee drama...what more do you need?
Friends With Money - Boring ass movie. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know how this movie did so well in the festivals. Sure, it has Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusack and a whole bunch of other people, but it's boring. The movie ended and I though "that was it?...Ok"
The Ice Harvest - Ok, from one movie where nothing happens to a movie where there's a lot going on, but still not really catching my interest. The movie's all right John Cusack's a lawyer for the mob who gets in trouble when mob money goes missing and who has a thing for the lady that runs the strip club. Yeah, the movie allows itself to be watched, but maybe I wasn't in the mood to see it when I did. It's ok.
Twin Sisters - I saw this on cable. Sisters get separated when their parents die and lead completely different lives leading up to the Holocaust. One is taken to Holland, the other stays in Germany and they don't hear from each other for years. They reunite and one sister doesn't like what the other has turned into and decides she can't be a part of that. Differences tear them apart and as old ladies they try reconcile. Good long movie.
