Some friends rented Battlefield Earth for the big laughs and hijinks but it wasn't even worth that. Worst movie ever. EVER.

Disco Pigs was on telly last night. And I was so damned confused. I would have loved the damned thing if I'd been watching it by myself, but my friends kept getting confused by the storyline, and Mike came in drunk and covered in garlic mayo and that was distracting, and then I almost fell asleep and I decided to go to bed half way through before I started to drool. There was something whispy and romantic about it, yet oddly disturbing, something that made me gag a little. Disco Pigs is amazing I love that movie so much and ya it think watching it alone is the best way to see this movie I don’t know why that is but I watch it all by myself and loved it right away it was so different I love films like that and it made it all the more loveable that the brilliant Cillian Murphy was in it I just watch “Running On Empty” staring River Phoenix it was good nothing really exiting happened it was about a family on the run from the law and that’s about it, but a fun movie to watch when one is board.

i watched Read My Lips last night. i'm a bit of a sucker for the 'two-outcasts-come-together-yippee' storyline, but just as long as the characters are honest and well-developed which luckily was the case. pretty interesting actually, what began as a story of a really dysfunctional courtship develops into a thriller-ish crime drama minus the ridiculous twists and unreasonable epiphanies that characters seem to get when they're about to die. well...they were reasonable epiphanies...
hm, also the lady is a desperate, nearly deaf introvert who can read lips and the guy is a desperate, nearly dead [figuratively speaking] ex-convict with troublesome past.
and i'd say it's worth seeing just for the wonderfully clever sound editing.

I think the last ones I've seen are Labyrinth and Juno. Labyrinth was way better...
This coming week, since I'm off school, my goal is to finally sit down and watch all three Back to the Futures once and for all. I'll keep ya'll updated on that.

Tideland Terry Gilliam is pretty gifted and this might well be the best film he's done. So utterly bizarre. If only he'd been allowed to do the Harry Potter films as per J K Rowlings request. That'd be well good. Agreed, this is definitely my favourite film of his! I'd have loved to have seen what he would've done with Harry Potter!

I just watched Lars and the Real Girl. I am not sure what to think about it. i know what you mean, at first when i saw this movie i wasn't sure if i liked it or not, it's kinda sad, and cute at the same time, but i like it more now.

I got attached to Lars and Bianca by the end of the movie. That I certainly did not expect.

Watched some of Kids this evening, the similarities to my own life are shocking, just transplanting mid-90s New York to a small town in the north east of Scotland. Well maybe it's not that close after all, since there wasn't all he virgin shagging, drug taking, fighting and AIDS. But apart from that pretty close.

Lady in the Water
Not exactly what I expected, but definitely very beautiful. I quite like the lore they used to create this movie and I was quite impressed by the acting. I've now heard and read several times, that this isn't as good as other Shyamalan movies, but I honestly wasn't expecting to see another "Sixth Sense", this is something completely different. A slightly dreamy fairytale.

As much as I loathe going to the movies because generally I find people have a hard time remiaining quiet for 2 hours, I do enjoy girls night movies, so tonight we went to see Definitely, Maybe. It was actually pretty good. And Ryan Reynold's is very easy on the eyes. Almost enough of a destraction from the man sitting beside me trying to guess (out loud) what the next line in the movie was going to be.

I saw Shellybaby on Monday night.
I dunno.
a) disturbing (but meant to be) b) depressing (ditto) c) SHE COULD HAVE WORN A BRA ONCE IN A WHILE d) All it basically was was sex, drugs, crying, drugs, sex, go and see your probation officer, cry, see your daughter, fight, sex, drugs, sex, sex, cry, get molested, sex, trying to steal your daughter, drugs and, uh, sex.
On the plus side, the acting was very, very good.

c) SHE COULD HAVE WORN A BRA ONCE IN A WHILE this immediately makes me think of Gregory's Girl if you have seen it, you will know what i mean also we watched the Matrix (yesyes, a bit late on, but wotevz) and i actually quite enjoyed it (me enjoying films is a strange occurance), the fighty parts were the ones i enjoyed the most, because it was like FUCK YEAH FIGHTING and stuff. and then right at the end they totally couldn't've picked a better song the mushy crap at the end though, what purpose did that serve? "I LOVE YOU NEOOOOO" i haven't seen any of the other ones so i do not know, i'm sure there is a point to it i'm such a boy.

It's anchorman, not anchorlady, and that is a scientific fact.

In the Valley of Elah
Its about a US veteran (Tommy Lee Jones, <3, he's nominated for an oscar for this) who's son goes AWOL after returning from Iraq, so he goes off to figure out what happened to him. Its an anti-war detective story, its a bit obvious and sensationalist (paul haggis directed/wrote the screenplay so go figure). But I liked it, it's redeeming quality are the characters and random subtleties. And it probably helped that I believe in what they're saying: the army is too preoccupied covering its own ass to care about/for its soldiers, who come back from Iraq completely fucked up and with PTSD and shit and unable to function in society again, and then everything is bogged down in bureaucracy they can't get any help from to gov't or from the military.
