When the trailer first started I thought, “oh this looks like a typical, super-hyped, hollywood scary movie,” but then I glimpsed HIM and now I’m hooked.
Maybe I can trick Amanda into seeing it with me.
While house sitting for Linda and Cameron last week, I took advantage of television central and watched both The Midnight Meat Train and Filth and Wisdom.
The Midnight Meat Train was recommended by Maria, and it did not disappoint. Yes, it was a silly, predictable horror movie, but aren’t those the best? It was so fun and I enjoyed every moment of it. Subway Monsters!
Filth and Wisdom was just as horrible as I expected it to be, but I still had to see it. I find Madonna to be absolutely ridiculous in just about everything she does, and so full of herself. Eugene Hutz, unfortunately, is just becoming a caricature to me, and no longer appeals (much like Johnny Depp). I wouldn’t say don’t waste your time, if you watched it we could then discuss its awfulness, but I wouldn’t go out of your way or even pay to see it.
I went to work last night to finally watch Burn After Reading. I found it to be rather bland. Kind of like a soup with no salt. Lots of fun actors with a potentially humorous story, but just lacking any oomph.
Tonight Heidi and I leave for New York for tomorrow’s big Martha Stewart day!
Even with the lack of my beloved Gary, I will still watch it and get ever so excited for it.
Ghengis Khan really was a sweetheart and Mongol really was an excellent movie. I will most certainly be watching it again when it comes out on DVD.
Oh, and I watched Tell No One over the weekend and was quite pleased. It made up for the boring nonsense that was Roman de Gare that I watched the week before.
Now I’m just waiting for Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
I watched The Fall last week at work and still haven’t been able to get it out of my head. It was so beautiful and amazing and emotional.
The little girl in it was so damn perfect that I’m wondering if the movie was even scripted. It was just so real.
I need to watch it again and again and again.
I was really upset last night when I found out that this week’s Film Forum movie is Southland Tales. They seem to always show the movies I want to see when I go out of town.
But I just discovered that my current obsession, Thao Nguyen, is playing in Charlottesville tomorrow night, so if Crystal and I go to that, it will totally make up for me missing some silly ol’ movie.
Thao is also playing in Norfolk Monday night and I am so ready.
During the trailer today for There Will Be Blood, Thom made a comment about how he hopes that we can show it. It depends on how well Atonement does.
I rue the day that a piece of shit Keira Knightley period piece prevents me from seeing a new P.T. Anderson film.
Henry Selick, Neil Gaiman, They Might Be Giants. What’s not to love?
Oh yeah, Dakota Fanning. That kid creeps me right out.

Comedy actor PAUL REUBEN is reprising his most famous character to make two new PEE-WEE HERMAN movies. Just months after vowing never to play the kids’ favourite again, Reubens is working on two new scripts - the first due for release in 2009, 19 years after he retired the beloved character. He explains his change of heart to MTV, “I feel like the time is really ripe right now. A lot of the kids who grew up with the show are young adults. The college kids are middle-aged adults. I feel like I have enough of a built-in audience to make back an investment.”
I’m not sure how I feel about this. Of course, I love me the hell out of some Pee Wee’s Playhouse, but I also know how disastrous these kinds of things usually end up.
According to the site, Wristcutters will be opening in Norfolk Nov 9th. Geez, it’s about time. I feel like I’ve been waiting to see this movie for two years.
