Just saw Cold Souls with Paul Giamatti. A bit of an existential comedy in the vein of Being John Malkovich. I enjoyed it a lot. I found it a little like watching a painting. Not that it was visually stunning but there was a lot of room for your own imagination.

is overly ambitious and sprawling, Rodriquez is better shooting some cartoonish violence and quick jump cuts. does show how skewered Mexican politics are, but Johnny Depp is totally wasted in this role. My fave is still the 1st "El Mariachi" - 4/10 |

Really? You prefer El Mariachi over Desperado. To each their own I guess...
Anyhow I ended up watching this last night. It's pretty much if Waiting... was just about the waiting staff and took place in a fancier restaurant then a Red Robin knockoff. Still the movie has some pretty funny moments, Michael Clark Duncan steals every scene he's in which surprised me because I didn't think he'd be that great in a comedy movie. Basically if you liked Waiting... or have worked as a server or know someone who's worked as a server, give this one a try. |

If it wasn't for the two douches wrecking the local town for their old man I may have enjoyed this better, bad acting is acceptable, annoying acting is not. Loved the colour schemes though and I don't think I can listen to Disco Inferno in quite the same way again.

I re-watched Pulp Fiction yesterday. Quentin Tarantino will always be my favourite director. I got Platoon today, which I've been after seeing for a while. Gonna check it out tomorrow.
