I went to see The Brave One yesterday. I was totally surprised by it because I wasn't sure what it was about. Jodie Foster definitely gave an oscar-worthy performance in it.

The next movie i'm going to see is also eastern promises....probably this saturday....don't judge a movie by it's title :P....the title might have meaning and depth

they had the characters constantly switching roles without any meaningful reasons why, Russell Crowes' character was awfully cute in dialog too, a little too much for my liking..

>>>>>spoiler<<<<<

and russell crowe puts himself on the train? WTF? 2 seconds ago he was killing a dude with a fork!

I'm excited for eastern promises too :P

yea, I did. Steinbeck is a great writer. He writes the most subtle details that you can pick up as a reader and they really make the scenes. It was a good short read.

Moulin Rouge for the billionth time last night.

I'm not a huge Steinbeck guy, I thought Graoes of Wrath was sort of boring although yes he has a superb knack fro creating beautiful detailed imagery and noting subtleties other authors overlook.

Who else do you read mr. Les Paul, who I've still never talked to here.

Eastern Promises was the last thing I saw in theatres, but I didn't think it was all that great, Cronenberg's recent films are kind of lackluster. I just got done watching Palindromes, which was a really weird dark movie and just before that I watched Nausicaa Valley of the Wind which was a pretty good film.

To be honest, I really dont read all that much. If you would have any suggestions of some good reads It'd be much appreciated.

I watched Little Shop of Horrors, not because I wanted to, but my friends were watching it, so yeah. It's like a fairly low budget musical about a mutant plant that has to have human blood in order to stay alive, and they sing and such.

THE HAMILTONS

A low budget Horror/Family drama that has some interesting ideas on vampires. It reminded me of NEAR DARK (without the stunning visuals) and more especially Romero's MARTIN in that it depicts Vampirism as an illness. A lot of people will find this boring as hell, as it's quite subtle. I enjoyed it.

POLICE ACADEMY

All hail the cheese! I just fancied a trip down memory lane and the quite frankly awful P.A did the trick. I enjoyed it purely for nostalgia.

Tekkonkinkreet

At times mindbogglingly brilliant. Visually, the most spectacular anime I've ever seen.

Loove that movie...Almost as good as:

"Shut the **** up Donny."
