Exam time is all about the movies
Cruel Intentions - Dear god, it's stupid if you think about it at all. However, the soundtrack, the cinematography, and the pacing are perfect. It does what it intends to do (har har) very well. And the Ryan Phillippe/Reese Witherspoon story still makes me gleeful.
The Shop Around the Corner - You've Got Mail was based on it, and does it better. It' ( Read more... ) -
I think I've had my fill of George F Walker for a year
In the last 24 hours I have sat through the better part of 4 plays from Suburban Motel. Lauren was great. Samya was great. Those two other people in the drama program who I don't know but am a fan of were great ( Read more... ) -

Crepuscule with Nellie
Persepolis - makes me want to look at the graphic novel. An interesting look at Iran (and being a woman in--) in the 1980s/1990s, and a pretty good introductory history lesson for those of us that are ignorant (like me). The main character is sympathetic and gutsy and likable, but the movie held me at just a little too much of a distance. I kept ( Read more... ) -

godzooks, forsooth!
There's something about that movie. It completely misses the point of the book but It's sweepingly romantic in so many ways. The music swells just at the right moment to pull at your heartstrings and even though you know it's cheap you don't care. The photography, the landscapes at dawn, the pretty cast: you just can't turn away. You get hooked. ( Read more... ) -
fortune favours the brave
It snowed. Lots and lots of snow. This means I may have to brave wearing boots which I hate and which snugly hurt my feet or brave the wet, wet, running shoes. But not today. Today, I stayed at home all cozied up in my pyjamas for most of the day, doing lab and other EngSci work. I caught up on old episodes of House. The more I see of Olivia Wilde' ( Read more... )
