Film catch-up

I got behind on these somehow, quick catch-up:

X-Men 3: Surprisingly good, largely because Ian McKellan carries it.

Thank You For Smoking: Pretty good, but not great. Funny, but not nearly as dark as I was hoping or as some reviewers seem to think it is.

The Island: Really, really stupid. An insult to my intelligence. And thus bad. Nice effects ( Read more... )

Saw Brick last night and it was excellent.

Kind of a Chinatown-esque film noir thingy, only all the characters are in high school. It's not like the movie goes on about it though ("oh, look, they're in school, how delightfully witty"), it's just a kind of unusual setting for an excellent detective story. Twisty story, too.

Here are the details of its movements.

I bumped into the lady from upstairs, and she said they'd had the mouse poisoners in, so that confirms the "pre-poisoned" hypothesis.

Also, someone somewhere was having sex loudly enough that it was really very clearly audible in my kitchen. I suspect it was coming from downstairs but I couldn't quite bring myself to put my ear to the floor to ( Read more... )

Check out my door! It's like I'm some kind of CARPENTER or something, fear me.

Mouse update

Mickey died while I was at work. Either he was sick or the cheese didn't agree with him. Poor mouse. Eliminates the "how far away to dispose of the mouse" problem though.

I noticed something small and grey on the floor in my kitchen this morning. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a mouse. It was so cute ( Read more... )
