There Will Be Blood was one of the most messed up movies I've ever seen about the cruelty of some humankind, but it was good.

I really enjoyed Atonement.

My bf and I watched them back to back in a movie theater one Sunday. Made for an interesting afternoon and a solemn drive home because those movies were both messed up.

Atonement is a terrible movie. Phony pseudo-high brow junk. It is, however, a great book.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a great movie.

I was reading a book last night, "Pronoia Is The Anitdote to Paranoia", and stumbled upon a brief description on the story behind the movie. It's now on my list of things to do this week.

Yes..trys so hard to be artsy and important and fails. If I saw one more character take a drag on a cig and stare into space....

Only redeaming value was the best use of a typewriter in a song/soundtrack since Exhuming McCarthy

Speaking of typewriters...although it didn't come out last year, the best movie I saw last year was The Lives of Others.
