Recent Movies:

The Descent
-amazing, disturbing horror/suspense movie from the UK. brilliant. in the same vein as '28 days later'. watched it with Jenny.

Monster House
-watched it with Dellea; the most fun I've had at the movies in a long time; ending was a bit cheesey/disappointing but the whole film was worth it.

Brick (2005)
-watched it with Dellea on her recommendation; had trouble understanding the plot and also appreciating/caring for the significance of the protagonist's actions. Done in the Noir Style, therefore felt awkward, might be better the second time keeping this in mind.


You and Me and Everyone We Know (2005)
-my second time watching this movie. It is even more gorgeous this time around. I want to write Miranda July and tell her how much I loved it. There are 'poop' references. ))<>((


Bubble (2005)
-interesting, good movie.
