I watched this weird yet awesome movie called Gummo. It's like if homerjayla made a movie.
Same guy that made the disturbing Kids movies I think? I remember them being quite well done. I have plans to see District 9 and Ponyo soon...Has anyone seen Ponyo yet?

Battle Royale 9/10
besides being a great gore-fest (a bit more believable than the usual gore-fest at least) it's also a nice way to symbolise the crossing from education to work-life in japan, which is, as far as i know, really brutal (just like the film shows). It's also very creative of different ways of killings (crossbow, sickle, guns, hand grenades, sword, suicide, poison, hatchet, knife, exploding collar etc.)

The Breakfast ClubYes, I only just watched this last week. I've been told I have to catch up on John Hughes movies. Almost every scene reminded me of that scene being spoofed by another movie or tv show. But otherwise it was alright. Anthony Michael Hall looked so young and pretty. Sixteen CandlesWhat the hell was that? Fuck off, as if the guy you have had a crush on for who knows how long is going to suddenly want to go out with you when he realises you're giving him googly eyes. Not to mention he picked up your note that says you'd sleep with him! And then he tells his mate he doesn't want to just sleep with you. I stared at boys from afar for all my high school years and I got nothing. I should have 'accidentally' dropped notes in front of them that said I wanted to screw them, eh? Anyway, pretty boring to watch.

I went to see Coraline today (now that its finally reached NZ). I didn't know what to expect, having never read (or even heard of) the book, but I enjoyed it more than I suspected that I would. It wasn't great, but if I had to justify why I thought that, it would be hard to think of anything that was actually wrong with it (as far as a movie-going experience goes). I'll see if a second viewing tomorrow changes my mind. Of the animated movies that I've seen in the past year* I think I'd rate it second only to Bolt. A—* Up still hasn't made it here yet.

People ragging on Sixteen Candles: You look me in the eye and tell me Long Duk Dong wasn't one of the most carefully drawn comedic characters in history.
Pretty in Pink was so much better.

“There's nothing there, man. It's not ugly. It's just… void.” [Blinks] Anyhoo, back to Coraline… I finally remembered* something that I thought actually detracted from the story. When she's trying to find the… ghost children's eyes, I thought the fact that each one gave her a short audiovisual message from its owner as she recovers it …was an unnecessarily and uncharacteristicly video-gamey touch. Now that I've got that off my chest I return you to your previous discussion. … "I got to work with Anthony Michael Hall in a film. … He's fun. Nice guy." [ Singing; to the tune of the Ride of the valkyries opening theme from the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony] "Nobody cares! Nobody cares! Nobody cares, Nobody cares, Nobody cares. Nobody… "
* If watching it again counts as a memory aid.

Jumps? Out of fear, excitement, or arousal?

First one, then the others. Inglourious BasterdsOh my fucking Dalai Lama. This film was amazingly awesome. I loved that it was an alternate history, since the real history ending would've sucked. I mean, come on, you can't deny you loved seeing Hitler get annihilated by those guns. . It was all classic Tarantino. I can see Christoph Waltz being nominated for some awards for this, don't see Pitt so much. Kruger was pretty good in it, but not sure if award-worthy, and Mike Myers' and Samuel L. Jackson's parts were pretty funny. Mélanie Laurent could get some awards nods too. Speaking of which, she was pretty hot. Just saying, just saying. I'll give this an A, just behind District 9 and ahead of Up as the best film I've seen this year. Also my second favorite Tarantino, behind Reservoir Dogs.

Even I enjoyed it, and I'm a girl! I'm not well educated in Tarantino films though, because I suck. I'll get right on that at some point. Jumps? Out of fear, excitement, or arousal?
I don't know...I just don't know. The volume was up just a tad too high, so I'll give him that, but I always prepare myself for sudden loud noises in films so as not to embarrass myself by jumping every time some guy walks around the corner and the music goes BADOUUU.
