Sixteen Candles is on now. It's odd that I've never watched this movie from start to finish, but I have seen the entire thing in bits and pieces. Never finished Pretty in Pink either despite being a big Molly Ringwald fan.

Has anyone here seen Mah Nakorn (Citizen Dog)? It was a pretty good movie, but started to drag on around the last thirty minutes. The visuals were great; it was sort of like a Wes Anderson movie with actual heart. I was wondering if the "growing a tail" thing is a reference to something in Thai mythology or if it was just meant to be random.

Anyway! Ooh, during the past 2 weeks I went and saw 3 movies here! Sherlock Holmes was surprisingly fantastic. It's nice to see that Guy Ritchie wasn't sucked dry of a soul by succubus-Madonna. And The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was looooooooooovely. I didn't have many high hopes because of the unwatchable Tideland, but Terry Gilliam still has it in him to make a looovely movie. Even with the whole Heath Ledger death thing. Christopher Plummer CARRIES the movie, and makes me absolutely smitten with him. And Lily Cole was unexpectedly really good too. I also went to see the Korean movie "Girlfriends". And both my sister and I walked out not an hour into it. Not due to the lack of understanding, but because it was seriously an unbearable. It felt like 2 hours by the time we left and it didn't even have a semblance of resolving any type of plot it had. Oh Korea, you've faileddd me. x.x |

I watched Leap Year yesterday, I've been a bit down in the dumps and that movie was a nice escape for an hour and a half. I also watched The Ramen Girl with Brittany Murphy, which I felt was a very honest and surprisingly realistic portrayal of living in Japan and one girl's dream to become a ramen chef. |

Parnassus was in the same vein as Brazil, which I adoreeee. I love the way people act like normal people in the weirdest situations. And seriously, I can't get over Christopher Plummer's awesomeness. I went in thinking that the Heath Ledger character was going to be the main character, but I loved that they focused on Plummer instead. And omgoodness, the look of the Jude Law part seemed like it was pulled straight from his Python drawings, and especially the dancing/cross-dressing policemen part. |

I saw Sherlock Holmes recently and found myself rooting for Holmes and Watson to get together instead of Holmes and Irene Adler. They just had more chemistry! I even like Rachel McAdams but I felt like her character added absolutely nothing to the plot. It's a shame too because the original novel Irene Adler is so cool.

I recently had my second-annual Drunkathon, where I watch a triple feature of overbudgeted crap over Christmas break while getting as drunk as possible.
Last year was Rush Hour 3, Spiderman 3, and Transformers 1. This year it was G.I. Joe, Terminator Salvation, and Transformers 2. G.I. Joe was actually sort of fun, better than I expected. Especially when you compare it with the other two. It was tight, had a good spirit, and just the right amount of insanity and ingenious casting. The wine helped. Terminator Salvation was a fucking ordeal. Best thing about was I got halfway drunk throughout and couldn't figure out why everyone was so serious. Transformers was as horrible as everyone says, only it hit some level of awfulness so transcendent I can't say I hated it. |
