| So last night's episode didn't suck. Totally. I couldn't stomach GothVaughn - sorry, he looked icky and stupid, and I felt so embarassed I couldn't watch. Sark on the other hand was HOT, as usual, but dude, if someone wants to KILL Lauren, fucking let him!! Don't kill Bomani instead! You fucking dumbass! I really liked the Jack-Sloane faceoffs, and finally Syd's kicking some ass. It's been weeks without a fight, thank god. Still, Lauren's shit is about to hit the fan, and I hope they don't drag it out. Just gut her already. Watched Femme Fatale. Liked it quite a bit. Brian de Palma was responsible for the pretty, but stupid Lara Croft 2, which he at least didn't write. He wrote and directed this "erotic thriller" and made a rather interesting movie. His shots are gorgeous, wonderful framing, amazing location selections, just a pleasure to watch. The plot is intriguing and original enough - won't give too much away. Basically about Rebecca Romijn-Stamos stealing diamonds and trying to escape. There's obviously more, but I won't get into, just watch it for yourself. The film is extremely sexual in parts, and it's clear that Stamos was chosen more for her perfect body than for her acting skills, which is a shame. She's not terrible, better than I expected, but I wish a more talented actress could have played her character. Yes, physical beauty is obviously a huge part of the allure, but the caustic attitude, the predatory, primal aspect to her personality could have been played better. She almost got there, but not quite. 3.5 stars. Watched Adaptation. First half of the movie - absolutely wicked. These are the character pieces I love. Nicholas Cage plays a screenwriter and his twin, trying to adapt the novel The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean into a movie. The film is his struggle with writing the screenplay (which ends up as the screenplay for Adaptation) and with self-loathing in his inabilities as a writer and a person. So the movie is actually a story about writing this movie, ultra-meta. Great dialogue, great acting (I now somewhat respect Nic Cage). I didn't like when it turned all thriller and action-y in the second half, but I guess it was worth it for the great moment between the brothers. Watch it. 4 stars. Going back to London tomorrow,boo. I'm SO behind with studying. Wow. I'm actually going to have to work now. Shit. |
