Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu were starring in Potiche. How can you pass up an opportunity to go see a Catherine Deneuve movie? Seriously?! In truth, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision as I was walking by the Shattuck Theatre, after seeing Super at the Californian Theatre - which I apparently liked much more than moroccomole did. . . my reaction ( Read more... )

I didn't realize this, but it's a three-day week-end! Holy cow! I love it. I bought a filing cabinet from CB2. I'll finally be down to box of unpacked crap! I then went to Ritual Coffee House, which is becoming a bit of a ritual (heh) with me. I started The Brothers Karamozov, which is good and makes me pretentious, but I honestly don't care ( Read more... )

Five word review:

"Rampant atheism pisses off gods."

P.S. It was shit.

I cleaned the cat box!!!!

No, you don't understand. I didn't just remove the globbed up piss and feces balls that were clumped together. But I also washed the sides where one of the cats was . . . less than precise.

My week-end was majorly dull.

I am in a horrible mode after work on Friday. I decide to go see Funny People, which is . . . okay. Some good performances. Adam Sandler played a real asshole, which is okay, but there was something a bit . . . off in his character that I can't reconcile with the rest of the movie ( Read more... )

Separate Tables

Stuffy, stuffy post-war England. Unrequited love. Damaged people. Disturbing behavior by a boarder. All in an English seaside town. Eventually, Deborah Kerr successfully removes herself from under her mother's spell to become her own person. At least for a little bit.

The InnocentsDevil children!!! Or are they? Maybe it's Deborah ( Read more... )

Holy fuck! I seriously didn't expect Angels & Demons to suck quite this much. Yeah, I knew it would be bad. But, geez, seriously?!

The only things I couldn't suspend my disbelief over (and for a religious movie, how ironic is it that you need to do that?!) were:

• the fact that there was a plane waiting for them 20 minutes away from Harvard ( Read more... )

I have an unhealthy urge to go see Angels & Demons. Christian and Randy both saved me from going to see the late showing last night. I watched The Triplets of Belleville again. A much better choice!
