Two Movies
I saw two movies over the weekend that I thought deserve a mention here.
On Friday night, rollick showed us Dave McKean's MirrorMask. It was pretty to look at, but the story was only so-so. It seemed like a derivative combination of The Never-Ending Story and Labyrinth. Folks who liked either of these two movies should probably give MirrorMask a try when it comes out.
On Saturday night, my boyfriend Cat and I watched Pedro Almodovar's Bad Education. Cat was astounded that I had not seen an Almodovar film before. Anything I say about Bad Education will probably give the story away. You'll just have to trust me that it's good. I would recommend it to anyone who likes mildly dark films. If you don't like subtitles or gay men, you should stay away.
