The Phantom of the Opera (2004): wow. buy it. i've never actually seen the musical or knew much about it, so this is why i'm so into this movie. i loved when the phantom would sing. sounded a ton like bowie belting out all these songs. and the chick was amazing. the girl is 18 freaking years old!!! unlike oliver, i loved every musical number and the plot seemed to make more sense. and like oliver, the acting was perfect and the art direction was unreal. this is definitely a must see in the theater movie, but make sure and buy it when it comes out.
The Searchers (1956): this is my first john wayne movie i've ever seen. instead of a review, i think this calls for a little history lesson of my life. my dad was a huuuuge john wayne fan, probably the biggest there is. in fact, his middle name is wayne, which i'm sure is just coincidence or fate. i had always thought that i was named after a john wayne movie, where the duke played the character of ethan allen, who was the leader of the green mountain boys in vermont during the revolutionary war. turns out that i was named after this john wayne movie, where he plays a character named ethan edwards. i guess the allen part was just thrown in as my middle name because that is my dad's first name. so basically, ethan allen just happens to be my name, which just happens to be just like ethan allen from vermont, which just happens to be like the ethan allen furniture store. what are the odds? then again, don't forget all the michael bolton's in the world. i'm gonna have to buy this movie because of its roots to me, however i don't think many of you care about how i was named. don't buy it, even though i will.
Pale Rider (1985): another clint eastwood movie, another western. this didn't have the humor that his previous movies had. still pretty cool to see because its set in northern cali during the gold rush. brings back all the memories of learning about california history in elementary school. yes people, i could pan for gold if i wanted to. first saw this movie like 13 years ago at my grandpa's house, but it seemed better then. i dig westerns, but only if they have that wry humor to it. the deep westerns aren't my thing, meaning i probably won't enjoy too many john wayne movies. don't see.
still not much improvement for our cat. poor little thing. sucks to see him so sad and really not know what is wrong with him. i seriously love the little thing like he is my own child. i'm at a point now where i'd be okay if he were to die. i don't know what that means about me though. it would be sad, but i guess this stuff happens. i know kim would be devastated though. maybe that is why i wouldn't be so sad. if all my attention goes to her and trying to comfort her, i could overlook my own sadness. not like the cat is gonna die or anything though . . . i hope.
had a really weird dream. had some spanish teacher or something, blah blah blah. basically, i decided that it would be sweet to go to law school in barcelona at like the main university or whatever it would be called. we'll call it University of Spain at Barcelona. anyways, i just pictured me living in a little part of town in an old stucco type house. it would be so amazing. then i started thinking about The Rentals' song Barcelona and hearing it in my dream. as i was talking to my teacher though, i realized that i would probably have to learn spanish but decided i could probably just move there and pick up the language by being so immersed in it. i can already understand a good portion of spanish. can't really converse, but i'm sure i could learn. woke up shortly after and realized that it probably wouldn't work. first of all, could never convince kim. second of all, doubt jessIE cares to learn corporate law for the country of spain. now berlin! that's where the money's at.
