Closer (2004): good tone set to the movie by their wit, emotions, etc. great, great music. the characters are extremely odd and most would think that they really don't resemble you and i. i'd argue differently though and say that they are really hot looking average people. i did find it interesting that they chose two guy brits and two chick yanks. i would have liked to of read the infamous book they kept talking about. i thought jude was really a prick in the film, which seems to be his typecast role as of late. the story is very complicated because it runs really deep with emotions flying in every which way. for some reason, julia really reminded me at times of karen. please don't ask why cuz i don't remember now. nat port is perfection. of course i'm biased but i truly think she stole the show on this one. absolute perfection on film and the greatest actress in 30+ years. clive was also really awesome. he should absolutely be the next bond if anyone cares about what i think. the flash-backs and flash-forwards really make you think, but its nothing that the average person can't figure out. you will be appalled by one of two things in this movie. 1. the movie is about the harsh realities of love and i mean harsh. it can be hard to sit through at times. 2. the movie contains lots of harsh language. if you've got a weak stomach for the sopranos, this might not be for you. those that fall into number two will be blinded by the language and fail to see the great beauty of a film this actually is. buy it.
A Man for All Seasons (1966): the cover looks dreadfully dull. this was made relatively close to tom jones so i wonder if some old english phase was going around the movies at the time. at first you really have no idea what the crap is going on. the music is outstanding, but the movie is very much an "acting movie," where you're sure to get nominated for every acting award (this having nominations for 3 of the 4). i think it ended up being slightly better than its cover. there is a big mirror of christ's life. there were amazing costumes. the whole movie felt like it was made in the 80's during that phase of huge sweeping and exotic epic dramas at the time. this is very much a compliment meaning it was thirty years ahead of its time. its worth seeing because you also get a really cool glimpse into the catholic church which times nicely with the pope dying and all.
the starting line’s 'given a chance' comes on my comp and immediately started kinda dancing in my chair. then i realized that i should have been a girl because i really dance like a girl pretty good. that’s not to say i can’t dance good like a girl. it’s like i’m maybe a 6 or 7 when it comes to being a good guy dancer, but like a 8 or 9 when it comes to being a good girl dancer. and i’m not talking about doing crazy sexual booty dancing. i’m saying like club dancing. don’t take any of this and assume i’ve got some gay tendencies in me cuz i don’t and i’ll kill your family if you think otherwise.
i said something today along the lines of “i’m so awkward” and could not for the life of me remember what it was from, then it hit me. it’s chris from family guy. i think he says it to a girl or something then runs off.
my sister’s prom was tonight so we headed to their place for some good times with the whole thing. the cute little couple looked good and i’ll make sure to have pics up soon.
sunday morning call is so beautiful.
