I was a total hermit last night. I crawled into bed and watched 4 movies.

First movie:

Private Dicks - Men Exposed

No this was not a porno. It was basically a documetary with men talking about their dicks. Like that doesn't happen every day.


Second movie:

Everything Is Illuminated

I'm sorry but I have this kind of gross crush on Elijah Wood. He looks so young. The movie was quirky and sweet. This is about a boy that collects things. He decides to trace his roots in the Ukraine.

The Dying Gaul

I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS MOVIE. It had me going. Campbell Scott, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard are the main actors in the movie. They were all incredible. It's about a bisexual producer that is married and has an affair with a screenwriter.


Capote

Another great movie. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was brilliant. Kathy Keener can do no wrong in my book. I'm sure you already know about this movie.

What do you think about these movies.

She has been my new goddess since Malkovich.

She is a TRUE actress.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

What did you think of Eugene Hutz? Isn't he amazing in this role?

I love Safraan Foer, btw. His books;

And Liev Schreiber is a gifted director, in my eyes

loved capote.

I watched the 40 Year Old Virgin last night after the Pistons game.

i have a killer flu and did the same thing yesterday..

i watched Capote, Flight Plan, Stay & Keane...

Capote was a bore...Sure Hoffman was great but the film was a bore...Flight Plan was aight popcorn fluff...Stay sucked..and Keane was too darn disturbing for me to say i enjoyed it...i dont regret watching it but i'll never watch it again.

HamsterHuey said:

Yes this movie is sooooo beautiful. Liev Schreiber scares me. He is very gifter. Was Eugene Hutz the hip hop Jewish guy? He was brilliant ans so loveable.

I've never heard of Keane. What is that about?

HamsterHuey said:

The first time I saw Kathy Keener was in a movie that starred Steve Buscemi. I can't think of the name of it but it was about the making of an independent film. It was hilarious. It did get a little repetitive but it worked. I fell in love with her after that.

I absolutely loved Capote. One of the best movies I've ever seen.

I have to check it out. I was going to tell you that I watched STAY. I was soooo confused. I'm not an idiot but what the hell.

I did like some of the little nuances and tricks in the film. There was a part that was creepy for me. I noticed the background and different sets of twins or triplets would be walking around. And what was up with the color yellow?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

you know what? there was a point during Stay were my brain just shut down and i gave up trying to figure out what was going on...i totally surfed the internet while watching it and didnt even notice any twins...nor did i care if the guy lived or died at the end...

The last four movies I've seen were:

Transamerica - Very funny and touching without being mawkish. Breezes along and seems to be over too quickly.

The 40 Year Old Virgin - Yeah, it's old now but I hadn't seen it. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I thought it'd be a gross-out comedy and it sort of was, but wasn't. It was sweet.

Mysterious Skin - Disturbing. It's a good film but it upset me a lot. The scene where the crazy ufologist-lady tries to go down on the blonde guy, really stuck in my head more than any other. Moreso than the rape-scene in the bathroom.

Torch Song - Joan Crawford lip-synching her way through a fabulous camp-fest. The Technicolor is so full-on that it looks like her lips are bleeding throughout the movie. There's this terribly incorrect scene where she performs this song called "Two Faced Woman" in mixed-race blackface. It's so wrong but hilarious. She spits out the camp dialogue like an embittered drag queen on Death Row.

She portrays an actress called Jenny Stewart who's rehearsing for her new show called "An Evening With Jenny". To cut a long-story short, her musical arranger quits, due to her demands (even though she offers to pay for his psychiatric treatment) and a new blind arranger is hired. She makes no dispensations for his disability and when he dares to change the arrangement of a song she throws a glass of water in his direction. The blind guy's guide-dog growls whenever Jenny/Joan enters the room. lol. Anyway, the blind guy can see Jenny's "inner beauty" supposedly because he's blind, but you'd have to be in a coma not to notice that she's a complete bitch! My favourite line of the movie was delivered to the producer of Jenny's Broadway show:

If Doctors treated patients, the way you produce shows, we'd all be dead.

I seen Everything is Illuminated Last week. It's right up my allie as far as movies goes. It was very entertaining. I love movies that are not cookie cutter type of hollywood trashdumpsterdiving crap.

Capote: my wife rented this a couple of days ago. We often watch a movie when we are waking up. It was done very well. I like that particular actor, because he is not a sterotipically good looking man. He did a wonderful job on the moive. He is a great actor. As for the movie, I thought there were a couple to many social drinking party shots. I understand this is to show Capotie's acholoism and need for being the center of attention.
