Music Player: (what I'm listening to right now/not really RIGHT NOW/but you get the idea)
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Film School #2
I. Happy-Go-Lucky - 3/4 - British film starring Sally Hawkins portraying a seriously happy-go-lucky (that was obvious) 30-year old Kindergarten teacher. Along the way she manages to unhinge a driving instructor, bring some comfort to a ho-bo, and learn to Flamenco. A very funny, unique film.
II. Margot At The Wedding - 2.5/4 - A quirky film by the maker of the amazing 'The Squid & The Whale'. Like that one, it is highly unusual but in a good way. Nicole Kidman is a writer that comes to visit her estranged sister as she prepares to marry....Jack Black. Yes, he is funny as hell. The sexual themes throughout are very interesting and something to pay attention too (topics such as masturbation and pedophilia are brought up) but the overall effect of the film, especially with the possibly abrupt ending...leaves you wanting a little more explained. The strange thing about this movie is that some will really like it and others will find it....well I don't know how they'll find it but it won't be in a positive light. Truly, this is a film you have to see and decide for yourself.
