Movie time!

In the past week I have watched a few movies (only four, but that is quite a lot for me).

- Die Hard (oh yes I have finally seen it. Life just feels weird now that I no longer have a movie at the very top of my "to see" list). It is awesome, I watched it last Saturday and then continued to think about it for Sunday and most of Monday, except I'm beginning to forget it now (hmm, time for a rewatch methinks? Nah, I can wait). I'll get round to seeing the other Die Hards some day.
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - Yes, I have seen this movie before. I absolutely hate the scene where Judge Doom dips that shoe into The Dip. It's just that it's so cute looking and friendly before getting Dipped.
- Neco z Alenky (Alice) - Remember that surrealist Czech version of Alice in Wonderland I was talking about on my blog a couple of months ago (with the sock puppet catepillar)? I finally got around to watching it. It's a very different take on the story, and it is set in a dilapidated old house (adding to the creepiness). Lots of stop-motion (which is a good think, I adore stop-motion). Yes it is mildly disturbing, especially the White Rabbit. There he is chopping the head off of one of the card people, by order of the Queen of Hearts.



















Everyone should see it though. It's just so wildly different.

- Nikita - Seeing as I like some of the other films Luc Besson has done, I figured I'd like this (the DVD has been lying around in our house unopened for ages). It was good, but I think I still prefer Léon (which is due a rewatch, I can't remember it that well). Oh, and Fifth Element is on next Friday. I'll probably be watching it (it's just such an insane movie, it shouldn't work at all, but it does).

Hello new readers

Well thanks to Gursimren (you got another mention!) telling my critical thinking class about my blog I'm guessing I got a couple new readers *waves at*. As per usual CT was boring but Molly did make some nice chocolate cake.

In other news I have been watching Carnivàle and True Blood. Both have awesome opening sequences. and Carnivàle just has good music throughout. I thought I wouldn't like True Blood and I wasn't originally planning on watching it but hey, I've seen five episodes now (1-4 and 7. It was to do with messed up internet links that I've randomly seen ep 7). Most of the characters annoy me in some way or another. My friend's told me Eric is interesting and I've just been introduced to him - he has Kurt Cobain hair. Apparently this gets cut off though. The Southern accents are hilarious. What can I say about Carnivàle? It's a bit crazy, you should go watch it (there are only 24 episodes, seeing as it got cancelled).

I've also finally read Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass (yes I know it's a children's book - I just didn't want to do art) mainly because there is some crazy Czech film I've heard of that I sort of want to watch where the caterpillar is a sock puppet! Apparently it's one of those somewhat creepy films though... it's called Neco Z Alenky if you want to look it up.
