Keeping with the introduction of movies to my 12 year old, she watched Jurassic Park last night. Being the evil dad I am, while the two kids are being stalked by raptors in the kitchen, I snuck up behind her and grabbed her. She screamed and then proceded to slap the snot out of me.

Ha ha. She spanked you.

I enjoyed "40 year old virgin" FAR more than I thought I would. Great characters, great writing, great ensemble cast. I think that movie proves that there's a way to do a sexual humor/visual gag-fest and do it well.

We watched A History of Violence last night. Most of the acting sucked, with the exception of Viggo Mortensen (sweet sweet Viggo...mmmmm) and Maria Bello. I really liked the themes of the movie though. The good and bad in all of us. Can a person really change? How much can we forgive of our loved ones? etc. It could have been phenomenal if it were done better.

There has been sooo much talk about this film that I need to put it in my queue. I'm curious.

I'm halfway through 'Paradise Now'. Can I just say I love this film already? It's shot very well and written just as well too.

We didn't watch anything last night. Chris got me the desired chocolate mal but he got this super-sized one that I felt compelled to drink almost all of it. Then, I didn't feel so good.

But the important question is this: Was he scruffy Viggo or clean shaven Viggo?

Did you watch the extras? I found them very interesting.

Watched My Dinner with Andre over several sessions yesterday. Several sessions because I kept falling asleep and having to go back.

Can't really say that I enjoyed it. The only film of this type (essentially just characters talking philosophy) that I have enjoyed is Mindwalk. And yet I keep sitting through them. I think it is because I want to be part of the conversation not a spectator to the conversation. Also, Andre is a hippie wacko.
