Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Tonight was the night for flix at the $3 theatre that just opened nearby.

-- W
I was surpised how sympathetic the filmed made Bush seem and at the same time almost surealist. There was a thin line between mockery and homage and I thought it an interesting film. Not the greatest Oliver Stone film, but Brolin does a fantastic job.

-- Sex Drive
In the spirit of American Pie - a real funny teenage R-rated film that is both hysterical and gross but had a bit of a cheesy ending.

-- Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Great quotable dialogue by Kevin Smith and alot of laughs. It was both hysterical and gross but had a cheesy ending.

OK - so "Porno" and "Sex Drive" pretty much had the exact same plot and has the same female in it,* so that was a bit odd seeing both in the same night. Boy and Girl are "best friends" and thru 1. making a porno and another driving to meet a girl for sex, they come to learn they actually "love" each other. Pretty much the same plot for both but I thought them funny.

Edit to add: It was actually "W" and "Porno" that had the same female lead. Elizabeth Banks played Laura Bush and Miri.
