OK then, another warning. There are some extremely startling moments in Inland Empire. Definitely a horror flick on some level.

Did you watch the TV series? "She's dead, wrapped in plastic!" My mom and I still quote that one. It had some wacky, creepy moments, and "Bob" was in many of them. Firewalk with Me crossed ick-factor lines the TV show could not. "There's a fish in the percolator." Lynch is definitely a creative wack job.

That's so sad if it's true.

I too hope they are just rumors. I love him. Take care Owen!

What is the deal with Hannah Montana? I keep catching a minute of the show here or there. Her name isn't Hannah, but then they talk about meeting her. Is she a celebrity? I don't get it, but then, do I really want to?!

I still have not seen HSM 2 so I cannot compare the two. I enjoyed #1 much better the second time. The first time I watched it with 32 fifth graders who were quoting the entire movie!

Hannah Montana is her rock star secret identity. See she's a regular student by day, rock star by night. She wears the wig to disguise herself.

I saw Kinky Boots last night. I really enjoyed it. Chiwetel Ejiofor did a fantastic job as the drag queen.

I have passed Kinky Boots to people at work who had no idea what I was handing them.
Do you have issues with drag queens? no
Foreign accents? No
Here.. watch this

Brilliant little film. Though I did leave wanting more.

It always looked interesting to me, but I had no idea it was going to be as good as it was. It was funny, but had enough dramatic bits to make the characters realistic, and had some really sweet moments. There was always something I liked about Ejiofor when I saw him in other things, but I've gotta say this film made me a full fledged fan.

I saw Balls of Fury tonight...

Seeing Christopher Walken singing "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was almost worth the price of admission.

Balls of Fury is a movie everyone should rent on DVD and drink alot before watching. It's very funny, but not in the way I thought it would be. Most of the laughter was either followed or was proceeded by a Oh My GOd!

Not worth running out to see, but worth seeing for a good laugh.

Saw War last night because both Jet Li and Jason Statham are capable of bringing the kick assery. Unfortunately whoever was in charge of it wasn't particularly capable of filming and editing it.

This is one of the best film reviews I've ever read.
