I never go to the movies. However, so far this summer, I saw the third installement of Pirates (UGH) & Knocked-Up (LOVED it!)

Over the weekend, I happened to be listening to Magic Man by Heart on the way to the beach. All I could picture, while driving, was that movie I vaguely remember, The Virgin Suicides.

Josh Hartnett as Trip Fontaine, strutting down the highschool hallway (if I'm not mistaken) to the strains of Magic Man looking every inch the teenage heartthrob. Unbelievably sexy!

Also, it had a killer soundtrack that featured Air. Way killer.

Saw "Dreamgirls" this weekend. Basically enjoyed it, but I couldn't help thinking that it could inspire a new drinking game called "It's over."

I saw Ratatouille on Saturday nite and it was freaking wonderful. One of Pixar's best.

I'm looking forward to it. Even my roomie (who is not at all interested in animation) wants to see it, I'm treating her as part of her birthday present (the other part is a Canon SD 900 digital camera, like mine, for her trip to Mexico).

I've been catching, sporadically, part of the series of films TCM is running for the "Screened Out" Gay Images in Film series. Last night's fare was, The Uninvited (spooky movie about a ghost with Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey - a great name for an actor if ever there was one, Ruth Hussey) and The Picture of Dorian Gray (Hurt Hatfield as a remote Dorian and a very young and beautiful Angela Lansbury as Sybil Vane and the always wonderful George Saunders). An old old favorite film, well done, moody and a nice use of technicolor when showing the painting, before and after.

I'm currently passing Catch & Release around the building....

surprising little film. Who'dve thunk I'd ever find Kevin Smith amusing, let alone funny?
