LOL. I almost bought this because it was shot in Bulgaria - my dad was born there & I still have lots of family. Beautiful country (although Sofia is not my favorite.)

I got mine for Christmas as well. I should have watched it sooner. I do loves me some Carole.


Last night I watched Mastodon: Live at The Aragon.

When The Wind Blows

Following a nuclear strike, an ageing couple seek refuge in their homemade bunker, a ramshackle shed barely strong enough to withstand a grenade, let alone the fallout from a US-USSR war. Awaiting help that never comes, Jim and Hilda slowly suffer the horrifying effects of radiation poisoning.

Don't need to watch that one now, Bee!

I've been watching a lot of Elizabeth Taylor movies lately:

A Place in the Sun
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Giant
Butterfield 8

God, she was stunning.

Watched Black Swan last night and I'm still trying to decide if I liked it or not...I mean, I like strange things and psychology/crazy people stuff but I'm not so sure about the Black Swan mess. And Natalie Portman won an oscar for that? All she did was act like a high strung obsessive person. They didn't show enough dancing scences for me to get why they decided she would be the best one to dance the swan parts.

I donno. I'm still thinking on this...

I just attended a lecture on this yesterday. I wasn't sure I'd ever see this movie anyway, but the speaker provided all the spoilers in both words & images, so now I have even less of a desire to sit through it.

I just finished watching An Englishman In New York. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would disagree and criticize it, but I thought the movie was one of the best pieces of art I've seen in a very long time. I found it to be extremely provocative and empowering. And I've always loved the Sting song of the same name... I never knew it was about Quentin Crisp, or who he even was. It's very neat to have the story behind a song I love... and have the story be way better than I could have imagined.

The movie also churned up the issue of art in my mind. It seems to me like the last decade where the boundaries of art were pushed were the 1980s (think Keith Haring, Robert Mapplethorpe, etc). Where is the very leading edge of art occurring these days? Where is the innovation? Music, fashion, architecture, and movies seem to be stuck in a recycling mode. I honestly cannot pinpoint a medium or movement which I would think is currently on the forefront. Like Quentin himself said: "There is no post modernism. I believe that once there was modernism and it ended. Now there is only decline and decay."

Last night I watched "Dreamcatcher" based on the Stephen King novel.

Not as good as the book, but as a BIG Stephen King fan, I loved it!

I got the new Harry Potter for Easter in place of an Egg (I hate Chocolate) so I watched that yesterday. I did intend to watch the first one today as I'm feeling nostalgic, but as of yet it's still sitting neglected atop my television as I can't work up the will to move haha!

I recently got that as well but haven't watched it yet. I'll always be one of those annoying fans that pick apart a movie based on a book I really love. "That didn't happen"! is usually shouted at the television.


Last night I watched Heaven & Hell: Live At Radio City Music Hall. Ah, Dio. I still miss you.
