I was late for blogging this morning because I was up all night watching movies, blissfully alone. I bought an apple pie and made a pot of coffee. The pie sucked, but, for once all the movies were kick ass.*
Marley And Me..so sweet. I liked it a lot and it was nice seeing Owen Wilson act normal.

Iowa..local meth heads cooking up trouble on a grand scale. Looked like home. Had a kind of ..David Lynch-y feel to it. Surreal, yet too real. It didn't pander to the stupid, things were not explained to death, you were supposed to just know what they were doing. Good. There's too many explanations for the stupid these days. I liked it.

Normal..a tale of ordinary people who's lives were all touched by the same tragedy, a car wreck. It held my interest.

Snow Angels..OMFG. The clear winner of the night, maybe the year. Kate Beckinsale should win an Oscar for this. And Sam Rockwell too. If you've ever done anything you're ashamed of. If you've ever betrayed a friend. If you've ever been involved with an unstable partner. If you've ever been frustrated by your children. If you've ever trusted God. You have to watch this. You won't yell at your kid for a week. Crabbie, please watch this and do a proper review, please? I can't do it justice. I know I can't stand Beckinsale, but, this time..she needs an Oscar. I watched it twice and I never do that.

Oh, I just checked the Snow Angels site and it said it was a 2008 movie. It just came in as a new release here. Fucking hick place! I'd never heard of it. If you've never seen it either, then get it. It's worth 10 times the price of admission. And, I'd still like a crabbie review.

We got this (Snow Angels) through Netflix a few months ago - I fell asleep and my husband stayed up and watched it. He is STILL talking about it. It really struck a chord with him. Maybe I need to put it back on the queue and watch it myself.

You do, for sure. I am still reeling from it.
Without giving anything away, after watching the trailor i've got a sinking feeling that it't got one of those surealistic crappy endings. The ones where your left gritting your teeth and bemoaning why you invested 2 hours in the emotional let down. Is it THAT kind of ending?
No.
She is such an ugly woman without makeup. I read a few months ago in an article about her that she loved her own snatch, that it was the nicest thing on her, it was a work of art or some shit. Dumb cunt.
You know which one I would like Crabbie to review? For haunting & lingering, try LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. It's a Swedish vampire movie, but like you've never seen one before. I'd like to say it's not so much horrific as it is sweet, being about a forbidden love, but that might attract unwelcome comparisons to Twilight. Best to dive in without knowing anything about it.
I think it's an absolutely marvelous piece of cinema, a masterpiece bound to stay with you for a long while.
Will my 17 year old son bitch and whine when I make him watch this with me?
I've seen Let The Right On In, it was sweet. And very odd, but, compelling.
No, Dawn, your son will like it because there's a side plot involving two adorable "nerdish" teenagers who find love and have their first sexual encounter. With each other, not creepy adults..lol.
