All Consuming : SeattleRain

Didn't think I'd like this...

by Stanley Kubrick

My husband and his friends have been quoting this and talking about it for as long as I’ve known them. When I found out about the American Film Institute’s 100 greatest list I decided that I wanted to see every one of them. One of the items on the list was this one. My husband advised me not to see it, it was too messed up and I had already revealed to him that the biggest fear in most women is being raped. I told him I would anyway, just because it was on the list. I started watching it bracing myself for what I knew was to come, and with the mindset that I was likely going to hate it because of the content. I had no idea that I would actually like it. I wouldn’t call it amazing, or awesome, but there was something about the overall eerie quality of the film that I actually enjoyed. In spite of the fact that the ultra-violence and the raped made me feel as sick as Alex did after his treatment, I thought the movie was phenomenal, and a cinematic genius. I’d definitely recommend it to a friend but I would strongly advise not to watch it alone, especially if you are female.

On the Waterfront (Special Edition)

one of the best mob movies I’ve seen in awhile. I like how it wasn’t from the usually perspective of the head of the mafia but rather from someone who fought the mob and won.

Gone With the Wind (Two-Disc Special Edition)

by George Cukor

If this movie wasn’t four hours long I’d watch it every day. I have to see it once every couple years (preferrable 1-2 times a year though) and I never get tired of it.

A story about "Evan Almighty"

Evan Almighty

I didn’t think it was that interesting.

A review of "Ella Enchanted (Full Screen Edition)"

Ella Enchanted (Full Screen Edition)

Probably one of the best twists to a Cinderella story I’ve seen. Well worth seeing.

If you haven't seen this by now you need to get out from under that rock

Wayne's World

Because it’s freaking awesome. One of the best movies ever.

I could write my life story using nothing but Ataris music.

So Long, Astoria

by The Ataris

When I first got this cd I was 18 and at a very restless point in my life. I would often listen to this cd over and over again and live every word of every song on this cd—just runaway and do nothing but create memories to look back on. I’m 21 now and have lived this music. I have no regrets.

Still my favorite...

End Is Forever

by The Ataris

First Entry! I feel Special now. ;)
I was introduced to the Ataris back in 2004. Four Years later and they are still my favorite band. Ever. End is Forever has been and will always be on my top two Ataris cds. My favorite song is our song, “IOU ONe Galaxy.”

A review of "Skinny Bitch"

Skinny Bitch

by Kim Barnouin

Extremely vulgar, and I’ve noticed that I’ve been swearing more since I read it (normally that’s something I wouldn’t even consider doing) but I liked the message and really think that veganism is going to help with my reproductive/weight problems. Time will show.

The Public Enemy

I liked it but give me the Godfather any day over this one.

one of my favorite DCOM's (rated 5 stars)

High School Musical

by Kenny Ortega

I usually enjoy Disney Channel Original Movies, but I downright loved this one! It’s funny how Disney has been producing a bunch of crap movies on the big screen lately that haven’t had a trace of the signature “Disney Magic” in it (Chicken Little, Brother Bear, Home on the Range, etc.) but this had some! Hubby and I loved it, and he’s not one to like musicals as much as he did this one.

A story about "The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)"
