My dad, his girlfriend and I rented it last night. His girlfriend said that a few of her co-workers said that it was even more grousome than The Strangers and that a few of them couldn’t sleep at night.

So… I said “RENT IT.”
lol

It did make me scream! But it wasn’t at all more horrific than The Strangers, but the ending… that was kind of sick! It reminded me of The Ring.
I gotta admit… I did have to sleep with my closet light on.
lol

I thought it was really good though.

A story about "Linewatch"

Linewatch

by Kevin Bray

It was really good, not expecting this crap at all!

SPOILER

I seriously almost could not watch it all because of when that one gangster told the young gangster to shoot the guys’ kid if he didn’t help them.
That was so messed up.

AND THEN… there was this one part where a guy got shot in the chest, and it was a closeup, and it looked so real.
I am not even kidding here.

SO REAL.

I had to look away and almost could not finish it again!

I really hate stupid movies about gangsters and nonsense shooting, stupid stupid stupid movies like that.
But this one I really liked because it was a small group of gangsters and it had kind of a twist.

Like Hustle and Flow, how there was a twist and it wasn’t all about stupid gangsters because he was really trying to do something neat and there were a lot of characters you wouldn’t expect to see!

Still makes me cringe, but it was a really good movie.

And I don’t like the Cuba Gooding guy, but he was amazing in this movie!

Superbad

by Greg Mottola

WTF

So frickin hilarious, the fat kid… ah, I really wish I knew someone with his sense of humor in real life!

I did not know what this movie was going to be about before I watched it.
For some reason I always thought it was about two guy cops, like ones from Reno: 911, dressed in stupid brown police uniforms, doing stupid things and having something to do with someone called “McLovin” that I’d heard about a couple times (even though it was really just like that haha.

Man, I’m glad I watched it!

That kid, the fat one, he reminds me of that guy in Knocked Up, the fat one.
And I think that guy played one of the cops in this movie, I’m not sure, because he had kind of a beard or mustache and the guy in Knocked Up did not.

Oh well, it’s FUNNY.

I might watch it again in a little bit!

Scary!!! (rated 5 stars)

The Strangers

by Bryan Bertino

OH.

MY.

GOSH.

I am dead serious (lol)... I can not remember the last time a movie made me scream, the type where you’re really scared yourself and your heart is beating really, really fast.

This movie made me scream like that TWICE.

Holy crap, I still can’t get over it, and we finished watching it a couple hours ago.

I don’t know if this is true or not because my dad has a tendancy to make up lies to keep your interest about something or to sound ‘smarter’ about something, but he did tell us that the movie had to be taken out of theaters (or wasn’t ever shown in theaters) because it was too scary.

I gotta admit… because of the last thirty minutes or so, I can kind of believe that!!
Especially the ending, that was kind of sick.

We had to rewind it about five times (literally) because we couldn’t understand what was going on in the beginning, and it was kind of a little slow and a little confusing but we finally understood it and it was just… woah.

And it’s a true story and I just feel so bad for those people!

“Why are you doing this to us?!”

”...because you were home.”

Isn’t that just the saddest thing in the world and the most grousome answer.

There are some pretty messed up people out there.

The Women. (rated 3 stars)

The Women

by Diane English

This was not about what I thought it was going to be about!

But I love Annette Benning!
She’s so classy, she kind of reminds me of Diane Keaton.

(spoiler kind of?)
And I really don’t think that a real woman would’ve reacted the way that she did when she found out he was cheating?
My mom didn’t.
My friends didn’t.
I don’t even remember her crying in the movie.

Sooo… I turned it off about fifty-something minutes in.

lol

I was hoping for something like The First Wives Club!

Thank goodness for free-movie websites so I don’t have to worry about spending money on something I end up not liking!

But Debra Messing acted so much like Grace!! I loved that!
I was kind of waiting for a “what’s this, what’s happening, what’s going on” to pop up somewhere in the background.

LOL

Stuck

by Stuart Gordon

I was not expecting these things to happen in this movie!

At first, when it started, I thought that it was going to be one of those think-really-hard types of movies about a mental patient: Patch Adams meets The Butterfly Effect meets… Psycho.

That kind of film.

It totally suprised me, and… made me cring a LOT!

Although this movie was based on a true story (I had no idea until my dad told me), the ending was not what happened in real life.

In real life, the guy who got caught in the car died and somebody found him.

Just… wow.

I’m glad I saw this!
I’ve never even heard of it before!

And Mena is always a beauty!

Sleeping With the Enemy

by Joseph Ruben

I only caught the last half, but it was pretty good!

I caught myself talking to the movie when she was in disguise and almost ran into him at the water fountain in the old folks home.

“omg!”
“oh nooo, don’t catch her!”

lol

A story about "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"

nobody@allconsuming.net (SecondAvenue) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 20:02:58 GMT

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

by Joel Zwick

Cute movie!

I was switching channels trying to find CourtTV (something about murder cases and October just go hand-in-hand), and I stopped on TNT…

I heard some Greek music and though, “huh. Interesting…”

The movie really wasn’t what I expected (never heard anything about the movie except the title), but it was really good!

I’ll definitely start using Windex for more than my windows.

lol

It was funny!

The Lizzie McGuire Movie

I’ve always loved Hilary Duff.

She’s probably one of the best roll models that anybody could have, boy or girl, young or old.

88 Minutes

by Jon Avnet

I was kind of upset.

Expected a real humdinger from Pacino, but ended up with yellow squash.

Oh well…

Hard to take at first.

Requiem for a Dream

by Darren Aronofsky

About twenty or thirty minutes into the movie, I almost had to shut it off.
I didn’t think that I could handle it.
Too many bad memories started to surface that took me so long to nearly forget.

But I am glad that I finished it.
And it made me glad that I am clean.

At the end, when Mariane was clutching the bag as if it were her long lost love, her only friend, her only hope for tomorrow… that was me one too many times.
It almost made me cry to think of how much I was like each characters in so many similar and different ways.

On a certain level that I might’ve created on my own during my downward spiral, the movie made me miss a few things.
Another reason why I almost had to stop watching it.

Having the only shoulder you feel comfortable enough to cry your heart out on call you a crackwhore is a rude fucking awakening.
I don’t know why the movie made me miss that.

I know that I won’t be watching it again because I don’t want any kind of influences like those.

I still liked it a lot though, regardless.

Two and a half months clean and counting…

talk about the long hard road out of hell.
I’m still in hell, but it’s more like limbo.

I guess.

This is a subject that I could spend forever talking about and sharing.
It helps.

Georgia Rule

My ass after I’ve eaten a humongous bean feast could put on a better performance than Lindsay Lohan.

This shit better be worth my time.

Come on, Fonda.

Because I Said So (Full Screen Edition)

I always thought, from the time I first saw her in The Godfather when I was really young, that Diane Keaton is the most powerful woman in the world.

She has this… enormous energy that she brings forth in all of her characters, and Because I Said So was another outstanding performance.

^{bravo, bravo!}

I loved the movie!

The only question I have…
I guess it has to do with…
relationships within families…

(spoiler alert if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t read on lol)

The mom ends up marrying her daughter’s boyfriend’s father in the end.

So…

yeah.

Aside from that, I really want to buy this movie and at it to my Keaton Kollection!

lol

I don’t have one in real life.
But in my mind I do!

: )

I love how she had the warm family tones, just like she did in The Family Stone, and in Father of the Bride (I and II) even though they were a little more subtle then.

I’m going to watch it again.
lol

A story about "Vanilla Bean Frappuccino® Blended Crème"

nobody@allconsuming.net (SecondAvenue) — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 21:39:06 GMT

Vanilla Bean Frappuccino® Blended Crème

by Starbucks

I don’t get it.

For so many years, Starbucks has always given me my Venti French Vanilla Frapp (coffee based) with no problem.

Up until about a year and a half ago, I started getting dumbfounded looks… “um… we’re not supposed to, but I can make it, I guess…”

They’ve always had it.

And now whenever I order it, they make me feel like I’m bothering them, or that it’ll be so much more of a hassel.

I tried this “Vanilla Bean” crap, and it’s awful!

Let me say… in the time it takes to make a Vanilla Bean, most of the stores I’ve been to could whip up a VFVF and a half.

SO THERE!

lol

: )

I still order my VFVF, but I just do it really nicely, a big smile, and I sometimes leave a tip.
I’ll start up a little conversation sometimes to distract from me being a “hassel”, like “Oh! Are these new?!”

I still love ya’, Starbucks!

Alright. (rated 3 stars)

Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition)

by Marc Lawrence (II)

It was okay.

It made me laugh a little… but I wouldn’t go as far to say that it was “cheesy”.
Just slow.

I do love Hugh though, and never thought that he would team up with Drew.

Hmm…

I think it’s time to have my bi-annual watch of “About A Boy”.

2008 Republican National Convention

by Republican National Committee

Last night was the first night…
and I guess with all the hurricane commotion, it was delayed, or something like that.

I remember seeing Laura on the television talking about something…

then 10:45 rolls around, and I say, “when’s it going to start?”

And my Aunt June said that they were putting it off some because of the hurricane coverage…

WOW.
I didn’t even realize what I saw was Laura’s “lil speech”.

lol

: P

I just want to tune in to see what they have to say, if it can measure up to the DNC.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself Beginner Books)

by Dr. Seuss

This was my favourite book when I was a kid.
I’d read it over, and over, and over again… and each time felt like the first time!

I think, no matter what kind of book or how many books I read throughout my lifetime, not one will surpass this one.

: )

And I repeat:
