Movies

Before Sunrise - 4.5/5

Absolutely amazing. I loved it. It wasn't too sad or happy or any of those things... just good. There was something about Ethan Hawke and Judy Delpy's chemistry and dialogue that just seemed so real and appealing. Definitely makes my favorites movies list.



Life is Beautiful - 3/5

I know everyone and their grandmother loves this movie but... I don't know. It was alright. Cute... maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a nice Holocaust flick. Also, I have no heart and I'm generally lacking in the emotions department.




Empire of the Sun - 4/5

Great movie. One of Spielberg's least remembered films, but definitely one of his greatest. Christian Bale did a great job in the role of Jim. What a great movie. A little too long, though.




The Virgin Suicides - 3.5/5

I don't care what anyone else says, Sofia Coppola can make a darn good movie. I loved Lost in Translation (haven't seen Marie Antoinette...) and I loved this. I just liked the film a bit more than the actual plotline and script. Which is perfectly acceptable in my book.




Lucas - 3.5/5

What a sweet movie. If I was a teenager in the 80s other than a young child, I would totally have a crush on Corey Haim. He was such a cute little thing! Ahem. The movie was a bit too saccharine for my taste, but it worked. I miss 80s movies.




The Science of Sleep - 3.5/5

I knew this movie was by Michel Gondry, who did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, so I knew it had to be at least pretty good. I liked it... not as much as Eternal Sunshine (which is one of the most gorgeous, if not the most gorgeous, films I've ever seen) but still a lot.

American Graffiti - 2.5/5

I... was sort of underwhelmed by this. I've been hearing about it for years, and I really didn't get that into it. The best storyline, in my opinion, was the one with Mackenzie Phillips. Funny stuff.
