some movies i've watched

so, since i don't have anything exciting to talk about, maybe i'll talk about the movies i've watched this week.

i heart huckabees: i really haven't formed an opinion of this one yet. parts of it were very funny and parts were intriguing and overall it was very well-done, but...i just didn't love it. i don't know. mark wahlberg was fucking masterful though.

before sunrise: i only watched this one so that i could watch the sequel, before sunset, because i heard it was much better than the first. so i decided to suffer through the first one - and suffer i did! ethan hawke and julie delpy were both so obnoxious. julie delpy slightly less so i guess - ethan hawke was just a disaster. i mean, he couldn't have been more...bland. just not remarkable or interesting in any way. i mean, this is a very cool concept for a movie i think, and i think that most of us have had a very intense experience like the one they have - but there's just absolutely zero chemistry and they're both boring as hell. boo. anyway, i'm watching the sequel tonight.

bad education (la mala educacion): this one was great. it was directed by Pedro Almodovar, who directed Talk to Her (Hable con Ella), and it was so interesting. i just loved it. it was rated NC-17, which i guess i really don't understand. way less graphic than some R movies i've seen, but since the main characters were gay, i guess that made it more risque somehow. but anyway, it was a great story, well-written and well-acted and i just really liked it.

how about you guys? netflix treating you as well as it's treating me?
