I got pulled into "The Ugly Truth" tonight, and besides almost dying from the awful jokes, the amount of 15-year-old girls laughing at the dumbest sh*t, or 40+ women laughing at the same thing, the piece of garbage nearly did me in.

I saw Orphan yesterday. It was a great flick. Plenty o' blood, good story (with a pretty cool ending), and the girl playing Esther did agreat job acting, and with the accent. I reccomend this film very, very much.

On dvd, Evil Dead II. Just as cheesy and awesome as I remember.

Dude gets around.
I believe he's in Harry Potter too. Plays Mr Flitwick and the main bank goblin in SS. I think.

I skimmed passed that. I was taught to read the first couple of words and the last couple of words in a sentence, as well as the first couple of paragraphs and the last couple of paragraphs in a report, or the first couple of chapters and the last couple of chapters in the book to save time. Nothing to do with reading comprehension. Of course, if it's something that interests me, then yeah, I'll read it word for word!

I watched DB: Evolution again, and still isn't that bad. Entertaining for what it is.

Public Enemies. It was boring and self-indulgent. Instead of allowing you to actually get into the characters and story (not that there was much), the movie instead decided to beat you over the head with them for far longer than it had any right to. And of course, it still ended abruptly. Bah.

Funny People

It felt like 2 movies crammed together. The first half was hilarious and very typical Apatow fair, while the second half was depressing and anti-climactic. It felt longer than it was (2.5 hours).
