Last night I rented Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas starring Patrick Fugit, Matthew Lillard & John Cho. Absolutely fantastic movie that I would recommend to anyone at all, no matter what kind of movies you like.

I also watched Brothers of the Head recently, another awesome movie about conjoined twins who get swept away from their remote Norfolk home by a rich producer-type who sets them up as a musical act in '74-'75 and has to be seen to be believed. I just cannot describe this movie in words. The soundtrack is just ultra-searing punk rock in its purest form.

I just saw Hide and go Die: The Kirby Whepler Story on Lifetime. I gotta tell you, when I saw her hiding spot I KNEW that bitch was dead. Title did give me a hint, though.

Had a Jason movie marathon yesterday with Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, which were all mostly OK. I'll be meeting Kane Hodder next month, so I figured I watch three of the four Friday the 13th movies he was in and see how he portrayed Jason.

After all those, I watched Evil Dead 2, which is always good fun. I'd say it's my favorite of the Evil Dead movies.

Then I watched Harvey, which was great. Jimmy Stewart's performance was right up there with his performance in the Hitchcock film Vertigo.

Watched Awakening of the Beast last night, which was a nice kind of tie-in to the Coffin Joe films. It may've been somewhat of a departure from At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul and This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse, but I don't regret watching it.

I watched A Scanner Darkly at a friends the other night. I may buy the book, even just to make sense of the film.

Finshed up The Cotton Club in my History class today, which was quite good.

I saw Apocalypse Now and Smart People. Apocalypse Now was quite mind f*cking (but still good) and Smart People wasn't as funny as I was hoping.

Just came back from Iron Man. Like most reviews say it's an above-average action flick elevated by a great cast, Downey Jr. in particular. I enjoyed it a lot. Also, stick around until the end of the credits.

Watched Tokyo Drifter last night, which was pretty good. Ever since I saw Fulltime Killer, I've been getting into the more crime drama kind of Asian flicks.

Later, I watched Witchboard, which was some interesting supernatural horror. It had bits and pieces that reminded me of Evil Dead and I liked the fact that there was some humor thrown in.

Watched The Curse of Frankenstein, which, for the first Frankenstein from Hammer, was enjoyable. I liked seeing Peter Cushing take on the role of Victor Frankenstein for his first time and Christopher Lee made for a great monster.

After that, I watch Dr. Phibes Rises Again, which was a decent sequel to The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Even though Vincent Price has passed away, I wouldn't mind seeing another sequel.

Later, I saw Iron Man, which was great. I just thought there could've been more action.

Watched No Such Thing last night, which was pretty good. I liked how the relationship between Sarah Polley's character and the monster played out.

After that, I watched the Brian De Palma film Sisters, which was wonderful. For the most part, it kept me on the edge of my seat.

Iron Man and Harold and Kumar. Iron Man was hot stuff, and Harold and Kumar was funny as sh*t.

Watched May last night, which was a great film directed by Lucky McKee. I don't think I've seen anything like it before.

I saw beer league with Artie Lange from the Howard Stern Show. There were few laughs, but overall it was pretty terrible.

I watched some kung-fu type movie called shogun assasin. It was also terrible. The story was very boring, and while there was a lot of violence, none of the fight scenes were original at all. It was just guy cutting another guy...then light red "blood" squirting out everywhere. It seemed to take itself a little seriously, too.

Iron Man, pretty good movie. In fact it might have been the best comicbook-inspired movie to date imo. But my fiancee and I agreed that we could not stand Stark. He rubbed me the wrong way. Was this intentional, we don't know.
