"Saw V", I was basically forced to watch it because my annoying friend kept pestering me to watch it with her. So I did, it was a pile of merde.

Inception. Amazing film.

***SPOILER ALERT***

I wonder if the world is really real or not at the end? It started shaking, and it didn't even do that before, hmm...

***END OF SPOILERS***

I do hope there's a sequel :)

Amadeus - My mom recommended it to me since she knows I like period dramas. It completely exceeded my expectations. In the very beginning I sympathized with Salieri because I know what it's like to feel jealous of people who are more talented. Initially I didn't know what to make of Mozart. I was expecting the world's greatest composer to be serious and no-nonsense, but instead he reminded me a little of Drop Dead Fred in a powdered wig. Which isn't a bad thing in my book. :) By the end of the film I absolutely adored Mozart and hated Salieri. The film taught me that I shouldn't let bitterness and jealousy take me over because I don't want to be like Salieri. I'd much rather be like Mozart - fun-loving, humorous and carefree.


The stage play was better.

You might also like Milos Forman's "Valmont" which is his take on "Dangerous Liasions" It has a similarly lush period art direction and treats the characters with more sympathy and complexity than the original book.

As for films I've seen recently, "Close Up" which is a Iranian film about a con man who passed himself off as a film director. What is interesting is the film uses the actual people from the real events. It's a nice little film about a man's failed dreams and contrition and forgiveness.

Yep, "Inception" I really liked. People said they found it confusing - it made perfect sense to me.

The only people who say that are the ones who weren't paying attention.

I watched "Employee of the Month" & "Balls of Furry" on Comedy Central the other nite. I saw both in theaters when they came out. I worked in retail & Employee of the Month was NOT like my experiences with WalMart all :x thou some people I've worked with have compared me to that blind guy with glasses cuz I have vision problems myself but I'm NOT that blind; pretty funny movie. Balls of Furry is pretty good to cuz it sounds like a porno tittle but it's really about a ping-pong completion that some mob boss is involved in. Both are really stupid movies

I saw Toy Story 3, and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby most of the way through. It's probably so emotional because of the 15 year bond everyone feels with the characters. It's very sad to know that it's the end of Buzz and Woody. Anybody else been to see Toy Story 3? I would say it rivals Avatar at the moment.

I've watched A Clockwork Orange, Se7en, and Almost Famous over the past few days. I loved all of them, and I think A Clockwork Orange and Almost Famous may be two of my all time favorites
