Movies I watched lately..... part 2

Second installment. Just keeping my ideas out there, and possible movies for people to watch.

Losing Chase

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3dlKaCPCI8

In this movie, many scenery shots were done of the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard. There was a pretty slow progression of events.
This movie deals with the fluid concept of sanity, and the difficult coming to terms of affection and new feelings in a new experience.
It shows the way a new love and relationship can bring you to life after so many years of internal death. It also shows the slow development of a relationship and two people’s fascination for each other.
Good camera angles and shots were used. A pleasant movie. Not bad to watch. I will probably remember this movie for a while, but I am not sure if I would watch it again. The music was very good though. I would recommend this movie to watch though, because while the plot is not too strong, the performances by the actors are memorable.

Pourquoi pas moi? (What About Me?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aVih2d0jk0

“Four gay French expatriots share a business in Barcelona. When they and their parents are thrown together for a "coming out" party, another French Farce ensues.” ~IMDB

This funny French film released in 1999 is a treasure. Well for me at least. It is fun, has a cast of great actors and actresses, the chemistry between characters is superb, and the flow of the film in general is a treat.
Something about this film struck me and will not soon leave me. Maybe it’s the charismatic, slightly sluttish, and beautiful Eva (my personal favorite), the outspoken, intelligent, and elegant Adriane, or the rambunctious and sadly straight Lilli. The characters are a blast, and bring you into their world. Maybe you wouldn’t like this movie, but for me, me being a fan of foreign films, lesbian/gay movies, and comedies, this movie clicked.

**** out of *****.

Better Than Chocolate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_LwSr25Rkc

I do not need to say much, for most people have already seen this movie and know how amazing it is. Some moments it makes you laugh, some moments it makes you hot, and some, make you cry.
It has all the unforgettable characters: The soft spoken and endearing Francis, the flamboyant and “I’m not a fucking drag queen” Judy, so fucking adorable Kim and Maggie, and no one can forget Maggie’s mother.
And I think that sex will always be better than chocolate. Just saying.

For those who haven't seen it:
"Two attractive young lesbians, Maggie and Kim, meet in Vancouver, develop a passionate romance, and move in together. Meanwhile, Maggie's well-meaning but naive mother Lila gets divorced and decides to move to Vancouver and join the household. Soon after, Lila is befriended by Judy, a transsexual about to undergo a sex-change operation. Complications ensue as the conservative Lila learns the truth about Maggie, Judy, and their diverse group of friends."~suelaneri

Movies I watched lately..... part 1

I am a movie buff, going to school and learning about making movies. Hopefully going to a film school when I'm done with high school. So, you can see where I place movies in my life. Towards the top. :)

So... movies I have watched recently on the wonderful invention of Youtube.

Novembermond
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW3O2i-psLE

"A Parisian woman, Férial, meets and falls in love with November, a Jewish refugee from Berlin, and takes great personal risks to hide and protect her lover from the Nazis. Also deals with the complex political issues and ethical dilemmas faced by the people living in Vichy France, and depicts acts of cruelty and and acts of self-sacrifice and courage on both sides of the conflict. While it emphasizes the suffering of the French under heavy-handed Nazi rule, the film does not shrink from revealing the treachery of French politicians who sold out their own country, and French citizens who collaborated with the enemy and turned in their neighbors to the Gestapo for harboring Jews." (1985)

Deep, a movie for patient people. Definitely not a thriller or suspense flick. Good for an old movie. Depressing, but still good. Stays with you.
**** out of *****.

Two Mothers For Zachary

You know that chick we always see on Jenny Craig commercials? Valerie Burtenelli? I never knew she was an actress, and then I recently saw this movie made in the 1990's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HseqqJDpf1g

Based on the true story of Sharon Bottoms who lost custody of her son in a Virginia courtroom when her own mother successfully sued for custody on the grounds that being a lesbian made her unfit to be a mother. Irony at the end, he does end up with two mothers.

Old VHS rip - very low quality

Touching, and keeps you going. Good, with an irony at the end. Disappointing, and a tear jerker. Still good. ***out of *****.

Becoming Jane

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XkR5LuL78c

Sorry for the Spanish subtitles but this was the only version online that had the entire movie.

Movie was good, slow, but good. ** out of *****.

Dan in Real Life

Couldn't find any online sources. But I really liked this movie. Through out it, I found myself continually saying, "Poor Dan." Also I absolutely love Juliette Binoche in this. She is one of my favorite French actresses.

****out of *****.

Disco Pigs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LTL_P44Wp0

Loved it. A little creepy, and unstable, but a movie I will not soon forget. I would willingly watch this over again. Thanks a shitload to toreador for recommending this movie. ****out of *****.

“It's titled: Disco Pigs and it is an Irish fim that was released in 2001. It is a story of a guy and a girl who've live next door to each other and have shared a telepathic link since birth. It features Cillian Murphy in his first leading role, and Elaine Cassidy.
Now, it has to be said, this movie is a shambling, sloppy mess. When it comes to plot and character development, it's shoddy all around. Cliches are placed everywhere. There are many instances where it is difficult to suspend disbelief. And because of their very thick Cork accents it's hard to follow the dialogue most of the time. Combine that with the special baby-talk language shared between the two main characters and it could be impossible to hear what is being said if you're not used to hearing accents. And to spoil it all, it ends badly. People die.
But there are a few very sweet and whimsical moments scattered throughout and both of the leads do well with what they're given.”

I guess that is all till next time. Thanks for reading. (if anyone even read this) :)

Lovafesmic

Okay. Today, other than my disfunctional friends and my girl problems that have seemed to clear up with the help of all of you guys (thnx again. =}), I watched the movie "Atonement".
Then I went shopping with my mom and I got my first body pillow. The thing is like the softest thing on earth. I was sitting with it on the couch and I felt so, what's the word? Loved? Safe? Orgasmic? I guess all three combined would do just fine. Lovafesmic. :)
And I REALLY do need some advice on my friend who keeps hitting on me. I act completely platonic, no flirting or anything, and she keeps coming onto me. Like we were at an assembly, and she whispered my name in my ear. I turn to look at her and she just smiles and puts her head on my shoulder. I immediately stiffen, because I'm not attracted to her like that at all. She eventually lifted her head to talk to someone, and I shifted my body so that it would be extremely uncomfortable for her to put her head there again. I felt bad for doing so, but I've already told her I just like her as a friend. What to do?

I'm losing my mind, along with Annie

"NO HELP! YOU ARE NO HELP AT ALL!!!" She screamed as she ran into her house.

Okay that wasn't random, it had a purpose. The perfect pair, Annie and Dannie (i know! isn't that fucking adorable?!), had their first fight. It was over the smallest thing imaginable to fight over. A rock. A rock stuck in Annie's shoe.
Pretty much, we were on a hike at around 9ish this morning. We were going through paths that probably weren't tread on in like, 5 months. It was awesome. As we were nearing the end, Annie fell down a small slope. Dannie screamed and ran down after her. Annie was fine, except for a scrape on her elbow, and the rock in her shoe. Also, there was a little blood on the seat of her pants, but that was only because she had her period.
So, Annie was a little pissy and I couldn't blame her, i mean falling down a slope and having your period, I'd be pissed off too. Anyway, by the time we were at Annie's house, the rock in her shoe was really bothering her. She started to complain a little louder, and then she started to get really mad. She was yelling at Dannie to help her, but Dannie was at a loss. Annie then got really mad and said the line at the beginning of this post and ran into her house. Dannie was extremely confused and we went back to my house. Annie called about half an hour later and apologized to Dannie. Everything is okay, Dannie went back to her house and they made up and all. They probably had some hot lesbian make up sex. :) I actually wouldn't put it past them.

Okay, now for my life. There is this girl on my bus who I'm like really attracted to. She is really cute. She's a year older than me, probably straight, and the only thing I know about her is her name: Evee? I don't even know how to spell it. I know you say it: E-V. Like the pokemon character! Anyway, She is really cute, but she is always talking with this idiotic guy in my grade so I don't know if she is straight or not. If she is bi or les, I WANT HER. Well, first she has to like me, and first she has to talk to me. Man I feel pathetic. God, I'm hopeless! and I don't have a very aggressive personality, so I can't just go up to her and talk to her. I feel like I'm stuck in a situation void of ways out.
And not to mention that my friend is like hitting on me constantly, and I just like her as a friend, and another one of my friends is on the rebound since her girlfriend moved to california. COMPLICATIONS!!!!!!

Awwwww.

"Time seems to slow when you're not here. It's like a day turns into 9, and your face nevers leaves my brain. My heart clenches when you call, and body is set on fire when you touch me. When you kiss me, I swear I might pass out. The distance between us is small, but I feel as if you are on the other side of the world. You never cease to amaze me, and when you smile the room is lit up like a big ol' pumpkin at halloween. Your laugh is like bells ringing in my ears, and your skin against mine, words cannot even describe. If I have not already made it clear, I love you. I always have. I always will. Without you, my life is dull and dark. I know this may sound corny but, you really do light up my life. Now I know what all those love songs on the radio mean for once. I'll stop babbling and let you get back to class. I love you. More than you know. Happy Birthday to you and Happy Anniversary to me."

When I first read that, I just about peed myself. You are probably thinking that this note was sent to me. Unfortunetly, no. This is a note that my friend Annie found in her locker on Wednesday. Annie lives in my neighborhood, but goes to a different school. Anyway, she recieved this note from her girlfriend. See, they started going out about 2 years ago, and are still going out to this day, with no breaks. When you see them together, it's so sickeningly sweet. But, it was her birthday wednesday, and also their anniversary. Officially two years.
So, I just wanted to share a little bit of their love with the world. If only we could ALL have love like that. Most of you probably already have that, but I know I don't. SO, I will stop feeling bad for myself right now. :)

ANGRY BOY WITH PROBLEMS EPISODE 1

Okay. I pretty much fucked up the whole site and post thingies. I am SO sorry. (an amateur mistake I must admit) I felt really bad, and I am here to make it better.
Okay, my solution since I have no possible way of making these things smaller, I will just give you the link thingy and then you can read them on my photobucket account. I think this will be a better and happier solution for all.

Episode 1

GAH!

Girl Troubles. Those two words have stricken fear into the hearts of men and women for, practically forever. Well, girl troubles doesn't really even cover me because I have some guy troubles thrown in as well. So I'm in the middle of some Guy and Girl Troubles.
WELL, my girlfriend, who I believe never really even liked me at all, broke up with me a while back. (no, i don't say that to feel sorry for myself. i say it because it is the truth.) I thought I was fine, acted like I was fine. But that was like my first real relationship. And that will always leave a lasting imprint on you, no matter what you say. (even if you forget and don't remember it.) So, recently I realized that, "Man! I feel suckish!" And there is just something about her that peeves me. I have no idea why. It just does. So, yeah.
THEN, the ass wipe of a guy that I didn't talk to for a while because he spread a bunch of rumors around the school about my best guy friend, is now talking to me again for some unexplained reason. I guess my frosty demeanor wore off, and I acknowledged his existence which was good enough for him. SO now I have the pest on the bus staring at me and making moves on me. I DON'T LIKE HIM. He pretty much disgusts me. I can bear him, but not EVER in a relationship and barely in a social scenario. I don't know, my feelings on him are mixed since I used to like him and then I realized what a complete idiot he was.
NOW, one of my friends just realized maybe a couple of weeks ago that she is bi, and now she told me that she likes me. I ONLY like her as a friend and just wanna stay that way. She is the easiest thing that I am going through. I will just remain in a friendly manner. Nothing more, nothing less. I guess that is all I have to rant about.

Soooooo................ yeah. Love you guys! Thanks for listening to me complain so much. ~Jess

(P.S. Check out my comic series "Angry Boy with Problems" that I have been drawing for awhile but just decided to put online. It will be in journal posts or something and also, it might be on myspace but it is being fucked up right now.)
