they say he's got a healing machine that glows in the dark

i've been a bit delinquent in keeping track of my movie watching the past few weeks. i'll have to go from memory as best i can...
gray gardens (wow. seriously, wow.)
without a paddle (to indulge my matthew lillard crush)
saw
ghengis blues (brilliant!)
we don't live here anymore
alien vs. predator (why oh why did i do that?)
the core ( a cable obsession of mine of late. i can't help but find it entertaining --esp. the shuttle crash landing scene, the music is the key to it's brilliance-- and i will watch hillary swank any chance i get)
a documentary on north korea--the name escapes me (i'll try to find out and revise). tons of footage from within the country-- i don't think there is a spookier place on earth....except perhaps chernobyl.
shaun of the dead, which i now own.
goodfellas (for the 20,000 time)

i desperately want to see "no one knows". perhaps it will make it to theaters here.

i know i've seen more movies then this in the last few weeks, but i simply can't remember them all. the whole point of this blog is so that i can keep track. guess i'll have to blog a little better.

rereading "Wintering, a Novel of Sylvia Plath" and still reading "Oracle Night".

listening to tori amos' "Scarlet's Walk" non-stop.

days just ticking by

movies of late:
ju-rei, the uncanny (did i spell that right?) BRILLIANT camera work, brave & wonderful sense of time on the director's part. actual story...so-so.
taxi driver
the forgotten
the village
zero effect
bringing out the dead (again)
film (beckett & buster keaton!)

listening to: kathleen edwards, "failer" (one of my old stand-bys)
