You're hardly shit fuck boring!

I saw a couple of films this weekend. The first movie I saw was Dive, a TV movie from the UK. The main reason why I watched this was because of Jack O'Connell. He's a great actor, yet he is so young. At times, the movie got really melodramatic with the acting and music, but I actually kind of enjoyed watching it. I especially liked the fact that they just didn't focus on the pregnant girl's story, but also on the boyfriend, showing that it takes two people to get pregnant. Very interesting since you don't see that a lot in movies about teenage pregnancy.

I also saw This is England, another movie I enjoyed watching. I'm not too familiar with the skinhead culture, especially in England, so I learned a little something. However, parts of movie disturbed me quite a bit, which was okay since this film was exploring the ugly side of England. I thought the film was well put together and the actor's pulled off some rather difficult performances.

watching this tonight:

The past couple of days I guess I've been on a bit of a Clive Owen bender, and because of that I'm now in love with the man. Seriously. In LOVE!

So the first Clive film I saw was Beyond Borders. Yeah, if the film had anyone else as the main lead I probably would have shut it off within the first ten minutes. However, Clive just makes films watchable no matter how horrible they may be, and I think he actually saved this film. Well, for me. This wasn't Jolie's best acting work, and I felt she kind of just coasted through this film. Luckily she's done some great films over the past ten years you kind of just forget about her in this train wreck. If it wasn't such a cheesy love story, this film might have actually had a chance of being good. Alas, though, we cannot change the past.

The second film I saw of Clive was an old one, and I actually found it on Google videos called Close My Eyes. I've seen a few films about incest in the past, and what I find to be weird is that it doesn't feel like they're committing an act of incest until it is reminded to the audience that these people are blood related. It worked this way with this film, too. I guess it's a way to touch on a controversial issue without making it really creepy. Either way, it was great. I liked the push and pull relationship between Nathalie and Richard, and I think it kept the audience interested until the very end. Oh, and Alan Rickman is awesome, like always. And, of course, seeing Clive Owen naked was a massive plus.

Just saw Harry Brown the other night. It's a played out story, but the flick is still enjoyable.
