Movies

We watched The House Bunny tonight. The trailer looked like it would be funny, and it was right. Both Anna Faris and Emma Stone were really funny and have great delivery. Emma Stone was like a bunch of great comedic actors rolled into one. And Anna Faris is not hard on the eyes at all, even though she never seems to be naked. The movie lost a few points when it stooped to teenage chick movie cliches like choreographed scenes (camera dollies across the girls, who each do [action] in sequence in time to music). Either it was making fun of that genre but didn't make that point, or they really did it for the 13-year old girls in the audience.

I also forgot to mention a really good movie we watched a while back, Son of Rambow. It's a really well–made movie about 2 kids; one so fucked up by a weird religion that he has to retreat into his own imagination to find any happiness in life. Then he meets another kid who's so fucked up by a shitty family that he bullies the wimpy little god–kid. They film their own version of First Blood and become best friends. Sounds weird, eh? Perhaps, but it's very touching and enjoyable. Many times more enjoyable than The Dark Knight.
