Favourite Quote

The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. J.R.R. Tolkien

More Movies!

That's right, I'm on a movie watching kick this weekend.

When I dropped off the first three movies of the weekend, I picked up three more. 'The Devil Wears Prada', 'Alpha Dog' and 'Elephant'. I was surprisingly happy with prada. I didn't have any expectations going in and was just hoping for something fun, which it was. The clothing was great and really made me wish I was a size 4 (and not 4'11" :). Elephant was not my cup of tea. Not sure if I was just not in the mood or what, but it just didn't hold my attention (which I know it should have). Lisa loved it and it won at Cannes. It's got a Columbine thing going on. Just not sure why I didn't like it.

Now, Alpha Dog. Maybe this was what I was in the mood for, but it really held my attention. Justin Timberlake was excellent as was Emile Hirsch (who I've liked since Dogtown and can't wait to see in 'Into the Wild'). It reminded me of some of the books I read in high school when I was in my heavy metal phase. There was this book called 'Say You Love Satan'. It had that same kind of feel of how things just get way out of control.

Tara and I attempted to go see 'Atonement' tonight, but it was sold out. Instead we went to see 'Juno'. Unfortunately, we could only get seats in the front row. That sucked. But, the movie was awesome. I love Ellen Page (you must see Hard Candy) and Michael Cera (as mentioned earlier this weekend). It was so cute and hilarious! Go see this movie.
