My brother gave me a load of dvds yesterday that I have to watch. Loads of them are films that I've always wanted to see but just have never got around to it.
Maire Antoinette
Brick
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Edukators
Sideways
Thank You For Smoking
The Talented Mr Ripley
Children of Men
The Prestige
Watched Maire Antoinette last night which was really good. Kirsten Dunst was particularly good at portraying a young girl swept up in the grandeur of 18th Century French aristocracy. I liked the way it presented her not as a greedy bitch who didn't give a fuck about the peasantry, but rather as someone who thought the customs were ridiculous but was forced to comply with them (and eventually grew used to them) because she was incredibly lonely and unsatisfied.

- Hallo. This is an alternative place for my largely pointless ramblings. I like Matt Morgan, Flight of the Conchords, sunshine, dresses and crimson red.
