(no subject)

So... long weekend. What a rare, precious thing. *sigh* We had early close at work yesterday (and this time my boss didn't insist on me starting one hour earlier than usual because of that, I might point out), so I spent the evening catching up with my teacher friend (the same one I saw last weekend, but we still had lots of catching up left to do, lol), who made me watch the first two episodes of True Blood (she is a serious vampire lover who has a cat named Buffy, btw ;). It was entertaining enough, even if I don't really see myself becoming a hardcore fan.:P Next time we're watching Alatriste (I'm NOT forcing it on her - she asked if I had the DVD, lol).

But speaking of movies - there is this cool 'movie journal' format for reviewing, which I have stolen from crimsonsenya. Apparently there are actual print journals like that, though I don't think I've even seen one. Anyway... it makes much more sense to do it online, so other people can read if they so choose. And it will make my movie gushing more 'organized' and easier to follow, should anyone wish to (or should I wish to go back and look up a certain film several years later, for example). So I might try to post about some movies I have seen over the past few months/years and somehow never got to mention here. I just looked up my Netflix list of highest rated titles, and I don't know where to start.:) So this may seem like a random pick. But it is, undoubtedly, one of the highest cinematic achievements I have ever seen.
