[Salty Lips - Sahara Hotnights]

So this week was very very BORING, I did manage to download/ borrow movies to occupy my time and that really went very well. But other then that - OMGHOWCANANYONESTAYATHOMETHISMUCH??

Ok, enough of whining, here's what I've managed to watch this week.

1) The Last King of Scotland

Disturbing as hell. Superb acting. Very moving. Do not watch on a full stomach. Totally deserving of the Oscar he won for Best Actor. Easily one of the best movies I've watched on psychotic & tyrannical dictator-type leadership.

2) Stranger then Fiction

Oh Will Ferrell, I love you. My fav comedian can do no wrong (well, other then Talladega Nights, I shall forgive you for that) this is not one of those slapstick, laugh out loud kind of comedies, which is why I like it. It's a little bit dark, a little bit kooky and very endearing. I adore the Sims like set up they had in some parts of the movie and I thought that Maggie Gyllenhaal looked really good in this movie - she actually looked pretty.

3) The Fountain

Hugh Jackman, oh Hugh, sigh. This is a beautiful, abstract movie. THIS is what an abstract movie is supposed to be like, making you reflect upon love and life, making you wonder what it would be like to feel so strongly for someone. Its about the journey of this man (HOT HOT HUGH) and the love for his wife, its got some really beautiful shots and a really hot scene involving Hugh and a bathtub. Need I say more?

4) A Clockwork Orange

I've been wanting to watch this movie for AGES, and I finally managed to get my paws on it. Totally worth the wait, it was fantastic. Sick, twisted, good dose of classical music and extremely good acting. I want some of that milk. Its one of those legendary movies that everyone has to watch just because it's so iconic, controversial and altogether marvelous.

5) Donnie Darko

Oh Jakey poo, so freaking sinister and sexy. I love, I love. Another movie that I've heard alot about, and now I know why. It was fantastic (: Another must watch.

6) Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights

Out of all the movies that I watched this week, the acting in this one was the crappiest. This is one of Diego Luna's first English films, and Romola is really new to acting, and it shows. BUT the dancing, oh my, the dancing. Like sex on the dance floor, they have great chemistry. After watching So You Think You Can Dance, dancing in movies started to look really cheesy and crappy but this movie wasn't dissapointing in the dancing department. Srsly. So, to save 1 1/2 hrs of your life, just watch this clip - it has all the dancing in it :D hot hot dancing.



Jules: Do not insult hotness, you think Malfoy is hot. You have no rights in the hotness department.
Anon: Thanks!
