Severance. I totally watched it for Laura Harris. It's like, a British comedy and a slasher flick in the same movie. I like British comedy, and I like slasher flicks, so I was like, "hey. Why the hell not watch it?". So I watched it.
[spoiler]What's more, it's like Final Destination 2, in that my favorite girl doesn't die and in fact butchers everyone who tries to kill her and looks as cute as humanly possible while doing so![/spoiler]
As an added bonus, I got to see Laura Harris holding a shotgun, and even covered with blood and grime she's still pretty. By the way, that image isn't safe for work or people who don't like prosthetic blood.

There be pheasants and penguins and booberry trees between the greenest of skies and the whitest of seas

I have a sudden urge to take you back out and shot you....
Joke aside, i have noticed that i appears that the Twilight saga is here to stay and i can understand that, the ladies need some decent fanservice too but i just have to ask if it have to bee in unison with bad story and a protagonist that show so much strange behavior that you should look her in to the Basket weaver hotel?
I don't say that it is only good fan service For men but i have seen better, and the fact that the word of god have said that she didn't know how a Vampire worked.

Ratatouille (5/5)
Ratatouille is, in my opinion, probably the funniest movie Pixar's ever released, but I'm also fond of their decision to sort of put Critics into perspective and give the movie a different sort of ending than your usual children's film would have. It also helps that the voice cast was phenomenal (PATTON OSWALT FTW) and the visuals were fanastic.

all of today has been spent watching movies with my family, starting with the incredibly bad:
War of the Worlds 2 (A Sci-Fi Original. Horrible writing, acting, concept... All of it. Good movie to mock with a few friends ala MST3k, though.)
Alone in the Dark (Yes, I actually sat through this just because I wanted to at least experience one Uwe Boll movie so I could truly back up my opinion about his films. Wretched movie. Ugh.)
I then had to cleanse my palate with my two favorite movies, Seven Samurai and Ikiru.
Seven Samurai was actually surprisingly a success with my 10 year old brother and even with my mom. They enjoyed the story, became engrossed in the characters, and enjoyed even the bittersweet aftertaste. But Ikiru was a little more difficult for them: despite their enthusiasm with the first hour of the film, the entire wake scene up until it actually gets interesting tested their patience. I had to continuously remind them that there's a payoff to the long, wistful looks Watanabe spends minutes on and the drawn out dialogue, and thankfully in the end they agreed with me about the movie's power and message... However, the general consencus is that apparently American audiences, especially ones influenced by the fast pace of modern films, generally don't enjoy the drawn out and detailed filmmaking that Akira Kurosawa was well known for. I don't think they understood that Kurosawa was trying to express, through as many perspectives and views as he could, life, both as a concept and as a reality. He was using every possible viewpoint he could and presenting it as either very optimistic or bitterly pessimistic, depending on what kind of viewer you are, and that took a lot of dialogue to execute perfectly. Oh well. Either way, it was actually a stunning success; I somehow got my family to enjoy my favorite movies with me! Huzzah!
