OSCARS post school.

Okay, I was ecstatic when Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor.
I saw both "Milk" and "The Wrestler," and even though I can't deny Rourke's emotional performance, I felt that Penn's was much more deserving. In terms of skill, Penn is the better of the two. His rendition of Harvey Milk was the more labor intensive role.
While Rourke did have to physically modify himself for the role, the character mirrored his life story so intimately that it would he practically portrayed himself.
Penn, on the other hand, immersed himself into the life of a completely different man, in a different time and impeccably brought it to the screen.
I'm just glad that the "comeback" aspect of Rourke's performance didn't push him to the podium.
BUT Rourke did win the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama, so that's good.
I'm just really glad Penn got the Oscar.




HUGH JACKMAN ON THE OTHER HAND IS REALLY PERPLEXING

First, I see him doing this:


then I remember the awesome movie of his coming out soon seen here:

I love how this guy can dance and sing, then work out for four months straight and slice stuff up with his hands. The Wolverine movie looks so amazing, and I really am excited about Gambit's appearance. Also, how awesome is it that they didn't just make an X-Men 4. The studio is mixing things up a little, and I like it

You know in this life you can loose everything you love, everything that loves you.

I saw "The Wrestler."
I was grotesquely grossed out.
but i liked it
The acting was superb, as everyone else has been saying but I also enjoyed the plot. It was touching and revealed a scary world to me that I was unaware of. I don't really know what to say about it that hasn't been said, but I did like it and would recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind blood and nudity. I wouldn't recommend seeing it with a someone you could feel awkward around. BUT SEE IT

moving on, I've been watching a lot of films so

"AMERICAN TEEN" WAS SO HEARTBREAKING AND EMOTIONALLY DRAINING.
it follows a group of seniors during their last year of high school and chronicles all the typical high school stuff, and as a high school student I really related to it. I felt so involved with each of the characters by the end of the film, I was driven by their dreams and hurt by their actions. I don't know, it was weird, but I felt like I knew each of the kids? I'm pretty sure that's what the director, Nannette Burstein, was going for and it definitely makes the movie a lot more enjoyable. I cried a lot. =[

Ok, one more amazing movie I've seen is "Horton Hears a Who."

I was skeptical at first because "Aw man, this is animated it's going to be boring because it's a bunch of baby jokes and Dr. Seuss and blah blah blah," but it was really good. There were certain scenes when I was just cracking up for several minutes. Also, I was really impressed by the religous undertones? Maybe because I'm a good ten years older than the target age group I just couldn't escape the "there is someone bigger than our world who is always protecting us" and the "I believe in that dude, so I'm going to be ridiculed and tortured." It was so interwoven into a cute comedy, and usually I would despise this, but it just made the movie a million times cuter. This is the perfect movie to watch when you are on the verge of a three hour nap after a long morning.
