More Movies

So, last weekend I went and saw National Treasure II: Book of Secrets. I learned something: Helen Mirren has very large breasts, something I am quite qualified to judge based on how many times she almost fell out during the movie. That said, she's a beautiful woman and a remarkable actress, so I can hold my peace. As for the movie itself...eh...no. Can't say that I really liked it. It lacked something that the first one had...oh, what was it..? Oh, I remember: SEAN BEAN. And a decent plot. 'Nuff said.

Last night I went and saw Juno. I liked it, although the language really got to me. There's only so many groovy, quirky slurs on the English language than I can tolerate, and this movie pushed my limit. But it was funny, and it made me cry at the end, and, like I said...it's a good movie. Of greater interest was the fact that both of the hot Union Activities Board guys were there last night. One was selling tickets and one was checking them at the door. Sweet. The one at the door has this really intense, serious, piercing gaze that is both awesome and unsettling at the same time. I've seen him around campus a lot, and he always looks at me (and everyone else around at the time too) with that same look - and I have to say it exponentially increases his hot/mysterious factor. I'm tempted to go see Juno again tonight just to get another look at him, but I have other plans.

Those plans involve taking me, myself, I, and my Sweeney Todd soundtrack to the Cinema at North Hills to go see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. It's got Ciaran Hinds, and I think he's going to play the romantic lead, which is almost as awesome as Alan Rickman getting the girl in the end in Sense and Sensibility - both are distinguished actors, but both either end up getting killed in the end of a movie, or they live, but they're still the bad guys. This film will be a welcome relief.
