Movie Night!
Sara and I went over Greg’s tonight for a movie night. I <3 Greg and his gay movies. So. Movies:
Broken Heart’s Club - Sweet movie. About a group of friends and their various problems and relationships. It was fun, and entertaining, and Benji was really cute. Quite good. Definitley worth seeing.
Common Ground - About a town: Homer, Conneticut, and three stories that take place in it. The first, set around the 50’s, is about a girl that gets discharged from the Navy under Section 8, meaning she was a lesbian, or suspected of being one. The second, set in the 70’s (I think) is about a kid in high school sort of coming out and getting beat up over it, and his French teacher. The third is about two guys that get married and the issues one of them has with his father. Also a good movie, but it felt a bit like something they’d show you in health class while doing the chapter on “alternative lifestyles.”
Lost and Delirious - Oh dear god. Best. Movie. Ever. Everyone should see it. I hated the “main” character, Mary, but the movie was amazing. I can’t even explain it. I love it when desperate characters quote Shakespeare at other characters in that anguished voice. It’s set in a girl’s boarding school, where the main character is sent. Her two room mates are in love, but it’s really not a happy movie. At all. Because Tori is a weak person. I hate it when people are weak like that. And Polly (Paulie?) just became some sort of.. elemental force by the end of the movie. It was like she was boiled down to her essence, and it was incredibly powerful. And! It had Ani on the soundtrack (You Had Time), which was supercool.
All Over the Guy - Romantic comedy. It was cute, about two guys who get fixed up by their friends. One’s an alcoholic, one’s really anal, chaos ensues. You get the picture.
