Really not been watching too many film lately, recently watched HARD CANDY starring Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson which stars the younger looking then she is Ellen Page as 14 year old girl meeting a 32 year old photographer played by Patrick Wilson on the internet. She prepares a Screwdriver drink for him at his house and he passes out and accuses him of pedophilia which Wilson denies and she begins to torture him, the film is not too bad, the message is a but muddled in there somewhere but the performances are top notch, also it's never too gory like what the splat pack offer.
Television as been more in my DVD player then anything lately. Dawson's Creek Season Five (must be watching the show in reverse season) was the first season of the show's college years and features a death early in the seasons of one of the main characters of the show. This was also the season that introduced the wonderful Busy Philipps to the series, worth a watch even if like me your not big on the Dawson character Extras Series Two, comfirms performance wise that Ricky Gervais is nothing but a one trick pony, while it's a often very funny series it falls behind The Office and even shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Larry Sanders Show as the celebrity cameos are sometimes a little too self aware.
Had something of a Monty Python binge earlier this week aswell. And Now For Something Completely Different is just sketches from the show just refilmed but it's funny if not quite of the same enegry of the original series. Life of Brian is probably the masterpiece movie of the Python crew which is literally a laugh a minute (or second). Seen it loads of times of course and still makes me laugh. Python related is A Fish Called Wanda which is very funny thanks to the wonderful ensemble. I think Kevin Kline just steals the movie.
That it's for now- got Rocky Balboa to watch, might comment on it soon.
