this past week was a week-off for me. hence i got sick and the weather immediately turned crappy. so instead of huge walks and laying on the grass in the park there was lots of walk to the bathroom and laying in the bed/coach. however, dvd-s come handy and watching them all day long doesn’t fill you with guilt-you are sick after all for pete’s sake what else could you do…?! and i was hungry for some artistic experience anyways. i thought i will try to list here the movies i watched and will try to condense my thoughts about the movies into one line each. it is a challenge believe me. but i will try so here we go:

The Graduate - impeccable acting+thoughtful directing=catharsis – everything (acting,words,music,visuals) works together and the result is an art piece where you don’t only see what’s visible. Funny Girl - Barbra Streisand is a genius, period. Blood Diamond-really makes you think about humankind in general, makes you wanna visit Africa and see it’s beauty, and makes me declare that DiCaprio is one of the biggest actors of his generation and i will keep loving him;-) Bourne trilogy- i watched with my sister thus i finally understand what it’s all about… The Queen- most interesting movie; Helen Mirren is truly amazing and i found the dynamic and pace of the movie very interesting. Barefoot in the Park- i wanna read the original play, ’cause Redford and Jane Fonda was not bad at all, but the film as a whole left me hanging somehow. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- proof of the fact that Jim Carey is a true actor, the whole cast is wonderful, again, it’s art in the purest sense and the theme of the movie is fascinating and thought provoking. To Kill a Mocking Bird- watching Gregory Peck building up a character is sheer joy. Little Miss Sunshine- everyone MUST see this movie, it just gets under your skin,funny as nothing else with a fantastic cast and fantastic visuals. Brokeback Mountain- one word was on my mind all through out the movie:beautiful-from the first moment to the last, incredible performances from all the characters, heartbreaking story and fabulous locations.

Well, that’s all for now. i also went to see King Lear yesterday but i will write about it later. until then, go watch some movies, good ones please:-) good night and don’t get sick.
