What I did this weekend, apart from working in the shop.

One Perfect Day - wasn't quite what I expected it to be, but was very Australian in the way the story was told, with the audience knowing the full story, but not anyone involved (no cunnilingus, though). Interesting, a nicely-tangled web of characters, fun concepts, not quite a slave to its 'scene'. I think it communicated something. Although that something might have been "Don't get into raves if you're female". And don't do drugs, mmkay?

Taking Lives - was, like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a collection of fabulous concepts with a really sodding average movie built around it. A whole lot of stuff in the middle was just brilliant, and there were really fascinating angles, but the whole thing was just a sub-standard thriller-of-the-week. Some parts of Jolie's character really shit me - like her Sherlock-Holmes leaps-of-brilliance. But everything Martinez did was pure gold.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - was fucking fabulous. Just... wow. Everything that Malkovich vaguely promised and failed to deliver upon. Clever, workable, peopled with utterly real and sympathetic characters doing believably fucked-up things, studded with breath-of-fresh-air concepts and explorations, delightful in the details. You must see this movie. Dooo eeeet.
