Note to Self: Write about these movies

Other movies I've seen recently, but am too lazy to write/copy/paste about.

1. Milk-I was moved. A
2. High Fidelity. Liked the monolouges and music talks, relationship part seemed kind of dead to me. B
3. Run Lola Run. B (although one of the cooler movies, in a techie sort of way, I've seen)
4. Let the Right One In (Sweeden?). A. Wow, this vampire movie was visually stunning and really got me thinking about vampire rights...I mean they can feel love and have relationships, they just have this defect from birth that they have no control over and probably despise having. Human blood is just basic biological need for them, is that such a crime? In all reality, I can see the symbolism of vampires in a society that doesn't accept those for behaviors that were determined by genetics.
5. Pleasantville. Saw it on a bus, but was kind of cool. Symbolism was a little too blatant for my liking.

In other news, I recommened the novels of Tom Robbins, literary daredevil, and the actual book Revolutionary Road. Richard Yates is rather fulfilling when writing about the hopeless emptiness.
