it's all about fake eyelashes and four inch stilettos...

this was my "do nothing" weekend. in theory i was going to make no plans, but ... things just happned organically which seems a lot less chaotic then my typically over-booked lifestyle. "dinner on weds" "lunch on thurs" -- i guess i've never really recovered from my "lady who lunches" term of unemployment...sigh...



BLT. on sat. i saw "better luck tomorrow" the new MTV produced Justin Lin movie. This movie explores corruption, morality and the challenge smart kids face with the boredom of being, well smart. It's twisted. It has a good sountrack. It gets close enough to the reality of being a "model minority" that its a bit disturbing and even the trite moments (i.e. when they display SAT vocab terms across the screen) can be forgiven because at the end of the day, this is an interesting dark film that people should see. The cast is excellent, the story is good, the film is shot well. GO.





On the other side of the cinematic spectrum is the movie i just got back from: Down with love. This movie is hillarious, sweet and *exactly* what a funny, silly movie based on love in the 60's should be about. Ewan McGregor was perfect as the suave "Catcher Block" and Renee was great as the sassy feminist-man-hater (in her pillbox hat, stilletos and batty eyelashes). For a bit of silliness this is a must see.
