What I think I'm writing: The film's verisimilitude is matched only by the depth of inspiring beauty that transpires even its most opaque cinematic moments.
What I'm actually writing: The movie's dedication to reality is very admirable, to the point of allowing it to go beyond being just another dark movie.
What I interpret my writing: I like movie. Very real. Pretty pictures. Good for all.
You know, blogging can be a pain some days.

Thanks for the link!
As for movies in 2010 so far, I've seen some really good small/foreign releases like the Red Riding Trilogy, Mother, and The Square, but have been underwhelmed by the bigger ones like Hot Tub Time Machine and Kick-Ass. How are you feeling about it?
PS nice "Most Popular Posts" addition!
In the immortal words of Max Fisher... "I'm sorry, did someone say my name?"
Thanks for the plug home slice. Covering this fest has been a bit of a slog, especially since most of the usual suspects who read my work seem to have precious little interest in what I'm writing about! Very appreciative of the support.
I haven't been reading too much of what is going on else where, but I swear I'll go on a bender and catch up with what I've missed on your space good n' soon.
@Alex Thanks, worked hard on that. I do wonder though how many films like Red Riding Trilogy are just coming out in the US but have been out for a while overseas.
@Madhatter Don't worry, I'm reading. I just don't have much to say other than "sounds interesting, I'll make a note to check it out." Going to catch up on your Matineecasts/Life in Technicolor posts on Wednesday.
What's happening tomorrow morning?
@Castor you'll have to come and see :P
Funny you used that banner as I saw In Bruges yesterday and it sucked hardcore. I have heard nothing but priase for it for like a year now and went in with high anticiation. Good thing I bootlegged it *click* lol
@Japan That's ok, I love the movie enough to counter act your disdain for it. Though high anticipation can do wonders for how we evaluate a movie.
cheers for the linkage Univarn, wish I could sit and have a beer with Brendan Gleeson every monday.
