Oldboy
I must admit, when I started this movie, Oldboy, I was skeptical of enjoying it.  However, upon finishing it I found it incredibly entertaining.  I have a hard time saying I liked it because it disturbed the daylights out of me.  If Freud and Lacan were right about the biggest and first taboo the ego learns is incest this movie incarcerates the idea.   This film takes the oedipal complex to the...

Candyman
I measure a scary movie not by how much I flinch while watching it, but by how long it stays with me after I finish watching it.  If it scared me while watching it’s more entertaining than scary.  If a few hours, or nights, after I watch a film it still makes me jumpy then it’s scary.   Even though the Candyman was made in 1992, this might be the only film I have ever seen that I...

Mulholland Drive
Total mind fuck.  I want to watch it again.  When I’m actually awake, and I’m in a more sober state.  And ideally with a friend that’s fluent in Spanish.   That is all.

Why I'm My Parents Daughter
I have my dad’s small hands, but my mom’s long fingers.  I have my mom’s lips, but my dad’s teeth.  My mom’s optimism, but my dad’s negativity.  My dad’s depression, but my mom’s coping mechanisms.  My dad’s wit and humor, but my mom’s loving nature.   I am my parents daughter.

On Acceptance
This is a really well put post about acceptance.  Not only the acceptance of gays or other stereotypical outcasts, but acceptance of everyone and for everything they are.  It’s a bit long-winded and not always the most eloquently put, but it conveys a strong meaningful message.  It’s worth reading and definitely worth reflecting on.   ...

Simpler Times
I wish I was alive during simpler times.  In a time when I could just sit on a log and tell people stories or the random nonsense that comes to mind.  I’d miss a few things, but I think I’d be much happier overall.
