Samson and Delilah Moving, heart-breaking and reflective. Extremley good.

Blade Runner Awesome! I can see why it gets studied in schools (my school updated and went with Gattaga instead)

Hit a bit of a bump as I had to write an essay, pass a drivers test and was feeling unhappy last night so watched an already seen Comfort Movie (High Society). In any case:

Taxi Driver Oh my God I can't beleive I hadn't seen this yet. Loved it, thought it was awesome, wish I had Jodie Foster's acting ability when i was that age. And De Niro was just amazing.

Am about half way through La Dolce Vita

Les Diaboliques Good ol' fashioned thriller, can definitely see that it influenced Hitchcock when he made Psycho (which, by the way, will not feature in this project as I've seen it at least a dozen times, one of my favourite movies)

Bonnie and Clyde Meh. Didn't grab me, not sure why exactly, but I definitely didn't find them sympathetic characters, which i think was the intention.

Lolita Liked it better than the remake, which I saw just before starting uni. The humour is very dark, and Lolita is less passive, though no less traumatised. Plus I just love Kubrick ;-)

It's a fun play.

No matter how many times I do this stuff, I never know how it is I remember lines. I don't know any tricks, and I'm bad at learning them by route. it just seems that one day they're not there, and the next they are.

Unfortunately I've missed rehearsals through being ill and can't afford to wait for the magic moment this time, so am learning by route. I'm glad I've been left alone at work so I can at least say the lines out loud.

I've started a new fun project by the way, which I hope will really take off in earnest after this performance. I've decided to finally sit down and watch a bunch of movies that i feel I should have seen by now, me being me, but either haven't or saw them when I was too young to "get" them. I am also incorperating into this films that are on now. I started this a few days ago and plan to just make a note of what I've seen occasionally to keep track. Anyone who wants to reccommend something please feel free, also I may be putting stuff here more often about seeing films, so anyone who wants to join me in my endeavour is more than welcome!

SEEN THIS WEEK:
Kung-fu Hussle (Funny, and awesome cartoonish violence)
Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) (LOVED it! If you've not seen it and you love a good horror go see it on the big screen)
Meet Me In St Louis (Not much happens, but it's pretty and colourful and has Judy Garland in it singling the trolley song)

I've got a bunch of dvds at home which I hope to make my way through in the next week, then more coming after that. I like this project, I think it will be fun!
