A Clockwork Orange

Something on myspace just reminded me about a movie adaptation of the book "A Clockwork Orange."
It seems that all the 'indie' kids love the movie, but truthfully, it shocked me, even knowing the book.
I can never deal with seeing rape, and I think it is sick that someone would want to. The book is a different story really, worse even. But, it is a book. It's personal, when you sit down, and you get into it, and you understand all the characters the way you want to, not the way they are put on the screen.
I did like the movie..i'm just being a nana really. But the book is better..as always.

He's Just Not That Into You [Theatrical Release]

Argh, this movie was so insanely cliche. It's sad really.
I mean, the sad wanna-be-in-love quirky gal gets with the smooth forgot-how-to-love babe. The couple that think they can't but turns out they really can. The love-at-first-sighters. And, please, let's not forget the prick-of-a-lying-cheating-husband who cheats on his sweet and loving wife with a hot yoga instrutor/stuggling muso.

I am disappointed because I thought this movie was going to be honest, and real. I admit there were some aspects that were very true to the real world, but mostly it was a bunch of shit, just like the rest of them.
I mean come on, "I'm the rule, not the exception". Oh the mathematics of human nature!

Anyway, I vote NO!, and I advise that if you want to see this chick flick; wait till it's on dvd, don't waste the special cinema moments for it.

I just watched this movie. It was awesome. Very funny in a 'Life Aquatic' or 'Royal Tenenbaums' kind of way, in fact in involves many of the same actors. Such as Anjelica Huston, Billy Murry (ever so briefly) and Owen Wilson.

Plot Summery(iMDb):
Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.

It sure is a fun movie, that is for anyone who likes similar ones (as listed above).

Over and out, Madeleine Rose.
