I watched Sunshine Cleaning tonight (which totally passes the Bechdel), and I was very amused by the little too much candy scene. I don't know if it was mentioned here when it first came out.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

move out and draw fire
Just watched Paranormal Activity.
Scarier than I was expecting, but ultimately meh. And of course I spent most of the time yelling at the protagonists for being dumbasses.

Heh. Sometimes the only lesson is "Dean cries pretty tears of Man!Pain" but it's always worth a shot.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I just got back from a benefit screening of "Girls Rock!", a documentary about the rock camp for girls that's been going on in Portland, OR for the past 10 summers. Highly recommended! The 5 day camp teaches girls ages 8-18 not only how to Rock, but also things like teamwork, self-defense and, most of all, empowerment. It culminates with a concert where all the bands formed during the camp play to a packed club audience of 600 people. The film manages to be entertaining, without being overly preachy and would make an excellent double-feature with Josie & the Pussycats! Also, like J&tP, it's available on Netflix for instant streaming.
The screening was a benefit for a Boston branch of the camp that's starting up later this summer. I (almost) wish I was a girl just so that I could volunteer!

As I've said, the movie seriously got to me and I really enjoyed it, but I hated what's his name. The character was such an asshole.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
When watching movies like that I always flash back to an Eddie Murphy routine where he said the difference between white people and black people is that when white people find out their house is haunted, they stay in the house.
