Well, movies at least. Last night was another mental zone night. While surrounded by drying clothing, feeling mentally and physically exhausted from a long day and stacks of blank pads of paper surrounding me… I felt my only option was to pop in a movie and click refresh on the increasingly sucking FB (ALL information just pours through instead of previously where the information from others was separated and much more gentle instead of the daily enema of every little thing your friends are doing.)

Anyway, I began the movie rather late (for me on a week-night). I had attempted to watch W., but it hit me “I couldn’t stand the idiot during his presidency and didn’t care to watch him then. Why the hell am I viewing a movie about him NOW?” I got up and changed it out for Changeling.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the movie except Angelina, in the previews, looked very stiff- yeah, not much to go by because she always looks like she’s trying to avoid showing emotion or smudging her make up or *something* no clue. She always comes across as a total bitch who’s trying to be humane, or just a cold bitch- in every freaking film. The story sounded interesting so I rented and decided to give a chance if I had nothing better going on. Well I had nothing better going on.
Premise- A boy is kidnapped and the LA police department return the child to the mother after several months… but they return the wrong boy and when she fights to get them to still search for her son… they accuse her of trying to avoid her parental responsibility because she obviously enjoyed time without him, and then lock her up in an insane asylum where you find more women that the LA police ushered in there in order to keep them from exposing the departments mistakes.
Someone else should have played the role of Christine Collins than Angelina. She didn’t do a horrible job, but she was stiff. I see her totally turning into a female Nicholas Cage. The supporting actors/actresses helped get you through the movie and pulled the emotions out of you. I cried, I felt enraged, I cried some more.
Monsters: None, I just thought it sounded good with Movies and Mayhem.

Aren’t I misleading?

I’m surprised you haven’t told us what you think of the Dead Like Me movie yet. (Perhaps you did, and I just missed it somehow.)
I haven’t seen it- that’s why! Time has been rushing by… I forgot to queue it!
OMG- on Netflix you can watch instantly
Dead Like Me: Life After Death
(2009) R
A new assignment hits home for grim reaper Georgia (Ellen Muth) when her latest reaping, Hudson Hart (Jordan Hudyma), turns out to be the secret love of her sister, Reggie (Britt McKillip). Meanwhile, Calvin Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) takes over as Head Reaper, but he’s not highly regarded by his undead underlings Daisy (Sarah Wynter), Roxy (Jasmine Guy) and Mason (Callum Blue) in this feature follow-up to the short-lived Showtime cult hit.
Available onDVD and instantly
Yay! I don’t have to wait to rent… I just have to find a good time to watch- which will probably be between My Name is Earl and 30 Rock tonight (not a fan of The Office or that other NBC show)- usually I surf between Smallville/Ugly Betty… but not tonight!
Which reminds me in a roundabout way of something I should have mentioned yesterday but didn’t think about: are you familiar with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_spaghetti_monster) If you’re not, then you should be.
Oh I am, I belong to the group on FB
