More of a Montage than a History

Red Riding Hood

I can't even REMEMBER why in the world I watched Catherine Hardwicke's first film Thirteen - it must have been during my early movie adventures and I'm sure I was all "Its independent, which obviously means its important." Oh how much I've learned.

Thirteen showed some promise, but Ms. Hardwicke followed it up with The Nativity Story and then the teen masterpiece Twilight. I've seen the latter twice (yep) cause I laughed so hard the first time I saw it I needed an encore. My film buddie Erik even made me a birthday card with Edward and Bella perched on a tree. The fact that he ran super fast with her on his back was enough to make me pee my pants.

Point being, who the fuck keeps giving this woman money? And can we briefly talk about the fact that she may be a pedifile? I'm not being super serious here but she keeps making movies about young girls that have sex with weird beings or young girls that just want to have sex period. I can totally identify with this (I was giving it away for free at fifteen only no one wanted it), but there are better movies out there, better ideas even, that deserve this money. Check out Fat Girl if you wanna see what I mean.

Dogtooth

Change your life awesome.

Best movie I've seen this year.

Called everyone I know when I finished watching it.

Terrifying and amazing.

Red Riding

Meh? There were some gorgeous shots, but I never really got sucked in. Is this a hipster thing? People I really like and respect thought the world of Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1974. I mean, Andrew Garfield is hot an all but I wanted to make out with him more after watching Boy A.
