confessions of an amateur cineaste

I’d never seen Team America: World Police before. Entertaining enough (the way the puppets walk just -kills- me) but, ergh. Political reservations. And seriously. Enough with the gay as an insult already. Little else prompts me to get my soapbox out faster.

Mystic River, however, was awesome. I really had no idea what to expect. I just remembered it made a showing at the Oscars a few years ago and though I can’t remember now who the other contenders were, it was certainly worthy of being up there.
