the castration sonata

just got back from seeing woody allen's latest, "melinda & melinda". awesome flick! the critics have been panning it (the orlando weekly gave it one and a half stars). i loved it! based on the reviews, i probably would've skipped it, but the antiparticle worked on it and, sure enough, at the end her name appeared in the credits :)

i went to have sushi last thursday with heidi, courtney, and lauressa, and i mentioned wanting to see this movie and all three were interested as well. so today i reminded everyone, and of course the wavering began. lauressa wasn't super interested, but decided to go along just to hang out with all of us. she ended up loving the movie, as we all did. heidi almost backed out because she's been too busy to do laundry lately. she rehearses, like, five days a week. she sings opera, and in late may she's performing. i'm looking forward to that. she originally said she wouldn't be able to go, but changed her mind last second and she's happy she did. she realized she had enough clean clothes to get through one more day :)

so yeah, the movie rocks! some of the writing is hilarious, and as always in woody's films, there are some very cool and very funny characters. chloe is hotter than ever, and will ferrell was quite good, i should say. don't listen to the critics on this one.

and once you see it, the title for this blog entry will make sense ;)

pertinent perspectives on this impertinent issue:

it's an okay little movie - definitely isn't the greatest or anything, eh. i think most critics (and a lot of people) hold up all of his films to his classic ones...the guy makes a movie a year, though, and most of them are better than the other crap out there, but they're all not going to be winners. especially since he's 70 now...
anyway, melinda is more fresh than rotten, and the NYTimes gave it a decent review too...
