Let's Go To the Movies, Let's Go See The Stars!

I love going to the theaters. It's a guilty pleasure of mine to stray away from the quiet, lonely confines of my unnaturally cold apartment and sit in an equally freezing room with a bunch of strangers and laugh/cry/gasp/smile to whatever is playing. It is really a lot more enjoyable than it sounds. Another of my favorite things to do is collect movies. Event the ones that don't appeal to me at first glance, I buy them. I just won three older movies on Ebay (<3) and I'm really doing everything I can to contain my excitment!

Firstly is The Hole. Yeah, it sounds and looks pretty oddly but it is an amazing movie with lots of twists and is a very gasp-y movie. I haven't seen it in, like, five years but I'm excited to get it in around three days. The main character is the actress from the disney movie Hocus Pocus (the little sister) and there is also Kiera Knightly in this film (she was only fifteen). If you're over eighteen and are into thriller-like twisty movies then HELLO!

Ahh, Elephant. This movie I have never seen, but the previews look absolutly amazing. It is based on the school massacre at Columbine, but it doesn't use any of the names and events are changed, but it is an outline. The best part of this film is that the director, Gus Van Sant, just went to a town and asked random, nobody kids to be in his movie. These actors aren't really actors, they are just kids with great talent which really makes the movie feel deliciously raw.

Lastly is Mean Creek. It's an amazing story of Bully is mean to kid. Kid's brother's find out. Kid has revenge.. Things go horribly wrong. It feels like it could be real, and very well may be. The main actors are Rory Culkin and Josh Peck, odd mis but wonderful, but depressing story.

Maybe it's just me that is obsessed with all of the sad, depressing, scary, twisty, tragic tales. It could be that I'm attracted to the rawness, or the realism of these stories. That's neither here nor there. But I cannot wait until I recieve them on Monday. Maybe they'll come earlier?
