The Best of 2005

My second favourite Melbourne Cinema (aka, CinemaNova) says The New World and Cache (going by the name Hidden out here) are both released next week (May 4). So on May 4 next week I will take the 1 hour train ride up there and see these two movies and then and only then will I feel comfortable to post my Best of 2005. I thought Hidden was out at the end of May and that was too long, but if it's out next week then that's good. Neither of these movies will make it to my city (still annoying considering that my city is the second most populated city in the state) so I have to go to Melbourne.

I love going up to Melbourne to see movies. Sometimes I go by myself, other times I go with my friend Hannah who is the only one who would see those sorta movies with me. But Hannah will have school on Thursday and is poor so she won't be able to go. Oh well. I'm very protective of my friends' movie watching. I pretty much have authority over everything they watch and tell them whether it is alright to watch it. I don't think Hannah would like Hidden much (althought she might, but I wouldn't wanna risk it) and I'd rather her get acquainted to Terrance Malick before spending money on The New World.

Still, that didn't stop them from hiring this movie while I wasn't present and watching it in the company of others. It's called The Devil's Arithmetic and I haven't read anything about it, but my friends said it was has Kirsten Dunst and Brittany Murphy TRAVELLING BACK THROUGH TIME TO THE HOLOCAUST! And speaking in modern day American accents too, apparently. Hannah said it was hands down the worst movie she has ever seen and everyone else thought it was awful to. Can't say it sounded too promising.

Anyway, I'm gonna go watch another movie *he says as he avoids watching the rest of Intolerance*
