DVD Reviews:

El Mariachi/Desperado - After watching El Mariachi I can now understand the critics of Desperado. The bigger budget on Desperado did not make it leaps and bounds better than Mariachi which was made with less than $10,000. However, seeing both films together gives you a greater appreciation for Robert Rodriguez's talent as a director. Antonio Banderas is smouldering and I defy any woman to not find him edible. I found myself literally wiping sweat off my brow as I watched him swagger across the screen. On the DVD there are additional scenes that help to tie the films together. I decided to rewatch these films to prepare myself for Once Upon A Time in Mexico which was released recently on DVD and has been difficult to get on Netflix (bastards!!).

American Splendor - Who wants to watch a fat, balding, squat, miserable bastard whine and complain about his sorry lot in life? I do, because just like Harry Pekar says many times in the film, misery loves company. The film tells the story of an average guy turned cult-comic hero as he meets his better half Joyce (Hope Davis), gains moderate fame, battles prostate cancer and finds happiness despite his inability to admit to being remotely happy about anything. The comic book feel of the film and the back and forth between the real Harvey Pekar and the actor portraying him, Paul Giamatti is seamless and gives the film a documentary feel. Hope Davis puts in a fantastic performance as Pekar's slightly depressed hypochondriac wife. Definitely worth a look.

What I'm listening to right now?
Nightswimming from the Automatic for the People CD by R.E.M.

What I'm reading right now?
My blog of course. I'm checking for spelling and grammatical errorrrrrs. Whoopsie! When I get home I plan to finish reading Stephen King's Everything's Eventual.

Last website I visited:
Well, the last two:
- One-way mirrored public toilet in London. Scroll down for interior view.
- Ralph Don't Run.

Automatic for the people is one of my favorite albums ever. A true classic. Also... FYI Johnny Depp is one of the hottest hotties of all time. :)

Eveything's Eventual was most cool (at least on audio CD). Love his style.

And so true about Mr. Banderas (NO, not from *my* perspective!) It's just that I can tell he's hot when the wife doesn't groan at me for watching yet another B-grade action flick.
