I haven't watched Adult Swim in a while, but I watched it last night and tonight and Paranoia Agent was fucking sweet and bizarre. Tonight I was watching Robot Chicken and it was funny (the part where they were talking about getting to the twist endings in movies) and they fucking referenced Sleepaway Camp--I love that movie! Now I'm watching Aqua Teen and it's the Thanksgiving ep with the crazy ass robot turkey. 'You are strapped to a wall, man--dick. *blows up tv*'

So, reviews.

Girl With A Pearl Earring: Sublime. General plot is that this tortured painter dude falls in love with a servant and paints her portrait. Very gentle and gripping and Scarlett Johanssen, Colin Firth, and Cillian Murphy are all amzing actors, especially Scarlett Johanssen...she doesn't even speak a lot in the movie, but *sigh*...Scarlett. The ending is swoon-worthy. Excellent.

A Tale of Two Sisters: *headtilt* Highly confusing, but ultimately comes to make sense...mostly. Um, can't really explain the plot. The fact that the ghost was under the kitchen sink was never explained, nor was the fact that a hand came out of her crotch, though I suspect that was some kind of metaphorical Far East imagery shit. Very creepy and psychological.

Anaconda: Hunt For the Blood Red Orchid: Sort of like the Anaconda with J.Lo, only lacking in likable characters and John Voight. Most of the characters in this movie who are worth a damn die, while the annoying ass morons live...they go for some awesome flower that, like, does everything or w/e, then find out anacondas have been eating them, so they're, like, gigantic and the flower is right by their mating den...everyone's really stupid...really, really stupid. Horrible movie.

The Machinist: Um, Christian Bale hasn't slept in a month and his only companions are this waitress and a hooker. Then....shit happens.A lot of shit that finally makes sense at the end of the movie. CB is ultra-skinny in this movie, to the point of being grotesque. When he's sleeping with the hooker, it's like watching a skeleton with skin get laid. Gross. Another mind-fucker.

Shallow Ground: So...um...a naked kid covered in blood pops up out of the woods and takes revenge for whose who have been done wrong. A bunch of people start dying at the same time this kid shows up and it turns out the person killing people is who the kid is supposed to get revenge on. At the end, the kid goes into the woods with his mission accomplished, then some other kid covered in what the skin looks like on burnt BBQ jumps out and kills him, then looks at the camera all crazy....the end. So, don't watch this...
