there are actually quite a few films i could list here as well as that new showtime show: brotherhood , however, this past weekend i had the good fortune of seeing the two movies i’ll list here right in a row – and let me tell you a good time was had by all.
so when the halloween party i was supposed to attend saturday sort of fell through (and me looking all adorable in my hogwarts school uniform)… i was left with a stack of dvd’s i was supposed to give someone at the fest. so upon arriving at home i noticed the top one was a movie i hadn’t heard of *gasp* as if there could be such a thing. it was the boondock saints which is fast becoming a bit of a cult classic, not only because it’s just a kick ass film, but because it appears there is some history as to why it has taken seven years for it to start making the rounds. you can decide which side of " developing both a cult following and enmity from film goers" you fall on. but i think i’m solidly setting up stakes in the first camp as i thoroughly enjoyed this flick.

on sunday i followed up by an impromptu trip to the theater for a matinee of the departed, martin scorcese’s new picture. in typical scorcese fashion it was a nail biter and about 30 minutes too long (damn you casino – i want those three hours back). jack was classic jack. leo brooded. damon resurrected that fabulous accent from good will hunting. and i could have handled about 90% more mark wahlberg in the film. all in all it was definitely worth my $7 and braving what ended up being one of the coldest days i think we’ve had in seattle in a long long time.
