Movies

Tonight Kristyna and I went out to dinner and the movies with some friends. We ended up seeing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which was really excellent.

I won't go into too many details about the film here, because to talk about it in detail would sort of give away a lot about the story. However, I will say that both Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey both give excellent performances. It's the sort of inventive story that could only come from Charlie Kaufman (who I have now come to believe is a genius)... while at the same time being a very touching story about real human emotions and relationships without being cliché.

It's another "instant favorite" of mine, and if you liked Magnolia, I think you'll like this one too. But even if you didn't like Magnolia, see it anyway.

Hmmm...I'll have to check out Magnolia again. I've only seen parts of it...remembering the raining frog scene. I wasn't too hot for what I had seen, but I've heard good things...so I should give it another chance. LOVED this flick though! :)
