J3L2404...

Wow, Netflix has really been doing good by me. I just got two more movies I liked, wanted to make sure to pass them along, those being "Fargo" and "Sex, Lies, and videotape." Fargo was awesome because it was the ind of quirky writing that I love indie films for. Match that with a bunch of Minnesota accents where every third word is "yeah," (it's hilarious when you hear it in full effect) and you have quite the quaint little film there. I also liked that it wasn't full of fluff. I have a short attention span, so even movies I like start to wear on me if they take too much longer than 90 minutes. Good deal right there. I also watch SL&V (abbreviated cuz I'm lazy). I didn't know what to expect out of this film especially since it's an older film ('96 I believe), and I don't necessarily like older films, but I was surprised. It was a really small cast, and a pretty low budget looks like, but it's one of those neat alternate love films that I love. You know, the kind of films that explore love and relationships as more than boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, antics ensue, everyone ends up in love (I hate when everyone end up in love). So yeah, this movie is neat. May not be for everyone, but I thought it was cool. Still though, I think "The Science of Sleep" ranks as my fav Netflix film. something about it reminds me of my actual life, the melding of my dream world and the real world. I sometimes feel like my divider is a little too ambiguous between the two. Anyway, see that one also if you have the chance.
