patrick swayze please rise from the dead

Myself and two other girlfriends enjoyed a Thursday night swooning and giggling at Patrick Swayze thrusting women in beautiful dresses and high waisted pants and midriffs. Dirty Dancing, such a classic movie that has not dated a bit over the years. I loved it when I was 11 (that seemed to be the year I was introduced to sexual films...) and I still love it equally now. I don't think I'll even bother recommending this to you all as if you haven't seen it just exit my blog now because as far as I'm concerned, IT IS A SIN IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS FILM. Post-dirty dancing, my friends and I discussed how much we dearly would love to have proper dancing clubs in Brisbane where women AND MEN can actually dance. Not crump. Dance. I'm talking foxtrot, tango, dirty dancing anything OTHER than just crumping to Lady Gaga. I'll stop now because I rant any further. Moral being.. would anyone else join a legit dance club if it were available in Brisbane?

paranoid park

Paranoid Park is an indie film made by the producers of Elephant, which is a fantastic movie and a favourite of mine. Anyway, so I watched Paranoid Park hoping for the raw beauty that was illustrated in Elephant. It was raw alright.. but too raw? They spent too much time just watching people walk from place to place. A little too repetitive. It felt disjointed and bland. The only reason I watched it through to the end was because there was some beautiful cinematography and the set was quite lovely. Probably wouldn't recommend it to people with a short attention span.

the raggedy man

I've been meaning to post on this film for agessss but I somehow keep forgetting..
I watched the film "Raggedy Man" on one of the old school channels on foxtel a few weeks ago, thinking it would be one of those corny, over dramatic movies that we all adore but hate. But, film date aside.. it was an incredible, realistic movie and I found myself in tears by the end of it. The clothes alone in the movie make it worthwhile to watch it but then there is also the most traumatic and frustrating storyline, you really feel for the female lead. I'd say go rent it out but I doubt this one will even be in the classics section at video ezy. But perhaps keep an eye out on foxtel!
