HAIRSPRAY:
It would be damn near impossible to say that there is anything wrong with this film. It is just as good every single time I watch it! Catchy songs, amazing dancing, great story - the only thing that put a dent in the whole affair was my later knowledge of the lead actress getting an assault charge with another female in an airport.
HARD CANDY:
I had sort of heard about this film before, when all the buzz was surrounding Ellen Page for her role in Juno. I decided to watch this the other day, based purely on her star power name. She's fantastic, but this is a DARK movie. Do not approach unless watching pedophiles getting expertly tortured, from a young assaulted girl no less, is your cup of tea.
MAGNOLIA:
I had been putting off watching this movie for...at least the last 5 years! I think it was my fear of the length. I mean over 3 hours! Aimee Mann actually steals this movie with her hauntingly perfect soundtrack. A huge cast is involved and there really aren't any weak links. It is so hauntingly poetic. Mmm. I will be watching this again :).
What have you been watching this week? Anything you recommend?

From what I remember I loved hairspray, but I REALLY loved Hard Candy. But I guess I'm crazy like that ;) hahaha.
My Mom bought Avatar a few weeks ago and I have yet to watch it. I may watch it one night while I'm resting in bed. =)
I loved Hairspray too. So catchy.
I watched about a gazillion movies on planes these past 2 weeks; Valentine's Day (not as good as I'd hoped, but still solid), Dear John (better than I thought), The Young Victoria (loved it, wished they had done her whole life)...that's all I can remember.
I'm finally going to watch The Time Traveler's Wife tomorrow - very excited for that.
