    p.s. [because everyone loves post scripts..]
    "The Breakfast Club really bothered me. This is, like, an iconic movie, and the coolest character, Ally Sheedy, goes from being this interesting, quirky girl to being made "hot" so she can make out with frickin' Emilio Estevez? Give me a break!"

    it slightly frustrates me that i can never seem to find anyone to talk to about The Tracey Fragments. She was FANTASTIC in that, it feels like no one has seen it! i mean SLIM TWIG WAS IN IT! what a great freaking match up! what an amazing movie.

    Ellen Page is the greatest actress I have ever seen. Mostly I only watch films once but with Ellen I watch them time and time again. Hard Candy, Tracy Fragments and An American Crime were brilliant and if they were starring anyone else it wouldnt have hit my heart the same way. Ellen has got such a successful past and as time goes on the movies will only get better. All genres of movies she does, she does them to pure perfection. That is all. Cye
