"Words create lies. Pain can be trusted."

So me and some friends decided to have a horror movie night, first on our playlist was Don't Look Now - the story of a couple who move to Venice to escape the memory of their recently dead daughter (she drowned. it was sad.)
However, I have to admit that I didn't see it all the way through. We survived about 45minutes and then my friends decided it was too dull to continue watching. I also found their yelps of 'AAH! NO MORE BOOBIES!' (as yet another nudity scene ensuses) quite distracting. I have to admit though, seeing Donald Sutherland - moustache and all - getting frisky put me off my brownie bites a little...
I hear it gets better and so intend to continue viewing, but until then I'm afraid I can't give you an opinion on it.

The next film was a Japanese horror about a woman who loves sadistic violence, Audition. I'm pleased to say that it was everything I expected. I won't spoil it, but I will say that it is NOT for the faint hearted.
I'd definitely reccommend it to anyone who's into scary movies and doesn't mind a bit of limb removal.

Rapid was next on our agenda. Your typical film about an infectious disease that spreads through humanity and makes everyone chunderous and violent.
Not really scary but definitely gross. Call me twisted, but I also found myself laughing a little at the sheer craziness of it all.

I hope my night of movie binging has inspired you to watch some horror films, just remember that it's always useful to have a pillow close by to hide behind when it all gets a little too horrific :P

Happy viewing!

(P.S. clicking the film titles will take you to the iMDB page)

She must have hidden the plans in her pants. Send a detachment down to retrieve them.

As you may or may not have gathered, I'm a big Star Wars fan and I recently stumbled across a website I'd like to share with those of you who are also partial to a bit of jedi/sith action.

It's basically just a page with a vast collection of Star Wars related jokes and lists.
For example, "Lines from Star Wars that can be improved if you substitute the word 'pants' for keywords"

...and so hilarity ensues...

Click right here to see the aforementioned website :D

Enjoy! And you're welcome to 'follow me'.

"TOGAAAA!!!"

Anyone seen National Lampoon's Animal House? I have ;)
Possibly the greatest movie about college ever made.

If you haven't seen it, you simply haven't lived. It made my year. Seriously.

It tells the story of Delta house, the worst house on campus as they stumble their way through college by cheating on tests, starting fights, and having crazy parties. This film makes me want to travel back to to pledge Delta...
Animal House wouldn't be nearly as good, however, if it wasn't for John Belushi (R.I.P.), he is genuinely amazing as a disgusting, drunk, carefree student.
You'll probably recognise Donald Sutherland, Karen Allen (Indiana Jones) and Kevin Bacon from other well known films.

My advice to you is WATCH IT.
It'll make you lol :')
