The Virgin Suicides
Oh my god. I felt awkward throughout the whole film. I started having flashbacks of my own high school experience. I can't say I particularly enjoyed this film, but it is very well done.

Charmed seems to still be airing on TNT. I would normally avoid television, but my room mate woke me up with it.

Out of curiosity, what did you think of 'Oldboy' and 'Infernal Affairs', Koga? (Personally, I thought they were the cat's pajamas.)

I saw 'Beverly Hills Cop II' for the first time earlier today. Thought it was pretty good.

Well, I had seen the Departed before I saw Infernal Affairs so it was inevitable to compare the two. I thought IA was a good movie, but throughout I was reminded of how much I liked the Departed. Nevertheless it was very interesting to see how some scenes were nearly identical while others were in a very different context.

As for Oldboy, I thought it was great. Very brutal and violent, and maybe a bit hard to get into, but the ending was very satisfying. Great acting throughout.

That one was awesome as well. I especially liked the fantasy parts (the Pale Man is one of the coolest movie monsters in history), but it really worked well combined with the World War II setting.

Damn, I still haven't watched my copy of Oldboy yet. I'll have to do a double feature with Taxi Driver tonight.

Edit:

Taxi Driver
Scorsese is easily my favorite American director, and this is probably my favorite film of his that I've seen so far...

...

Okay, I actually liked The Departed better, but saying I liked this movie more seems more respectable.

I liked The Departed better too, as well as Raging Bull and Goodfellas.

The Last movie I watched was La Haine (The Hate). Highly reccomended, especially if you liked Cidade de Deus (City of God).

^ I actually liked Taxi Driver more than Raging Bull and Goodfellas. They're all really damn good movies, though.

The Big Heat
A bit dated, but still entertaining.

Will watch either Oldboy or Chungking Express tonight.
