i watched 2 great movies this weekend.

lost in translation is definitely the best movie i've seen this year. i'm sure you've already heard about it. believe the hype. i've got not much else to say.

i caught about 15 minutes of pumpkin while channel surfing the other day. it's a good thing sundance replays their material around 3 or 4 times. i looked up the next showtime (that didn't conflict with my regular tapings) and programmed my vcr.

pumpkin is a dark comedy about the "impossible" relationship between a very blond valley-girl (christina ricci) and the mentally/physically challenged "pumpkin" (hank harris) she has to coach to make her sorority look good. alot of the reviews say that the movie "tries too hard", but-- for whatever reason-- i seemed to get it. anyways, i bought the dvd (it was only $9). so if you wanna borrow it, let me know.

next on my list: school of rock.
