It lives up to it’s notoriety of being very disturbing, but I enjoyed it. I’d recommend it to someone with a strong stomach. You could always look away during the octopus scene. :-P

I’ve just finished watching Lolita (the 1997 version, directed by Adrian Lyne). I’m not sure what to think of it yet. It was pretty. It was compelling. It was probably the sort of movie which you were supposed to read the damn book first. At any rate, I’m not sure if Nabokov would be pleased to know that every last character in the movie was contemptible, even Delores, but then again I haven’t read the book yet, so maybe that was exactly his aim. Also, that’s just my personal opinion.
I’m going to do this by themes, so it will be plenty of fun. If you have any suggestions, please tell me. I haven’t watched nearly as many movies as I should have in my lifetime, and with the new discovery of isohunt, I’ll be busy for a while.
My theme for this week is Burton.
I’ve got:
Sweeney Todd
Edward Scissorhands
The Nightmare before Christmas
The Corpse Bride
Sleepy Hollow
Beetlejuice
Next week’s theme is Disney cartoons. Please suggest any Disney cartoons you think I should see.
