Movies. I watch them.

Scraps of money still coming in here and there, nothing solid or steady quite yet. I am becoming frustrated, but still hopeful.

I finally watched Solomon Kane starring James Purefoy. He is, if you did not know, the sexiest Brit alive. It was pretty good. Not sure why there haven't been a few more of those. Atmospheric, nice period style, cool effects, and did I mention that James Purefoy is sexy?
He's got a mid-season show coming up where he's playing a serial killer. Yummy! Kevin Bacon is on it, which is handy because it links him to the entire cast of ROME.

A friend recommended Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. I had vaguely heard of it, but thought it was a real documentary about the Friday the 13th movies. Actually, it's a fake documentary that discusses slasher icons as if they were real, and follows a killer as he does his thing. The writing was clever, and there were plenty of fun cameos, in jokes, and over the top performances.

Finished checking out season one of Breaking Bad. Man, that's a good show. Excellent writing, outstanding character development. Can't wait to see where it goes next. I can't imagine Walt's wife becoming any more vile, but I'm told that she does.

Daniel Radcliffe is starring in the movie adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns. I've not read any Joe Hill yet, but I've heard good things. Alexandre Aja is directing. All of [profile] eroslane's chiding aside, I dig him and am confident that this will be worth checking out.

I've read Horns and Heart Shaped Box. Liked them both. Very curious what Harry Potter will do with the role; it's pretty creepy.

I haven't seen him in anything but Harry Potter, so I can't really comment on his ability outside of that role. Ig is a creepy role, but not as creepy as Lee. I'm glad he didn't get that part. Haven't seen any of the films Max Minghella (who will be playing Lee) has done. He looks the part, though.
