3 UWTL's in one week! That's crazy! Why am I exclaiming!?! It's 2:20 in the morning! I assure you this punctuation does not express my energy level or current state of being on any level!
Last night's late night really but a crimp in today. Today was a rough one. But somehow today is not over. Don't get me wrong, there were some good times had, but many of which I could not tell you of due to being tired and stressed and cranky and generally unproductive.
One highlight of the day was definitely a little gem of a movie called CEREMONY that I hope gets a decent chance out there in a very unforgiving movie world. I went into it with pretty high expectations for a number of reasons. Firstly I'm friendly with the director and knew about it for a good while. Secondly it had a great cast and really sounded up my alley even way back as they were putting it together. And lastly, the trailer was damn good and seemed to paint the picture in a positive light.
As I sat down to watch the movie after a long, sick, anxious week, I had a tough time fully giving my undivided attention to the film. As a result, I don't think I quite got the full experience I would have if all was right in the world, and I could really truly escape for 90 minutes. That being said I really did enjoy the thing. The movie had a great look and feel and pace, and the acting was pretty stellar across the board with a few exceptions.
One huge standout was a kid by the name of Reece Thompson, who i'd heard great things about from a few indies over the years, specifically ROCKET SCIENCE, which I actually haven't gotten around to seeing. Maybe it was the way the character was written and the moments he was given but I just thought he was awesome. Mind you the Angarano's, the Pace's, Johnson's, Thurman's and Dill's of the world were also great, but he really stuck out which is saying a lot in this particular company. People have got to put him in more movies and I'm def gonna make a point to go back and watch some of his earlier stuff.
The night ended solid enough, with a nice chicken sandwich, a quick and fairly painless stop by a crowded bar for a friend's new job celebration. Then the night ended with a little housewarming at the new spot of some good friends. There was a lot of Turkish spoken so I wasn't entirely in the loop, but that was more than cool. I find that when the conversation's in english, plenty of it gets tuned out anyways, so always good once in awhile to find yourself in a social setting where there's just no way you're going to catch everything that is said. There aren't enough domestic get togethers and house parties in my day to day at the moment. Gotta find a way to change that for sure.
Alright, enough of my mildly interesting rambling. As matchbox 20 once said (remember them?) it's nearly 3AM and I must be lonely. Time to tinker away at a few things and hit the hay. G'night.
