I'm looking at my site, and there you still are. Funny thing is, I know you'll read this...

Everything is quiet since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
I do the things we did before
I walk haight street to the store
And they say wheres that crazy girl
You dont get drunk on red wine and fight no more
I dont see you anymore since the hospital
The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
I m in the background
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you no
I would never lie to you no
I felt you long after we were through, we were through
The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And Im hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
Cause I felt you long after we were through
Well you come swimming into view
And Im hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel to you
I only know because
Im way Im way in the background
Im in the background

Go See: Eastern Promises

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 23:01:26 GMT

First movie I've seen in a long long time - since Knocked Up in July I think...

Eastern Promises is right up there with - dare I say it - the Godfather in terms of an authentic gangster film.

The reason it is NOT a pure "Godfather" classic is because of its scope, among other reasons.
The acting is amazing - the roles played by Viggo Mortensen (Aragon, LOtR) and Vincent Cassel (Toulour, Ocean's 12) are award worthy. Committed, bold and authentic. The other thing you will realize is that while the Godfather causes you to empathize with the main criminals by way of mostly their character, this movie is much clearer on why you should empathize with certain individuals, and who is truly evil.

There is no shortage of very lifelike violence and a deplorable sex scene but this movie managed to escape an NC-17 rating. It also contains one of the most gut-wrenching fight scenes you will ever witness.

It's beauty lies in its grittiness and realism. The Russian mob has never looked better. Overall, a masterpiece. 4 stars.

Giant sushi boat, water skiing, trapeze, kayak, infinity pool, wind surfing, snorkeling, tennis, golf, hibachi, free booze, ping pong, cheap gonja, karaoke through the enitre hurricane, and an amazingly friendly staff~
