| Yesterday, I watched the movie Cruel Intentions. I'm afraid this will have to be a short review - those of you who are regulars will know that when I review movies, I dwell on the things that sucked. Mostly, this movie does not suck. I was amused and entertained throughout. The bloke plays the role very well, and Sarah Michelle Geller is passable, if a bit typecast. I found myself sympathising vastly with the bloke - even though I'm not a manipulative bastard, I have the skills to be, so I found myself cheering on the guy and lamenting when his timing on a particular piece of manipulation was suboptimal. Mm. It's a chick-flick, but it's a good chick-flick. One of those rare occasions, now, in which I recommend it. There.

| You're recommending a generic chick flick? Ye gods... ah, how your spurning of my various left-field art film recommendations, makes such bitter sense now. |

| Ryan Phillipe was the bloke, wasn't he? Let's not forget this is hardly a generic chick flick, it's based on the literary endeavours of the great French auteur Choderlos de Laclos after all. It's still nowhere near as good as Requiem for a Dream of course ;) |

| Or Being John Malkovich. Hmm. I think the only two films that I have had RB watch that he liked, were Santa With Muscles and Dark Star. Tsk. |

| I didn't like Dark Star either. |

| Hey! I resent that comment! |

| Suck like... a raven. |

| Antihero; I dunno, after we got finished with Dangerous Liason and Valmont, I think we're firmly into generic territory. |
