I’m sitting at my computer right now and I can hear the sound of rain and sleet pounding against my window. Though I’ve been stuck in my apartment for 3 days reading papers in preparation for my PQE, I’ve still managed to keep up my daily allowance of movie-watching. Here’re my thoughts on the movies I’ve watched this week:

Spider: David Cronenberg is crazier than Ralph Fiennes who’s crazier than the crazy main character

2 Fast 2 Furious: 2 pretty cars, 2 bad actors

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: kudos to Sam Rockwell as a convincing TV producer/CIA assassin

Down with Love: colorful, sassy, and incredibly charming

Underworld: never thought Kate Beckinsale or black leather looked good until they were put together
