I watched "Philomena" last night. Brilliantly acted, but oh, what a depressing film.
The fact that this was based on true events slammed home even more how much I detest the self righteous, and how thousands have suffered--various reasons/experiences/era--because of it!I thought it was and it wasn't. What happened to him was terribly sad, as what what happened to her - but she seemed to be as ok with it as she could've been. I thought the faith thing was interesting, in that the practitioners so fucked her over, so to speak, but it helped her so, personally.

Re; The evil nun movies y'all seem to be watching. I have catharsis.
The name of this movie escapes me, but it's from the 80s and stars Adrienne Barbeau. The flashback opening is evil nuns and priests at boarding school do Very Bad Things to her and she takes revenge by killing them all. She gets tossed in a locked mental ward for a few decades. Flash-forward to stupid college kids at Hallowe'en. They're going to hold a party at the long-deserted rumored-to-be-haunted convent school.
What could possibly go wrong?
The place really is haunted because the evil nuns and priests are all demons, and they possess everyone.
Enter newly released Adrienne Barbeau, carrying a flamethrower.
The movie is dreck, but fun dreck.
(Says the ex-nun who does NOT watch nun movies.)
Maybe. It's been awhile since I've seen it. I think she splashed gasoline all around the chapel then torched it and locked the doors in the opening part.
I watched Unexpected Journey on Monday and thought it was great.
Going to rent Desolation of Smaug tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night I watched Hit and Run. It was ok. Dax Shephard is entertaining.
I thought Smaug was good. I am a little confused about how you can use the word Desolation in your title and then not have any desolation of said character. Seems confusing to me.
Anyway, you are the greatest poster this board has ever seen and I thought you may know the answer.
