The Tooth Fairy Not sure what happened here actually. I got distracted. Very gory. You know, I remember during a certain scene thinking about how it was a trend to chop off the whole man bits, but they never actually show it other than blood in the crotch. At that precise moment, they showed the offended man bit and I thought to myself "Oh. That's why they don't show it. That's fucking gross."

The Notorious Bettie Page Not a bad film at all. I dug the whole feeling the director was going for (black and white in that 50s feel for the majority of shots, vivid Technicolor feel for the Miami shots). I just felt the film was lacking something, but I can't put my finger on it. Gretchen Mol gave a great performance. I spent the whole movie trying to figure out where I saw her from (The Shape of Things). Amazing what a different hairstyle could do. But I felt she really captured the character. Actually, what the hell do I know? I never met the woman (Page, that is).

The DaVinci Code I cheated. I totally intended to read the book first, but I fell into the temptation of being able to get it off my Netflix. The movie was still entertaining, so I can only imagine how the book is (cause I hear the book is better). Shit like this makes me wonder though.
