Boys don't cry

Boys don't cry from 1999 - yes we are stuck in 1999 this weekend.
The movie is great even though we talked through it, the only time we were quiet were during the sex scenes and the ending. Even though we talked a lot we managed to understand the movie.

The movie is about Teena/Brandon (Hillary Swank) is a boy trapped in a girl's body. When she during a bar fight follows a couple of white trash, ex convicts people to falls city she meets Lana (Chloë Sevigny) who he/she falls in love with. The movie is based on the true events of Teena Brandon and her fate.
We would have cried if we hadn't talked so much because Elin knows she did that the first time she saw the movie. Mostly because of Chloë crying and then she started crying and everything was a crying mess. The movie is really nice and serious, and its hard not to be moved by the story. It's also very interesting when it comes to filming and the acting is top class.
...and the jukebox (elin) was silent tonight *gasp* she was pleased with the soundtrack.

So now Elin wants to turn boyish/girl so she can make out with Chloë, which is very understandable. It's scary how hot/talented she is. We're serious, no on can be that hot and still not be a Swedish girl.
Elin already has a perfect plan, on how to seduce her and make her a girlfriend to keep in her room here forever and ever until school ends. Then we bring her with us of course, she can live in Elin's bedroom, of course just to keep the bed warm.
So here's the plan;
1. Dream of her.
2. Cross our fingers until they turn white and we faint from blood loss.
3. Pray to a God we don't believe exist.
4. And never give up hope that someday she might even be able to meet her in real life.
Sounds like a good plan, eh

We give this movie a 8/10

- Now off to dream some Chloë dreams...
ps. we might have exaggerated a bit about the stalking Chloë part but we will dream about her, we promise.

But I'm a Cheerleader

But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)

as you might have noticed today was 1999 in Emelies bed. We saw Girl Interrupted and But I'm a Cheerleader who both where from 1999 and both had Clea Duvall in them (we know where're a sucker for her)

So the movie's about Meagan (Natasha Lyonne), a cheerleader, Christian and the girl next door who dates the football star (who obviously can't kiss for all the money in the world).
When she one day gets home from school she finds her parents and friends telling her she's gay and that she's going to be sent to a rehabilitation center for gay people so she can get straight.
Straight is Great... Yeah Right!!
When she's arrived both she and we get pink and blue colors thrown in our faces, it's not a pretty sight until we see Melanie Lynskey and Clea Duvall, then our smiles grow and grow till there's not skin left to stretch.
Megan get paired with the girl with the bad attitude (aka Graham played by Clea Duvall) and eventually starts to realize she's actually gay.
She start's to accept it and give in for her feelings knowing they're not wrong even though everyone says so.
It really is a sweet love story with a very satirical way to see it.
Natasha and Clea have such chemistry in the movie it just makes it itch when they're not together.

We love it, we love it, we love it when they're bad.

This movie gets a 8/10 and we don't see how our gay friend Henrik didn't like it. He might have a fear of blue and pink, then I do NOT recommend this movie... Otherwise see it.

P.S. Emelie starts to suspect Elin's high on Julmust cos she sees the moon everywhere. It follows her around even though Emelie insist on it to be a streetlamp. Guess who's high...

Girl Interrupted

Girl Interrupted (1999)

So who haven't seen this movie? the ones who haven't... shame on you!

The movie's about Susanna (Winona Ryder), a girl with a borderline disorder who finds herself in a mental institution. There she meets Lisa (Angelina Jolie) a sociopath who has a tendency of messing with people and playing with her stuffed cat.
Georgia, a pathological liar with a love for 'The Wizard of Oz' and we love her because she's played by Clea Duvall.
We also have Torch (aka Polly) a girl stuck in a childhood trauma after setting herself on fire, hens the name.
And last but not least we have Daisy (Brittany Murphy) who only can eat her father’s chicken and is addicted to laxatives.
We get to follow their ups and downs during Susanna’s time in the institution.

The movie's based on Susanna Keysen’s real life, there the name of the main character who also is named Susanna Keysen.
It's a strong, emotional and addictive story to follow. When you've started you can't relax until it's over.
You may find yourself crying, we know we did.

This movie gets a solid 9/10.
It's our favorite movie. This one and Disco Pigs, The Decent and D.E.B.S.

Loving Annabelle

Loving Annabelle from 200 and 6.
Its shockingly enough about a girl named Annabelle and her supposed to be hot school teacher. Surprise, surprise they fall in love after a few incidents. Honestly we don't give a crap about that storyline, we love the frog loving priest. Though of course our favorite was Collins, a misunderstood girl with a love for a porcupine. Who on the outtakes did not even want to be her friend. We have no idea how they persuaded him to be nice in the movie. Probably carrots.
We on the other hand would love to be her friend *wink* *wink*.

The plot is good but a bit cheesy sometimes. We felt more for the sub-characters and their stories then the actual leading roles. The thing that really bothered us was the none chemistry between Annabelle and the not so hot teacher. They really acted as if they had feelings for women before which both characters were supposed to have had.
Don't get us wrong, this is a movie worth seeing. We have seen it at least 4 times each and we still love it. SO SEE IT!!! if you want to have nice dreams about hot girls in school uniforms. Which we all of course want.

We give this a 7/10, 5 of those are for Collins and the porcupine.

We should also add that the movie watching was enhanced by my (Emelie) neighbor having rather rough sex in the other side of my wall. Either that or she hit her head in the wall just for fun. She and her girlfriend must have had a rough time or fun time, depends on how you look at it *wink* *wink*

- Hej Hopp Gummisnopp!! we got stuck in Emelie's bed ONCE AGAIN.

Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby

Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby (1999)

If you like watching crazy women murder men and then have some sex and find each other while they run from the police after breaking out of jail.
Then this is a movie for you.

So the movie fallows "White Girl" (Natasha Lyonne) who get sentence for a way to long time in jail. On the ride to the jail she meets Cyclona (Maria Celedonio) whom she shares cell with too. They decide to break out and finally do... We follow them from beginning till the end, they run to Mexico where Cyclona knows someone who wants to help... But White Girl soon realizes something’s wrong.

This movie's underrated like hell. The ending is awesome, the middle part's great and the beginning's pure genius.
The acting's Superb and the stories very interesting and has a lot of nice twists.

I really recommend you to watch this, and it has some nice spoofs on the first Freeway movie that I reviewed earlier.

I'll give it an solid 7/10

Sugar Rush

Sugar Rush (2005) is a TV-series about Kim, a 15 year old, frustrated lesbian who's sexually obsessed with her best friend Sugar, Maria Sweet.

So me (Elin) and Emelie watched both season one and two this week... I've seen the show about 16 times already and never get tired.
It's pure genius and Emelie did understand all the fuss I have been making about the show.
We sat down thinking of seeing maybe one or two episodes just to warm up but ended upp watching the whole first season at once.

So like I told you, the series about Kim, Sugar and Kim's dysfunctional family. There's Nathan, the dad, who Kim describes as half man, half piney. The mother Stella have no interests in the family things, she's no natural in being a mother, she just likes to run around and pretend she's in Kim’s age.
And Kim’s little brother believes he's from outer space and walks around with a bowl on his head.
So we get to follow Kim dealing with her problems, trying to figure them out and so on. And it never get's bored.

As you might understand after reading this above you being thinking the series abit wacked, and you're right. It is, but in a genius, smart and funny way.
Season one's awesome, season two's just pure ecstasy for the brain, ears and eyes.

This is one of my absolute favorite shows, have a shared first place with 'Dead Like Me', it's hard to choose one of them.
I'll give it a 10/10
Emelie gives it a 8/10

Pushing Daisies

The man who created the show in our last post (Dead like me), Brian Fuller, now have a new show out. Or new and new, it came out in 2007.
Pushing Daisies is a revolution in TV, the colors are stunning, the characters well developed and the way its done is just really great.

The stoy is about Ned, a pie-maker with a huge secret. With a mere touch he can bring life back to the dead. The first catch - he can only keep the person/animal alive for 60 seconds or someone else will die. Something he has only done 2 times. Once when his dog, Digby, died and then now when his childhood sweetheart Chuck ends up dead. The second catch - if he touches them again they are dead forever.
This gift is what Ned and his private detective partner Emerson use to solve crimes. Its a lot easier when you can ask the dead person who killed them.

Ned's neighbour and waitress at his pie-restaurant, Olive Snook is by far my favourite character. Played by Kristin Chenoweth, the short actress with the funny voice and comic timing of first class. Olive of course has the biggest crush on Ned who in return only has eyes for Chuck (who he can never touch). Her character is ditzy, crazy and somewhat annoying (in a good way). She has this comic side that makes the show a comic edge apart from the dark humor the show is filled of and saying her lines with a straight face should have granted her that Emmy she almost got this year.

We also have Chuck's aunts. The 2 craziest women you will ever see on TV.

The show is narrated a lot and its full of dialogue. This makes it a hard show to watch too much of but its only becuase you get so much in every episode.

Pushing Daises is a critic favourite and it just go picked up for a third season. I (Emelie) personally think seaosn 1 is genious and season 2 is just beyond genious so far. It may not be up to Dead like me standards but it is very close.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925266/

Emelie give this a 10/10
Elin gives this a 7/10 (so far, she has not seen all season 1 or any of season 2 yet)

Dead Like Me

Dead Like Me (2003)

This tv serie is pure genious, it's the best series we've ever seen. Just imagine this, a woman, a very pretty woman's hit in the head by a toiletseat falling from the space station Mir, that's is the most normal thing in the show.
That woman was Georgia or Geroge as she's called. She's now a reaper and work with a team of other very uniqe characters such as Daisy Adaire who's the coolest and most beautiful (and Blonde) woman in our hearts.
George also has the coolest little sister ever called Reggie, she's even more sarcastic than her sister, she likes play with dead birds and hang toiletseats in trees as a shrime to her dead sister.
Mason's a puppy, despiratley in love in Daisy Adaire, but unfortunally she only have her eyes on us.
Roxy invented the legwarmers, she's a meter maid gone cop gone princess on halloween. There's Rube the "daddy" who gives post its with (e.t.d.=estimated time of death) on them. It's what they do. They take souls before the person dies.
They never get hung over, they never get paid and even though this they always seems to drink, eat and drink some more.
The dialouges in the movie's pure genious, they're sarcasic and dark with a comic twist. You never get tired of this, we watched season 2 in two days.

The reason we tell you this is that the movie comes out in February, you should all go and see it.
If enough do they might pick up the series again, at witch point we'll be dancing naked through Sörängen, we promise some proof *wink **wink* if the serie's does get picked up.

We give this series a 1000/10 and if you don't see it we'll spank you.

"I'm so bloody smart, I'm almost retarted" - we love you Mason.


We also just watched a movie called Secret Admire, the only thing we rememberd from the movie where that Lori Loughlin where awesomly hot.
We give it a 2/10 both points for Lori... of course.

The movie sucked so much it didn't deserve a picture here.
