Adaptation
Easily one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I almost don't even want to start explaining it because it will just confuse you and myself. Nicolas Cage plays Charlie and Donald. Identical twin brothers. Both aspiring screenwriters. Charlie's writing a screenplay for Meryl Streep's book, "The Orchid Theif." The book has no plot but talks about a Man who is obsessed with orchid flowers. What Meryl is really writing about is the passion this man has for flowers. How nothing else in the world gets in between him and his flowers. She realizes she has no passion in her life. Charlie becomes obsessed on writing this screenplay but has no leads because the book has no plot. He's an insecure, balding, fat middle aged man. His bro Donald ends up writing a thriller ........fuck this.....i can't explain it anymore. Just go rent it.

Igby Goes Down
Well I didn't get the porn I expected, judging by the title of this film, but I did get a great movie with a messed up plot. Always a favorite of mine. Main character: Igby, played by Kieran Culkin (yes, the brother of Macauley). He plays a brother to the seductive Ryan Phillipe, and son to Susan Sarandon. The family is filthy rich and like all rich families....completely insane. The father (Bill Pullman) is in a crazy house, Sarandon is a pill-popping, speed addicted bitch, Phillipe is momma's little perfect college boy, and Igby, oh Igby, is the rebellious 17 year old who smokes pot, and stirs up shit at school. Mama ain't so proud of him. So they send him off to military school, and then to live with Uncle DH (Jeff Golblum aka:sexy fuckin' bitch) So through out the movie Igby gets some hot ass from Amanda Peet and Clare Danes, their mother gets cancer and promises the boys that they can kill her since they hate her so much. This was actually the most bonding moment of the entire film. The family was getting along. They feed her poison and put a bag on her head. It was touching......really.
