I heart Amelie so much. I have hired it so many times from the video library I've probably paid for the cost of buying it 3 times over. I just never have a spare $30 around to actually purchase the DVD. That and Lost In Translation I think are my two favourite films - although there are so many more...how to choose!

80. Garden State - 10/10

I am disgusted.

C'maaaaaaaaawn!

That bit? With the arrow? Hi-larryous!!!

And I think it developed me a girl crush on Natalie Portman...

The Student said...

I would go Natalie Portman so hard and fast that God would have to shut down earth for a week.

BUT - that movie is crap, for no reason other than the fact that Braff CANNOT act.

Enny said...

Yeah - I'll admit he wasn't all that (I'm more for his Scrubs style) but he did write it so he must've had something to do with N-Po's success in it.

(Although he didn't write 'Closer' and I didn't mind her in that one either!)
