I'm pretty sure I have ADD

I was never diagnosed or anything...But when it takes me one week to do an English worksheet on 1 chapter of Frankenstein...You begin to wonder.

Now most people think if you have ADD you only watch TV and don't read books. My problem is that I love reading books-and I have ADD. To prove my point I present:

All The Books I am Currently In the Middle of Reading
1. The Elements of Screenwriting
2. Bruce Lee's Fighting Method
3. The Radioactive Boy Scout
4. The World Encyclopedia of Flags
5. Teach yourself: Screen Writing
6. Wicked
7. Making Documentary Films and Reality Videos
8. Country Western and Blues Harmonica

I need a whole week where I do nothing and someone needs to take away my library card.

Stanger Than Fiction

I just saw this movie tonight. I was expecting a light hearted comedy with the typical Will Ferrell humor. Fortunately I was wrong.
This movie actually makes you believe that Will Farrell can act instead of just tell jokes and over-exaggerate his emotions in front of a camera. I think that enough would make me want to see it...But it gets better. His acting in this is like that of Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love, however he still makes us laugh.
This movie makes you feel for Will Ferrell's character Harold Crick so you feel pain when he messes up, says the wrong thing, and hears from the narrator of his life, "that little did he know" he would die. The best part is the end where the theme of the movie comes out...The problem is that if I were to tell you why the theme is so great...It would ruin the film.
I would make sure this is the next film you watch.


Other good films to make sure to catch in theatres
1. The prestige
2. The Departed
3. Casino royal

Here is my current TOP FIVE MOVIES

I am basing these five movies on entertainment, quality of plot/dialogue/acting, and the artistic merit of the Cinematography.


The first one is a classic. If you haven't seen this yet-you need to. I like this because it has a great story and wonderful acting; not to mention it is the classic Christmas movie. So therefore number five is "It’s a Wonderful Life." How can you not love this movie? (If you don't your not a human being)

This next movie was nominated for and Oscar (Best Documentary '03). Spellbound is the best documentary I have seen. It is so amazing how the director was able to make something as "lack-luster" as a spelling bee into an (in)tense competition. Moreover he (and the people themselves) were able to create a connection between you and the competitor that you cheered when they one, and felt bad when they spelt the word wrong. The other great thing they do is they are able to introduce a "bad-guy" that you just want to hate...until after the movie is done you realize that he is only 12 years old and this is just a spelling bee.

Number three is Garden State. Zach Braff is all around a good writer/director/actor. To me it is the best love story so far of this decade. Also Natalie Portman's character is so weird you want to love her to. I also like how the cinematography of this movie was done and the symbolism used throughout the movie. Such as the beginning when he is in his room and everything is white and blank. That told us so much about the character that when he started interacting with people it seemed we already knew where he was coming from and who he was. Also the music chosen for the movie was done very well and the best movie I've seen that's soundtrack is all ready produce music and not composed specifically for the movie.


So what will number 1 and 2 be? I'll give you a clue what the next two are...one of them is a Japanese film, the other had both Owen and Luke Wilson in it.
