Today is Dallas' birthday!!! Yeeee!!! I only wish I was home to party with her.
The boyfriend leaves in a few hours to go home. :( I don't know what I'm going to do without another person in the apartment. It's going to be so quiet. Maybe I'll watch the movies I got for cheap because Borders is going out of business.
Saw The Devil's Double last night with the boyfriend. Word of advice (to anyone who stumbles upon this entry): Don't. Don't bother. The true story of Latif is really interesting, but has been turned into just another Hollywood action film that loses its plot 20 minutes into the thing. Seriously, the audience hates Uday when the story starts and hates him in the end, so what was the point? And for the actor playing Uday to verbally say that he could not find one single reason to fight for his character makes him coward, in my opinion. Of course Uday was a monster, but if you want to be a great actor and make extremely interesting drama/conflict happen, you have to find reasons to like your character. You're boring if you don't. And that's exactly what happened with the film. Let's not even talk about how none of the main actors were Iraqis. The star is from England and the girl who played his lover is French. I'm only glad that I paid $4 to see this movie (thanks, Groupon).
