For the first time ever, in two days I went to the cinema twice! First I watched Marie Antoinette with my aunt (who fell asleep and missed the scenes with the swedish count :D ), and then we all went and watched Eragon! It was a great day, we went to the local MacDonald too, and I bought a new pink sweater. ^^ About the movies:

Marie Antoinette - I'd say, 7/10. The first part was really good, and the costumes, colours, the script, everything felt interesting. Then it started dragging, repeating the same scenes over and over, and the second part was terribly rushed. Kirsten Dunst was great, and I liked how they decided not to show the french people: all the movie is seen from Marie-Antoinette's point of view, so they were great at showing how she lived in a sort of external dimension, without even knowing there was an entire world outside Versailles. Even so, you can't really feel sympathetic with someone who just keeps throwing parties, buying shoes and wigs, and getting drunk all day long, so in the end I wasn't that much worried about her getting her head cut off. Anyway, the picture sequence, the one with the changing of the painting, is a little masterpiece in itself.

Eragon - 5/10. Good points: Jeremy Irons, Jeremy Irons, the natural settings, Jeremy Irons. The director was probably drunk while shooting this movie, the script is full of holes (I haven't read the book, so I was missing any help to get what was going on), the dialogues are ridicolous. A few scenes were copied and pasted from Lord of the Rings, just in case. Not to mention the house burning in the rain. All the audience started laughing, it was so embarassing. And I still wonder where all the King's soldiers had gone... All in all it looks like your average tv-movie, so watch it only for Jeremy Irons and the baby dragon. And look out for the Uruk-Hai-wannabees:"We're big! We're ugly! We have...tattoes all over our face! Grrrrrraaawwwllll!"

About me, I've even started studying a bit for next february's exams! I bought a videogame for my cousin at christmas, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and we're all spending hours a day playing it taking turns. I'm even clumsier than I thought, but it's so funny! ^^
