we've got to move on, dear....escape from this afterlife

Art School Confidential= okay Indie movie. I've never really been a fan of John Malkovich, and seeing him in this movie didn't help.
It highlighted the life of an artist fresh into college (Strathmore in NYC...don't know if it really exists or not) who falls in love with one of his models, and not having won her over decides to attempt suicide at the end of the movie, before he is taken to jail due to being suspected of murders happening in the area. Parts of it made me giggle, and I really like Anjelica Huston (She's the best in Ever After). But it was a bit of a disappointment overall and maybe not the best movie to watch with your mom (there are several full-frontal nudity scenes and a murder scene with a woman being strangled to death, among lots of profanity and sexual references). I don't know, I feel a bit like i've seen it before.

While we're on the topic of movies, can I just say that Edward Cullen sounds 100 times sexier with his American accent? I know the English accent can be sexy and all, but I see him in interviews and I'm just sitting there, nonplussed. I should ask some of my other more "hardcore" Twlilight fans if they feel the same way. Although I'm pretty sure they'd take him with any accent, any hairdo, whatever- Robert Pattinson is a fox. (Go Google GQ's cover of him, you'll be happy you did.)
