Seven Pounds (2008) - ★★★☆☆

So, Woody Harrelson has brown eyes at the end of this movie

Even though I know they didn't actually put Will Smith's eyes into Woody's skull, it still looks

Very weird!

Eventually you probably would get used to it but since it only happens at the end of the movie you don't really get a chance to

Not that I have anything against brown eyes! I have brown eyes! One time in my senior year of high school I had to go home after fifteen minutes because my eyes got really

P uffy and I was crying in the bathroom stall outside the auditorium. I'm not sure if it was allergies

Or something. Anyway this movie also has Rosario Dawson in it who was in Rent. Recently Rosario has been in the news because she was dating

Unsuccessful presidential candidate Cory Booker, someone I think

Nobody likes, probably not even Rosario

Dawson.

Shocking (that's a description of this movie, which really did have a shocking ending but that might have been only because I probably was not paying attention. I guess I probably should have figured out what was going to happen when Will Smith brought a deadly jelly fish to the motel room he said he was going to live in until he died.)

brown eyed Woody. You have to admit it's a little scary.

The Thin Red Line (1998) - ★★★★☆

Today, I am reminded of a poem by Stephen Crane titled " War is Kind ." This is a pretty tricky poem to understand, because the narrator keeps repeating the phrase "war is kind" throughout the poem. But at the same time, you sort of get the feeling that war, in fact, is not kind at all. When something is so contradictory, it's easy to get lost in the weeds; one might simply assume that this Stephen Crane guy, whoever he is, does not really have a mastery of the English language. That, or maybe he wrote the poem on opposite day. I'd like to proffer another possible solution to this issue. Maybe Stephen Crane was being ironic! If you think about it, 'kind' is probably one of the last words anyone would use to describe war. Even people who think war is good probably would not call it 'kind'—killing people is not really a 'kind' activity, any more than being killed is 'nice' or 'fun.' The Thin Red Line , a movie which is n...

The Hi-Lo Country (1998) - ★★★★★

A shockingly underrated and under-talked about Woody Harrelson masterpiece. Reminsicent of the classic Marty Robbins banger, "Tall Handsome Stranger," this is a must watch for cowboy fans and Woody Harrelson fans alike. Unequivocally Woody's best cowboy role!!!!!

Edtv (1999) - ★★★☆☆

I love friendship!!!!!!! I love it when people are friends!!! Whenever I come across a new set of friends, I filled with a sense of delight so large I dare not even put it into words. The friendship that has dominated most of my summer is that of Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Harry S. Truman from David Lynch's Twin Peaks . Harry and Coop are a perfect example of everything a good pair of friends should strive to be. They love hanging out together and enjoy doing many activities with one another, from eating donuts, to drinking coffee, to solving murders, to entering evil zones. Harry and Coop sharing a beautiful friendship moment!!! When I sat down to watch Edtv , the last thing I expected was that I would learn of another friendship as beautiful as the one shared by Harry and Dale. But expectations be damned! That's exactly what happened. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaaheuseygh met on the set of Edtv in 1999, and since then, they have been the best of friends, b...
