Since last weekend I’ve watched a lot of movies. I can’t be bothered to review them all and I’m sure you can’t be bothered to read about them. I do feel, however, that I should let you know what those movies were in case you think I’m lying to make myself seem interesting and cultured (as you know, I am neither). I have given the films a score based on how much I enjoyed them (rather than scoring them according to their merit and significance, which I annoyingly and normally do).

Wallace And Gromit And The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit - 8 out of 10
The Corpse Bride – 7 out of 10
The Fantastic Four – 8 out of 10
Batman Begins – 9 out of 10
Yossi And Jagger – 6 out of 10
Mysterious Skin – 9 out of 10
The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things – 7 out of 10 (would have been a much lower score if I hadn’t read the book)

What a rainbow coloured line-up! And we don't even live in a ghetto!!
Camp - Wallace and Gromit, Corpse Bride
Beefcake - Fantastic Four, Batman
Gay - Mysterious Skin, Heart Is Deceitful, Yossi

Quite high scores, eh. I’m obviously not suffering through a ‘hard to please’ critical phase at the moment. This will explain why a simplistic and “quite Brokeback-ish” 65 minute film about gay Israeli soldiers hiding their love was given a high score of 6 out of 10 (yes, that is a high score). Maybe I was in a good mood before watching it because we had been out to buy a new vacuum cleaner and some radiator paint.
