I just love a good movie. Not long ago I was most taken by the movies "Derailed", with a most fantastic performance of Cliwe Owen, and well rather the charm of Jennifer Aniston. A perfect movie about a situation when a Man refuses to fall victim of the situation and grows up to the task, defeating all his boundaries, breaking any rule, using any force necessary to protect what he really believes in.

Truth be told, I believe the path of self righteousness is one to be walked by few, whose motives are just and hearts are pure. (V for Vendetta did this to my English)

I had to separate this sentence from the rest, appearantly the movie really had an effect on me, however, I truly believe that self righteousness is not be promoted very much, because the man excercising it asks noone to judge weather the goals are so pure. The man down the street in the little grocery store.. should definately not be running around shooting people for what he believes in. This example wonderfully points my next movie, I had just seen tonight and it was good enough to make me write this post. V for Vendetta, from the Wachowski brothers, and James McTeigue (sorry buddy if I mispelled it, your ancestors should have thought twice). Anyway HERE is the imdb link to it, and its a most charming combination of comic (as in comics, not funny but drawn literature) screenplay, wonderfully shot scenes, a bloody well found "feeling"... some killing... oh and most importantly Natalie Portman. For those of you semi-fans, her hair is cut, she is starved to the bone and tortured for some time, and she looks accordingly, but that is what makes her a good actress. She can be the beautiful little sexy girl and the almost ugly tortured gollam-like being in one movie. As a minor add-on this, this is one of those movies that put the world in a hypothetic stasis which could very well exist. After the scene and great characters are placed, it just plays along. Putting all sorts of people among these wonderfully coherently changed circumstances. It gets more interesting as you go deeper watching a very interesting storz unfold. Enough of me, put your hands on it, I loved it soo much. Here are some appatisers:
