went to see nicotina last night, a film by hugo rodriguez. it was actually better than the reviews i had read about it. i usually try not to go to movies based on reviews but i knew so little about this movie i read some to figure out what it was about. there are some bank codes, diamonds, a couple of russians, and a deal gone bad. yes, it is tarantino-esque but that's not the overall impression i got from it. all of the characters were well developed the story was interesting. the coincidences of events felt a little forced at times but overall it was a good popcorn movie. my friend ryan suggested that it could have been more interesting if they had followed the person with the cigarette and that cigarette was what killed them. it'll make more sense if you see the movie. and you know i am all about the diego luna love, but the other guy in it, lucas crespi, is very good looking. apparently he's been on tv in argentina but not too many films yet. make another one, dammit! i also watched ella enchanted from netflix last night. not good, not good. it was just cheesy and i thought the parts with the giants had bad special effects. you could practically see the blue screen. i cringed and almost couldn't watch the last song and dance scene.

i was out for most of the night, so no real knitting news. :(
