the vicious what?

this morning i watched the vicious kind. it was on my netflix instant queue and it said comedy. i laughed a couple times, but i don't think that makes it a comedy. it stars the was movie star from party down (i watched the first episode of party down after) as a fuck up brother. he picks up his fratboy brother and his brother's new girlfriend at college and drives them to their dad's house for thanksgiving.

it's a sad, quiet kind of writer/director movie about families in pieces, heartbreak, doing things you shouldn't, forgiveness and anger. i'm pretty into all those things right now, so i gave it 5 stars. plus, the two brothers are hot.

the best part was that the fuckup brother had just gotten cheated on and was a real mess about it. like, crying in the diner, picking fights with everyone mess. it was nice to see a guy that kind of mess, although i don't think he was dealing with it the way i would have.

i think it takes place in Connecticut. who really lives in Connecticut?

  1. do you mean the commercial guy? who's the movie star guy? if you're talking about the cute guy, he's pretty cute. this movie sounds right up my alley. i will keep an eye out for it to stream on instant. i'm almost done with buffy. i will get my life back, right?

  2. it's totally on instant and it's right up your alley.

    yes to the commercial guy. he really looks like a turtle, but it's a cute turtle. and, i just can't say enough about how angry he is in that movie.
