| Eagle vs Shark |
 Today I rented what is now one of my new favourite films. It was a really bizzare movie that most people would barely make through ten minutes before shutting off, kind of like Napoleon Dynamite. But even so, I still wanted to keep watching. I even watched the credits straight through, which is an unspoken rule that I never do such a thing unless the ending credits have a spectacular song, which most don't these days.
The film was set in New Zealand (the accents were a lovely comfort of home for me) and the actors were so crudely awkward that you wonder how they were cast so perfectly. There was also intermittant scenes of claymation played out in nature scenes, particularly with a pair of apples, which was highly obscure, but somehow made a lot of sense.
The adventures ranged from getting fired, a costume party, stalking, dating, video game battles, a trip to the character's hometown, beating up a past bully, and so forth. But what got me most was the sheer innocence that the character's portrayed so hopelessly. It was cruelly sweet and sad to watch at the same time. And, to even benefit itself, the film had one of the best soundtracks I've heard in quite some time. Artists such as Luke Buda, Reduction Agents, the Phoenix Foundation and The Stone Roses (whom I adore greatly.)
All in all, it was magical. Awkwardly magical. But I am definitely adding it to my amazon.com shopping cart in the morning. There is a lot more watching to be done.
