When I was on the plane back home, I started wondering if it was worth it. After all, I was supposed to have worked this weekend. That's when I figured out that it may be exhausting and always a big hurry, but a trip to Rio is always worth it.

American Beauty (USA, 1999) ***** - Such a good film. Five starts for some great quotes, and to the fact that it could've been the most clichéd let's-win-the-Oscar film ever, and resisted the temptation (even though it is still a very potential-Academy-favourite movie). Great critique to America's "role model" society of perfect families and white fences. It'd been a while since I'd seen it.

"I don't think that there's anything worse than being ordinary." - Angela Haye, American Beauty

"- Are you trying to look unattractive?
- Yes.
- Well, congratulations. You've succeeded admirably." - Carolyn and Jane Burnham, American Beauty

"- This is a $4,000 sofa, upholstered in Italian silk. It is not just a couch.
- It’s just a couch!" - Carolyn and Lester Burnham, American Beauty

"- I'm not paying you to do... whatever it is you're doing out here.
- Fine. So don't pay me.
- Excuse me?
- I quit. So you don't have to pay me. Now leave me alone.
- ...asshole.
- I think you just became my personal hero! - Catering Boss, Ricky Fitts and Lester Burnham, American Beauty

"I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his shorts every time I bring a girlfriend home from school." - Jane Burnham, American Beauty

"Look at me, jerking off in the shower... This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here" - Lester Burnham, American Beauty

Movies with Folie, Manu, _annabel_lee and christycorr.

The Island (USA, 2005) ** - I thought a lot about giving the film a three. But, honestly, a film that has the potential to be excellent and falls in total cliché is, for me, an utter disappointment. There were some good lines, yes, and the plot, like I said, has great potential. *retrains self not to mention the terrible ending wirh home-made visual effects*

"- How come we never did this before?
- Shut up.
- That tongue thing is amazing!" - Lincoln Six-Echo and Jordan Two-Delta, The Island

"- Who is 'God'?
- You know when you really want something, you close your eyes and wish for it really hard? God is the guy that ignores you." - Lincoln Six-Echo and McCord, The Island
