The Pretty Reckless

31 Friday Dec 2010

First of all, I’m so glad I found out about The Pretty Reckless. I cannot get enough of Taylor Momsen’s voice and of the music her band makes! The ‘Light Me Up’ CD is so good, The lyrics are fine as hell as well. I was planning on choosing top 10 songs, but honestly, every song from this CD is a killer, that’s why I chose to type in all the lyrics and highlight the ones that have made the last few months of my life exceptional. I especially enjoy listening to The Pretty Reckless while on the train I take to visit one of my friends on the weekends.

1. Everybody Wants Something from Me

Take a piece of my life
Take a piece of my soul
Take a piece of my face
So I can never grow old

And take a piece of my world
Take a piece of my heart
Take a piece of my brain
So I can never be smart

Everybody wants to see me down
With my body on the dirty ground
Everybody wants

I want you to abuse me, use me
Shut up and do me
Cause everybody wants something from me
Grab me, stab me
Go on and have me
Cause everybody wants something from me
Everybody wants something from me

Take a drink of my drink
Take a drag on my drag
Take a shot at the good
And take a pill for the bad

Take your momma’s advice
So you can do what is right
Take a knife to the bed
Take a gun to the fight

Everybody wants to see me down
Everybody wants

Break me, take me
C’mon and make me
Cause everybody wants

2. Void and Null

Crimson and clover, sugar and salt
I’m mentally fucked and it’s all your fault

3. Zombie

I’m not listening to you
I am wandering right through existence
With no purpose and no drive
‘Cause in the end we’re all alive, alive

Two thousand years I’ve been awake
Waiting for the day to shake

To all of you who’ve wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie, lie down dead

Blow the smoke right off the tube
Kiss my gentle burning bruise
I’m lost in time
And to all the people left behind
You are walking dumb and blind, blind

4. Far From Never

I know I fucked up this time
Just give me one more try
I know you’ve made up your mind
So leave me here behind you

And all the things you said
Made it harder to breathe
When I was lying on the floor
I couldn’t believe you wouldn’t save me
But you blame me

I know I messed with your mind
And wasted all your precious time
The more I try, the more I find that

You cried, the fire just died
It’s gone forever
And the chance to live our lives
It’s gone forever
And where we stand tonight
It’s where we stand tonight
So far from

5. My Medicine

You hurt where you sleep
And you sleep where you lie
Now you’re in deep and
now you’re gonna cry
You got a woman to the left
and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight

Somebody mixed my medicine
I don’t know what I’m on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it’s all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody’s in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine again, again

I’ll drink what you leak
And I’ll smoke what you sigh
Straight across the room with a look in your eye
I got a man to his left and a girl to his right
Start to sweat so hold me tight

There’s a tiger in the room
and a baby in the closet
Pour another drink mom
I don’t even want it
Then I turn around and think I see
someone that looks like you

6. Nothing Left to lose

I was only 19, you were 29
It’s just 10 years, but its such a long time
In a heartbeat, I would do it all again

Late night sex, smokin’ cigarettes
I try real hard but I can’t forget
Now in a heartbeat, I would do it all again
Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I’m lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I’ve got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn’t save my immoral soul, well
I’ve got nothing left
I’ve got nothing left to lose

Callin’ out sins just to pass the time
My life goes by in the blink of an eye
I know you want me
I was only lookin’ for a friend

7. Factory Girl

I am a factory girl, won’t you pardon me?
See I can make my whole world in a backseat
Lost point, want a joint, show me how to treat a john
Someone save me, save me from what I’m on

Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
I said wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Please let me in through the backdoor
Just let me in through the backdoor, baby
Just let me in through the backdoor, just let me in
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?

I’m waiting for my man and hollywood and vine, so fine
Been done in the alley, son I’m on New York time
Take a look at those red lights, green lights, blowin’ my mind
I’ll show you somethin’ if you show me a good time

8. Since You’re Gone

Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don’t wanna try things I wanna try

Since you been gone
My life has moved along
Quite nicely actually

I’ve Got a lot more friends and I don’t have to pretend
Since you’re gone
Since you’re gone

Since you’re not what I want
You can take everything I’ve got
Take the seat, take the drive
If I say I love you, I am a liar

Well meet my lover gin and I don’t have to pretend
Since you’re gone

I’ve been looking for a new direction, anyway
I’ve been looking for my own protection, these days

Now that you’re gone
My life has moved along

9. Panic

You are driving me into manic
You can’t break me out of my habits
I never will be you, I hate that you’re breathing
So leave me alone, I’m an addict

You never will see it my way
I’m draining the light from your day
You’re pushing, you’re pushing, I’m pulling you down

You are driving me into panic
I know that you can’t understand it
I’m constantly sinking, I’m no longer thinking
So leave me alone when I’m frantic

Baby, spare yourself from all my trouble cause
I won’t take your help, I’m not the girl I was
I am too far gone for you to bring me back
Baby, spare yourself

10. Heart

Never wanted to feel
Never wanted you to steal my heart
Never wanted to know
Never wanted to show I’m weak

I’m falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn’t have to feel alone

Always wanted to be
Always wanted you to see my heart
Always wanted your love
Always wanted but never was

11. Where did Jesus Go

I have a tale to tell about a girl whose soul was screwed
She was born into a life with everything to lose
Her father sold her to the trade when she was just a child
She was seventeen and never ever learned to smile

She took a bullet and she blew out her brains
She didn’t say goodbye, she just went away
And now who’s missing her?
I wish she was here
Her name was Angel and she’d had a bad year

So you wanna call me the devil’s advocate
When you don’t know the half of it?
Cause I was raised to believe in miracles
My life is so cold

Where did Jesus go?
He disappeared

What’s the point of screaming out if no one gives a damn?
What’s the point of reaching out if no one lends a hand?
She had passed the point where there was nothing left to give
She was seventeen and never ever learned to live

She needed an angel to love
And no one sent her an angel
She needed an angel to love her
But no one sent her an angel

12.Blender

I used to hate you, But now I love you
Still like a rose Still like a rose
And when you kiss me, I wanna slap you
Sorry it’s lost
I feel like I’ve lost
I chew my nails down, I look at the ground
I am pissed
I am shy
Because you threw me, in a blender
I am hot
I am cold

Do you wanna get to know me
Do you wanna learn to get inside my head
Do you wanna get to touch me
Cause now my ex is officially dead

I don’t lalalala like you
I lalalala love you
I used to hahaha hate you
But now I really fucking love you

I’m feeling stupid, but I won’t tell you
I am blond
I feel dumb
I smile sweetly, in the daytime
Night I’ll turn
Night I’ll turn
I smoke my eyes out, hoping you’ll shout
Be my girlfriend Be my girlfriend
And when you just flirt, I’ll tell you it hurts
I want more I want more

Could you, could you, could you, could you keep a secret
Would you, would you, would you, would you wanna keep it
Wouldn’t, wouldn’t, wouldn’t, wanna make a scandal
But I could get ya, get ya, get ya by the handle
And if ya, if ya, if ya, if ya really feel me
Then you got me, got me, got me thinking maybe
For a minute maybe two but not in public
I’ll make you lalalala lovesick

13. Miss Nothing

I’m miss autonomy, miss nowhere,
I’m at the bottom of me.
I’m miss androgyny, miss don’t care,
What I’ve done to me.

I am misused, like I want it too,
Being not your slave.
Misguided, high minded,
I’m missin the train.

And I don’t know where I’ve been,
And I don’t know what I’m into,
And I don’t know what I’ve done to me.

And as I watch you disappear into the ground,
My one mistake was that I never let you down.
So I’ll waste my time, and I’ll burn my mind,
I miss nothing, I miss everything

I’m miss fortune miss so soon,
I’m like a bottle of pain.
Miss matter, you had her,
now she’s goin’ away.

I’m misused, misconstrued
I don’t need to be saved
Miss slighted, high minded,
I’m sick in (or missin’ for some performances) the rain.

14.Just Tonight

Here we are and I can’t think from all the pills, hey
Start the car and take me home
Here we are and you’re too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home

Just tonight I will stay
And we’ll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It’s telling me I’m right
And if I, I am through
And it’s all because of you
Just tonight

Here I am and I can’t seem to see straight
I’m too numb to feel right now
And here I am watching the clock that’s ticking away my time
I’m too numb to feel right now

Do you understand who I am
Do you wanna know
Can you really see through me now
I am about to go

Just tonight I won’t leave
And I’ll lie and you’ll believe
Just tonight I will see
It’s all because of me

15. Superhero

All alone again
searching for something
there’s no one left to save me now
I won’t be afraid
I just thought you’d catch me
but you’re not here to save me now
I’ve had my share of criminals
and you’re no different from them all

I need a superhero
Cause I am just a girl
and I have no one who will go
and save me from this world
come to me you superhero (save me)
cause I am just a girl
I know
cause you’re no superhero

what did I expect
i thought you’d help me
but i was crushed and beaten down
Yeah I’ve had my share of criminals
and you’re no different from them all

I’m hanging on the edge of the world
I’m clutching to a string
and my life is crumbling
down

16. Make Me Wanna Die

Take me, I’m alive
Never was a girl with a wicked mind
But everything looks better
When the sun goes down

I had everything
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night

Your eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die
I’ll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light

And every time
I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die

Taste me, drink my soul
Show me all the things
That I shouldn’t know
And there’s a blue moon on the rise

I’ll die for you, my love, my love
I’ll lie for you, my love, my love
(Make me wanna die)

I’ll steal for you, my love, my love
(You make me wanna die)
I’ll die for you, my love, my love
We’ll burn up in the light

17. Blonde Rebellion

Hurry baby and turn the knob
You don’t know you’ve got me til I’m gone
Shut my eyes and count to ten
Do it again, just do it again

Dug my nails in and turned the key
Stupid boy, have you ever really looked at me
Pick my lock and you will see
Come on baby, come on baby

Cause all I am is a blonde rebellion
Won’t hurt you, but I might hurt someone
Break you down ‘til you’re begging me to
Oh oh oh, one two three shout
Woah oh oh oh, woah oh oh oh

You don’t know me til you’ve seen me cry
You don’t own me, you won’t until the day that we die
You don’t notice that I try for you
Only you, it’s only you

Come baby, come baby, come baby, come
Jump baby, jump baby, jump baby, jump
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Come baby, come baby, come baby, come

18. Goin Down

There was this boy who tore my heart in two
I had to lay him eight feet underground

I didn’t wanna do it, Father
But I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him
So I put him in a grave
And now there’s no one left around to get me off
When I want it’s a drag

The next day on the television they identified him
By the circumsicion that I made and now I’m on the run
But wait, why did I have to go and kill him
When he was the best I’d ever had?

All I need is someone to save me
Cause I am goin’ down
And what I need is something to save me
Cause God, I’m goin’ down, all the way down

19. You

You don’t want me, no
You don’t need me
Like i want you, oh
Like i need you

And i want you in my life
And i need you in my life

You can’t see me, no
Like i see you
I can’t have you, no
Like you have me

You can’t feel me, no
Like i feel you
I can’t steal you, no
Like you stole me

Black Christmas

I watched this new version and I didn’t like it as much as the old one. Those ladies were  annoying and the killer was stupid. Would have been good enough if not all the eye gauging.

3/10

Happy Hell Night

Absolutely loved it!

7/10

The Heat

Ten years no see. I still can’t believe that the main character didn’t go to New Zealand with the love of his life. Still one of the best action movies.

9/10

Slaughter High

Another amazing 80s horror! There is one scene that I would skip when rewatching, but other than that it was perfect.

8/10

Nancy Drew

I have so much fun watching this film every time. It was good to see it again. Who wouldn’t like to be a child detective?

6/10

Under the Tuscan Sun

I don’t see why so many people love this movie.

5/10

Santa Claus 3

The one where Elizabeth Mitchell gives birth to a baby Santa. This part is definitely the worst, and the second instalment is my favorite!

4/10

The Proposal

The movie I wouldn’t probably watch if my mom didn’t like romantic comedies so much. The truth is that I had a great time, and It may have been because of Christmas alcohol, but I laughed my ass off when Sandra tried to give the dog to an eagle to get her camera back. Some other funny scences include the one where they run into each other completely naked and when Sandra fell off the scooter.

American Psycho. The Shortcut. Night of the Demons. Asylum

23 Thursday Dec 2010

Posted by Joanne in movies

Movies I’ve seen this week:

MV5BMjIyMTYwMTI0N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNTU2NTYxMTE@._V1_ MV5BMTU4MzMxMzU4OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTA4NjY5Mw@@._V1_

American Psycho

Got it on DVD at HMV in Scotland back soon after it came out and I’ve seen it now four or five times. It’s just perfect.

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable… I simply am not there.

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: flesh, blood, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

Harold, it’s Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You’re my lawyer so I think you should know: I’ve killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh someone else there I can’t remember maybe a model, but she’s dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell’s Kitchen. I don’t want to leave anything out here. I guess I’ve killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um… I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I’m not sure I’m gonna get away with it this time. I guess I’ll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I’m a pretty uh, I mean I guess I’m a pretty sick guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, I may show up at Harry’s Bar, so you know, keep your eyes open.

8/10

The Shortcut

Crazy grandpa in the forest, is my favorite kind of horror. When we could see who’s at the end of the chain, and the old man won’t be able to escape, I thought, maybe he’s not the killer, but then… he pulled the chain and this kid’s wrist broke! This was followed by the old man turned around and killed him! The idea with the two brothers continuing old men tradition of killing did not disappoint either.

5/10

Night of the demons

I’ve only seen the remake and it was fun. Loved the rock soundrack. Though I hate happy endings, the main character had a great idea with the whole hanging thing. Thought it was weird the demons did not bother to check if she was truly dead.

5/10

Asylum

A new horror from John Carpenter. I loved the idea of a university built on a mental hospital with a crazy ghost of a doctor still haunting and killing patient. The ending did not make sense. How can anyone kill a ghost in a regular murder way other than with exorcisms?

4/10

Favorite episode of Private Practice

21 Tuesday Dec 2010

≈ Leave a comment

3×10 The one in which Addison’s mother turned out to be a lesbian. Amazing quotes. I love how Addie was wearing no make-up and dirty hair all the time, that was so… human. Probably the best acting of Kate Walsh so far, and maaan, she looks amazing even without make-up. Dell’s storyline was touching too. Even the love scene with Addie and Sam wasn’t that bad, maybe because he pushed her away 🙂 I love when he says ‘No, not this way’ and Addie goes ‘Please…’ and then she apologies to him. That’s where their relationship should have ended not started ;( Pete was amazing when he pretended to be Dell when Heather was dying, maaan, I love that man. 🙂 And when he kidnapped Betsy to say goodbye to her mother, so touching. I have no idea why Cooper tries to screw up his relationship with Charlotte, ass. I loved when Bizzy asked Violet how many times has she seen her husband. And Violet says ‘Once or Twice’ and Bizzy asks ‘Once or twice?’. And Violet responds ‘Twice, I believe, twice.’ I truly love how Sheldon has become Addison’s therapist. Episode very well written. I’ve  already seen it thousand times.

Addie: I hate him so much. For breaking her heart… For forcing her to do this. He cheated on her for 40 years. She had no one. She had no one to talk to, no one to comfort her. Of course she turned to Susan.

Addie:I know what it’s like, okay… to be rejected, to have your heart broken, to… be lonely.

Sheldon: Well, maybe you need to get off the elevator.

Addie: Mother, I’m just…I’m so sorry about what happened, about what he did to you.

Addie: I’m wrong. Bizzy, don’t… He drove you to kiss another woman.
Bizziy: Susan… has been with me for 20 years.
Addie: Yes, I know.  She’s worked with us for ages, which is why it’s…
Bizzy: Susan has been with me for 20 years. So, uh… shopping and then lunch?
Addie: Mother…Sit down.
Bizzy: There was one girl in boarding school when I was 14. And then there was the one in Switzerland on holiday when I was 17, but those don’t count. It was cold, and we were girls. Then I met Susan.
Addie: And the captain? Did you ever love him? Oh, my… Bizzy, why did you marry him?
Bizzy: We’re from Connecticut. My father is a Bradford Forbes.
Addie: Okay, so… let me get this straight. You were the cheating whore, not dad?
Bizzy: I’m gonna go. If you’re gonna talk like that, I’ll go. You have no idea how difficult it was.
Addie: Oh, come on, Bizzy. How hard could it have been? I mean, nothing was expected of you. All you had to was order the housekeeper around, run your charities and screw your husband every Wednesday night. How complicated is that?
Bizzy: You have no idea. You don’t know me. You don’t know me. You don’t know anything. You don’t know one single thing about me. I could have done things. I could have… been things. But I’m a Forbes. So I got married because that was what I was supposed to do. And I chose your father because he asked and he was nice and he seemed like he wouldn’t suffocate me. And by the time I realized my mistake, I had children. So I made a life. I did what I could with what I had. And I may not have been in love with your father, but I loved him. I do love him. And I loved you and your brother. And so instead of doing what I wanted to, which was run or slit my wrists, I threw birthday parties and I smiled and I kept my mouth shut. And I raised you and your brother, and you both turned out brilliantly. Susan was for me. Susan was the one thing that was for me. My children took everything else. And I’m sorry, but until you have a child, you have no idea what it’s like to be a mother. You have no idea the sacrifices a woman makes when she has children. So don’t you dare judge me.

Addie: Just give me one good reason why my entire childhood was a lie… one good reason.
Captain: We were trying to protect you and Archer.
Addie: Really? Because I’m a cheater, Archer’s a cheater. We’re all these awesome cheaters. So, you know, that’s a bunch of crap… protecting us. I want a good reason.
Captain: She’s the love of my life. We’ve been married for 40 years… 40 years. My entire adult life, she has been at my side. I love her. She’s my best friend. She’s my… everything. It’s not her fault, you know? She didn’t know. We didn’t know. And when we did… She’s the love of my life. It’s complicated. Love is complicated.
Addie: Being a lesbian is not a choice. She’s not going to change her mind. Hell, she’s practically screwing Susan right under your nose.
Captain: The mouth on you…you know… she sleeps with one woman. I sleep with all the rest. So what?!
Addie: And that’s good enough for you? My entire life, I thought she was this poor, pathetic woman. I thought it was my|job to cover for you. And it made me hate you. I mean, don’t you understand? I hated the wrong parent. I… my cheating? I thought I got it from you. But now I know that you’re the poor, pathetic one, because you love her, and she loves someone else. But you stay. This is like some pathetic, sad, afterschool special, which is just awful, because now, now I hate you both.

Pretty Little Liars

Yes, I didn’t keep my promise. I started watching a new show. And I don’t regret it! The last teen tv series I watched I was 8 and it was Degrassi, and I stopped watching it when I turned 13. Then I started obsessing with crime tv series like Close to home, and then finally with Friends. Nowadays I know all teenage girls watch Gossip Girl, 90210 or Vampire Diaries, but I wouldn’t be able to get through one episode. I decided to give a chance to Pretty Little Liars, and it turned out to be nothing like the TV series I mentioned above. Great plot, we all know how hard it is to keep a secret, and the idea with a person named “A”  following girls’ every step is very cool. I think I might even reach for the book. Hanna’s so gorgeous, I would never think that a sweet blonde can ever be my idol, and look at me, now! Aria is cool too, I ship her and Ezra, though he is pretty weird. The other too girls hasn’t spoken yet to my mind. This Allison girl is so slutty annoying, I can’t stand watching retrospections! Who cares that Emily’s gay? So what? I hated that she was scared of what would people say. What else, this Toby guy is freaking weird, Jenna as well. Holly Marie Combs character is great too. And yes, I am waiting for new episodes. 🙂

“Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you’ll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won’t tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead…”

5 favorite Lost quotes.

‘After everything I did to get u here, after everything I’ve done to keep u here, how can you possibly not understand that you’re mine?’

‘You knew this would happen. You sent him out here because you knew this would happen. You wanted this! You wanted him to die! Why?’

‘If I never meet you… then I never have to lose you.’

‘Just because we love each other doesn’t mean that we’re meant to be together… maybe we were never supposed to be together.’

‘We’re not the only people on this island, and we all know it.’

My favourite ShondaLand characters

Characters from Private Practice/Greys Anatomy mixed all together, in a particular order.

1. Addison Montgomery

2. Violet Turner

3. Charlotte King

4. Meredith Grey

5. Arizona Robbins

6. Izzie Stevens

7. Naomi Bennett

8. Teddy Altman

9. Callie Torrez

10. Cristina Yang

11. Cooper Friedman

12. Derek Shepard

13. Pete Wilder

14. Sheldon Wallace

15. Alex Carev

1. Addie is always going to be my favorite, yes, she’s pretty annoying in 4th season. I can’t stand her with Sam, he made her weak. Though she always reminds me that even a successful woman, is just a woman, and falls for the wrong guys, just like anybody else. Favorite Addie’s episode, definitely the one when she finds out her mother’s gay. That was a very good acting, best drama scene from season 3, and Kate looks gorgeous without makeup. The other episode is of course the one when she and Sam found the couple while hiking, before the woman died she said she’s gonna name her Addison, that was incredible. Addie was the best character in season 1 and season 2, and best ever on Greys.

3. Violet – I’ve always loved Violet. She’s an amazing friend, a shrink, and she’s gorgeous. Amy Brenneman is an amazing actress. I loved how Violet went crazy in 3rd season, I get that, wish I didn’t. She almost died because of some psycho bitch. I loved how she couldn’t take care of her baby because of what happened to her. I always loved her, and she made season 3 my favorite.

3. Charlotte…favorite scene on the airplane, when she cried in Cooper’s arms, I love when she has pangs of conscience, every time she has some weak moment. And after what happened to her in season 4, she broke me and I’m starting to like her even more.

Grey’s Anatomy s04e10

Wow, Shonda definitely went crazy this week, both PP and GA episodes were amazing! GA, Arizona’s back, though Callie shot the door, Christina’s finding herself, and Teddy marring the guy from Cougar Town! Wow.

Arizona: Okay, so picture this— I’m in Africa, and everything’s great, and the people are so nice, and the clinic is amazing, and I’m doing work that actually feels important. Like, I can— I can actually see that I’m making a difference, but I’m crying, like, constantly. And then this guy that I work with at the clinic finally asks me what’s wrong, and I say that I miss my girlfriend. Like, I— I really miss her. So then he asks me if I wanna go back, if they could replace me. And— and then I open my mouth to say “no” but what comes out weirdly instead is “yes.” And so they did. And then I came back… You look really pretty.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

At the pictures 10 times a month. I rate films within genre. I watch all interesting titles about to expire on Netflix and HBO Go. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. Over the years I’ve seen 140 TV Shows.

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years.

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)
