I 'Let the Right One In'

Let the Right One In, what does that title mean to you? You have a choice, of either letting evil or good out, or in. This film was absolutely fantastic!! A great genre film that not only show us the "horror" of being a vampire but a great story of struggle and joy in adolescent life. Its a Narrative Film, which means the film is generally accepted as possessing two components: the story presented and the process of its telling, or narration.
Oskar is a 12 year old fragile boy who's bullied at school but is never able to fight back. One night he meets Eli, mysterious, bold, and is the one true spark that helps Oskar fight back. Although her moving in is coupled with gruesome murders Oskar eventually finds out that Eli is a vampire.
Dark, disturbing, hopeful and at the same time very tender, this film weaves friendship, loyalty, rejection and defiance into a beautiful masterpiece of cinematic film. I highly recommend it. Here is the trailer:

Re-Re-Cycle This Drink

Thought I'd write another entry on this bloggy-thinga-majing. So I decided to go out and venture in the midst of westside-land, Erins. Haven't been there in a long time so why not?
You walk in and you feel it. It's going to be one of those nights. I feel that every "bar" in El Paso has the same recycled type of people. For example: we have the older somethings, men and women, that have but one thing on their mind, "can i still snag me a 20-something? Do i still got it baby?"; then we have the 20-somethings, "how long do I have when I start looking like that Guy/Girl? Yeesh, better chug up!"
Doesn't matter where you go, visit the nicer bars and there they are, hole in the walls? Yup, over by the bar.
I'm tired of El Paso bars, The same faces look at you with their lust-hungry, need-to-get-out-of-here eyes. It's sometimes scary to be around that. Me? I'd rather drink at someones house. Free liquor? Ok Ok, I'll bring my own.
Chips? I'm there!
