GIRL, INTERRUPTED DVD REVIEW: A pretty good movie!
I don't usually watch the Oscar's because for many years, people and movies I expect to win, never do. So, when I see a DVD that has "Oscar nominee" or "Academy Award Winner" and even "One of the best films of the year!" on the covers, I tend to say.."yeah, right! Whatever..."

I purchased the DVD of "GIRL, INTERRUPTED" and one of the driving forces for me to buy this is for the acting of Winona Ryder (watch her eyes because those emotions are within the eyes) and Angelina Jolie that is currently the eye candy for many entertainment magazines at this time.

After watching this movie, I must say that I was actually very pleased with the storyline. It's actually a very good story and the interaction among the girls was really interesting. James Mangold said in the director's commentary that it was about adding conflict and the conflicts between Susanna and Lisa or Susanna and her nurse and of course Susanna with Susanna is very well done.

Winona Ryder is a talented actress and again her eyes play a big part in this movie. In fact, the HBO First Look: "The Making of GIRL, INTERRUPTED" goes into that. As for Angelina Jolie, she did a perfect job in playing Lisa. With all the rumors and news going around, sometimes I wonder if Angelina and Lisa share anything in common. She deserves the Academy Award for playing a convincing sociopath.

The video quality of the movie is pretty good but there are noticeable artifacts during the dark scenes. The audio is good and you don't get so much because it's a dialogue driven movie. I think the only time I heard sounds from the speakers is when they rode on the VW van and you hear the engine.

What about the extras? Well, first, let's be thankful they made it anamorphic and they included the director's commentary, deleted scenes and an isolated music score. The HBO making of is very interesting to watch and the theatrical trailers for Winona and Angelina's movies were a nice touch.

So, overall you get a pretty good DVD with a pretty good story. Some might deem this as more of a movie more for women but I think both genders can enjoy this movie. It has a nice blend of drama, comedy and a few dark moments. Check it out!

VERY HIGH QUALITY
This is the one of very few movies I can watch time and time again. Every time you can see something new in it. It is well done from all prospectives and points of view but acting takes the cake. All actors (leading, supporting and just a figure in the hall) were good and I don't even know who was better. They all deserve the highest marks. I reccomend this movie with five stars.

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
Girl Interrupted was on last tonight. You know when the shoplifter reads about BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER? What a revelation! That's me - well, except for the CASUAL SEX - but the DIRECTIONLESSNESS and the SELF-DESTRUCTIVE ACTS (I quit my job the other day).

All this time I thought I was an existentialist. I was wasting my evenings on Camus and Kierkegaard (my back is like a tightrope dancer's, twisted in my childhood, and therefore it is easy for me. One, two, three - I can walk upside in existence). What comfort: the condition is medical not metaphysical.

All I needs do is clear up my skin. Then I aim to complete those symptoms ... and I'd like to begin with Anjelina Jolie ... and even if she got all serious on me, that would be okay: I'd explain to her: the disorder was what was casual (- it was part of my directionlessness). Not you. My aim is true - I'm an existentialist.
