now that im studying for the gmat and taking the princeton review classes (stop mocking me. i am just not a good test taker and need the extra help), i find myself scrutinizing tenses, whether the verbs match, am i using parallel construction? am i using the correct prepositional phrases and idioms? i am spending much more time than i thought i ever would and i haven't picked up a book or magazine in more than 3 weeks (other than the In Touch's and Us Weekly's i get at the nail salon).
because last week was crammed with moving and writing my final paper for my other class, i had to resort to hiding out in the office bathroom to do my gmat homework.
i am so conditioned to think about gmat that when i got too annoyed by angelina jolie's terrible accent on alexander, i actually flipped open my books and started doing some problems. either i am slightly off kilter or angie's acting was simply too repulsive.
on the topic of alexander- it is possibly one of the worst epics i have ever seen. the costumes shine so brilliantly everyone looks like they are in a broadway musical, not in ancient greek times. the dialogue is so inane and mindless i feel like they take the audience for fools. the actors are horribly cast and really do themselves as well as the characters they play such injustice. jared leto for example is the gay companion and loyal warrior to alexander- why when he would make a much better villain?? and colin farrell as a king? he lacks the presence and the stature and looks fucking ridiculous and unconvincing in his tacky wig and costumes. angelina is perfect as lara croft but there is only one pouty smoky expression she ever has and unfortunately she played out more like a jealous lover than a possessive mother to alexander. plus that terrible russian prostitute accent- god, it will be torturous to watch her with her french accent in a mighty heart.
and i cannot forgive the music that anticipates for the audience what is going to happen in the next 10 seconds. like victory music playing before the battle is over. ugh. horrendous movie. i rank it as low as the island.
