Judi Dench is a witch
I went and saw Notes from a Scandal today. I am pleasantly surprised by how good Dame Judi Dench was at playing a friggin' psycho. I would even go so far to say her character freaked me out. I love the fact that this character is very different from the usual characters we see Dench play. I thought Cate Blanchett did a great job as well, but the movie belongs to Dench. I also noticed how perfect the music was in creating an eerie mood throughout. I recommend this film, but only to those that like creepy storylines. In case you don't know, this film is about Dench finding out about Blanchett's affair with one of her 15 year old students and how Dench uses this secret to manipulate Blanchett into being her friend. Like I said, it's not your average happy-go-lucky story but well worth seeing.

go see Little Children.
I saw that one already. Are you recommending it because it's disturbing too? I went into Little Children knowing nothing about the child molester story and was freaked out by that guy. What are the Oscars saying by nominating some of these psycho characters? I wonder what actors thinks when they get nominated for playing a psycho. Wow, I made the audience really believe I was that evil person. Good job.
