Bad Behavior

Book Favorite

"Bad Behavior is largely about sex, but it’s not cheesy or cheap. In this book of short stories, Gaitskill writes about women in the sex industry, people in power play relationships, S&M, and the general psychology of people who engage in so-called “bad behaviors” in a way that’s honest, sometimes brutal, and always beautiful. (For example, the darkly erotic film Secretary was adapted from a story in the book.) I first read this book around the time that I started Slutever, my blog about sexuality that still exists today, and it gave me confidence that writing about sex was a legitimate pursuit, and could be seen as intelligent, meaningful, and maybe even poetic."

Playing the regular family man once again, Rogen's comic credentials are well known at this point but his shtick is as funny as ever, with Byrne proving to be an excellent foil.

Quite gory
Good locations
Just when you thought it was safe to get the night tube!
A very good British horror. A late night journey on the Underground goes from bad to worse for one commuter as they are chased through the tunnels in a fight for survival.

Waterhouse's performance struggles to convey simple behaviour convincingly - such as thinking about stuff or caring what happens. Amirpour is a talented director with a wonderful eye but her style lacks substance

Javier Bardem makes an awesome villian
Cinematography
An epic classic
Everything about this film is top quality, the cast, story, score, cinematography and dialogue. Javier Bardem is immense as the icy cool killer hired to retrieve the money stolen from a drug deal gone bad. Sure to be a cult classic!

This novel was a minimally amusing romp through the middle ages with a relic dealer and involves the Shroud of Turin. It wasn't bad, nor was it good, it was just in the middle. I was glad to mark this book off of my 'to-read' list, even though it was disappointing.

Nice!
This movie turned out to be an excellent watch! Good acting, good cinematography and effects. The story played out very well and keeps you interested the whole time. Some parts were a little predictable but not too bad. If you enjoy demonic possession movies, you'll enjoy this one. Definitely worth a watch!
