    An epic, epic movie. I own it. I'll watch it tomorrow, probably. One of the most well-written, well-acted movies I've ever seen. Ellen Burstyn is absolutely phenomenal, and I cry in many of the scenes she's in because she reminds me so much of my mother.

    Douchebag Jared Leto — that's my name for him, sorry if it offends — is awesome, and Marlon Wayans — MARLON WAYANS?> WTF? — is truly awesome.

    For a college essay about geography, I somehow pulled off a 93 percent by comparing the key elements to the Requiem t oa geographical lesson.

    The last major scene — with each of the four actors, including the gorgeous Jennifer Connely — curled up and holding themselves is one of the great scenes in movie history.

    Please, please go see it.

    That being said, Leaving Las Vegas is indeed a great movie.

    "I don't know man, I think I'm gonna chill here and watch Leaving Las Vegas tonight."

    Fun for the whole family.

    Nic Cage took us to a world none of us WANT to be in.

    But some of us have been there, almost to a T.

    There, with a plastic bottle of vodka stuffed under the driver's seat to sip on during a long road trip somewhere when the game is tonight, the bottle is close, it's between your legs almost, and feels like a security blanket. The seal isn't broken, but you can't wait to bust it as soon as you've filed.

    The Smirnoff/Gilbys is sipable during the seemingly shorter road trip back, and always good for a few extra minutes of 'quality time' before visiting ex-girlfriend.

    And then you pray for at last one last sip before the blurred trek back home at 6am where a glass bottle of cheap whisky awaits. Before a long nap.

    And the shakes.
