Plot

The film introduces seventeen-year-old Megan (Lyonne), a high school senior who loves cheerleading and is going steady with football player boyfriend Jared. She does not enjoy kissing her boyfriend, and prefers looking at her fellow cheerleaders. Her family and friends suspect that Megan is a lesbian, and with the help of ex-gay Mike (RuPaul), surprise her with an intervention. Following this confrontation, Megan is sent to True Directions, a "reparative therapy" camp which uses a five-step program (similar to Alcoholics Anonymous' Twelve-step program) to attempt to convert its campers to heterosexuality.

At True Directions, Megan meets the founder, Mary Brown (Moriarty), Mary's son Rock and the group of young people trying to "cure" themselves of their homosexuality. At the prompting of Mary and the other campers, Megan agrees that she is a lesbian. This fact, at odds with her religious upbringing, distresses her and she puts every effort into becoming straight. Early on in her stay at True Directions, Megan discovers two of the boys, Dolph and Clayton, making out. She panics and screams, leading to their discovery by Mike. Dolph is made to leave and Clayton is punished by being forced into isolation.

The True Directions program involves the campers admitting their homosexuality, rediscovering their gender identity by performing stereotypically gender-associated tasks, finding the root of their homosexuality, demystifying the opposite sex and simulating heterosexual sex. Over the course of the program, Megan becomes friends with another girl at the camp, college student Graham (DuVall). Two of Mary's former students encourage the group to rebel against her. The ex-ex-gays Larry and Lloyd take the campers to a local gay bar where Graham and Megan's relationship develops into a romance. When Mary discovers the outing, she makes them all picket Larry and Lloyd's house, carrying placards and shouting homophobic abuse.

Megan and Graham sneak away one night to have sex. When Mary finds out, Megan, now at ease with her sexual identity, is unrepentant. She is made to leave True Directions and goes to stay with Larry and Lloyd. Graham, afraid to defy her father, remains at the camp. Megan and Dolph, who is also living with Larry and Lloyd, plan to win back Graham and Clayton. They go to the True Directions graduation ceremony where Megan performs a cheer for Graham and tells her that she loves her. They drive off with Dolph and Clayton. The final scene of the film shows Megan's parents (Stole and Cort) attending a PFLAG meeting to come to terms with their daughter's homosexuality.

Brag#3 : Penelope



Penelope, a movie my 0.5 (bff @ Aida) mentioned to me about a movie starring Christina Ricci, Catherine O'Harra, James McAvoy & Reese Witherspoon.
What caught our eye was the combination of CR + RW in one movie, we're both big fans of these actress, they do real good.

The movie is oh-so cutely romantically funny in its own fairytale-like of style has simply won over my heart. It's like a children story for everybody, even adults would be able to relate to it. It's THAT good!

Well since I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton, but this movie is as good as TimB's ingenious creativity. The director of this movie is by Mark Palansky & produced by Reese Witherspoon herself [that's hawt].


Plot

Generations ago, a witch placed a curse on the Wilhern family that would result in the next girl being born into the clan having the face of a pig. For generations, only sons were born into the family, until approximately twenty-five years ago, when Penelope (Christina Ricci) was born, stricken with the curse. It is said that the curse can only be lifted if one of her own learns to love her, which is interpreted by her parents to mean a blueblood. When a tabloid reporter named Lemon (Peter Dinklage) begins stalking the family to get a photograph of the infant Penelope, her parents, Jessica (Catherine O'Hara) and Franklin (Richard E. Grant), cloister their daughter away in their mansion, where Penelope spends her life immersing herself in intellectual pursuits such as literature, horticulture and music. Now an adult, Penelope's parents attempt to introduce her to possible rich suitors, hoping that one of them will fall in love with her and break the curse. Unfortunately, every man who lays eyes on the girl takes flight at first sight, never to return, including Edward Humphrey Vanderman III, a spoiled, cruel-hearted snob who finds her repulsive.

Vanderman teams up with Lemon and the team goes out to find someone who can get into the house for a picture. They mistakenly take Johnny (James McAvoy), an unrepentant gambler with a heavy heart, for Max (Nick Frost), who agrees to help Lemon and Vanderman snatch a photograph of her for money. When "Max" meets Penelope, however, he is unexpectedly caught off guard by her disarming charm, and decides to renege on his agreement with Lemon and Vanderman, realizing that their attempt to exploit Penelope is repugnant, but Penelope interprets "Max's" ambivalence to mean that he too finds her monstrous. She decides to flee the protection of her parents' home, and journeys out into the city, naive and ignorant of the world from which she has been sequestered her entire life. Having no money, and seeing that Lemon and Vanderman are publicly offering a reward to anyone who can produce a photograph of her, she decides to collect on the reward by producing a photo of herself, essentially coming out of hiding to the public.

Vanderman's father, seeing the public's fondness for Penelope and embarrassed by his son's vocal cruelty toward her, coerces Edward into proposing to her. Penelope nearly marries him, but backs out of the wedding at the last minute. When her mother urges her to marry him, lest she be forced spend the rest of her life with her current appearance, Penelope exasperatedly tells her mother that she likes herself the way she is. At that moment, she is enveloped by magical energy, and when it dissipates, her pig snout and ears are gone.

Penelope moves on with her life, becoming a horticulturist and teacher, the spectacle of her former appearance forgotten by the public. At a costume party at which she wears a porcine mask, she meets Max, who, unaware of her transformation, apologizes for not being able to break her curse, although it is obvious he is still in love with her. Removing her mask, she reciprocates his feelings, and the two begin a romance.

The film ends with Johnny pushing Penelope on a swing after teaching a horticulturial class. Lemon, the reporter is about to take a picture on a nearby paddle boat and decides to call it even for once.

Brag#2 : Sem4Resulto

ok yawnzorz

I guess my start off with a new blog is gonna suck a lil because my sister is keeping my mac
away from me so she could monitor my internet usage.

My result didn't turn out so good but i didn't flunk this time, just not good enough - just enough for a pass thus my sister got upset and betch at me for it.

So i hadn't have enough time to do for illustration and i jsut gave on that subject, plus i hate it. i don't FEEL it anymore... its a total betch.
And oh! they keep failing me for moral studies - like whathell?! i didn't flunk for fucks sakes!?

I've ditched Vox even though its actually a really nice blog service but due to idiotic friends I've decided to ignore that piece of shet and try out blogspot which seem to have many people has been using ...
I also use to blog a lot in vampirefreaks back in the days ... then things (personal issues) just got me real tangled and i felt like blogging is only causing more problems rather then realizing stress and etc

So for split screen I'll be editing a video which has me and a fan/online friend miming to MyBoo by Usher+AliciaKeys. I'm gonna tell more details on this until the next post along with its video =p
So right now I'm trying my luck on Timbaland's The Way I Are. Same case, I aint TELLIN'! Bahahahaha
