I want to go see The Other Boleyn Girl, because I'm a big fan of Natalie Portman...

The last movie I saw was The Bucket List, and I thought that was a charming little movie. Not the greatest, but not bad.

I stopped going to movies when they added sound.

The last movies I saw were...
"Meet The Spartans" (Lame, but had a few giggle moments.).
"Enchanted" ( AMAZING! ), and
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (AMAZING).

 

[Spellbound]

Nowhere [1997] (weird)
Strange Days [1995] (really cool)
Smiley Face [2007] (high-larious)
Lions For Lambs [2007] (dull)
In the Land of Women [2007] (ok)
Things We Lost In the Fire [2007] (pretty good)

Just got back from seeing "Starting Out in the Evening" www.startingoutfilm.com


Basically because I'm a huge fan of Lauren Ambrose ('Clair Fisher' in 'Six Feet Under')

Definitely worth seeing.... I'd say more, but I don't want to give too much away....

I can't think of another film I'd rather see this weekend.

I refuse to watch that or "Batman Begins" because of Christian Bale. He pulled the look off but as soon as he spoke I was ready to chop off his feet. He ruined Batman movies for me. He should be replaced.

I recently saw The Orphanage and I completely recommend it.

If you like scary movies go see this one. It's not the typical big-man-with an-axe-chasing-teenagers movie but a very dark movie that keeps you in suspense through the whole 2 hours.

So...


GO

SEE

IT.


And tell me what you thought of it.

Ooo ! I've been wanting to see that one. It's directed by the guy who directed 'Pan's Labyrinth', isn't it ?

Sadly, it's only playing at a small art house theater here in town. Crappy screen...

Ahh well, I'll wait for the DVD.

 

[innocentbychoice]

Yeah, it's directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

Don't miss it on DVD then, I guess it's not the same but better than not seeing it at all .

I saw it. I was actually a little disapointed in the story. I found it to be too predicable. I guess it is ok as a children's story but not necessarily recommended for adults that don't feel the need for the story teller to tell us every last deal.

 

[innocentbychoice]

What?? Really??? I didn't see it that way at all.

I didn't feel it was predictable and it's certainly not a children's story.

And there's no storyteller...

Are you sure you're talking about the same movie? I think you're confused.



That's The Orphanage.

 

[Spellbound]

Yeah, it's directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

Don't miss it on DVD then, I guess it's not the same but better than not seeing it at all .

It was directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. Del Toro only produced it.
It was still an excellent movie.

yep...it's the same movie. By storyteller, I mean the writer. I probably would not have been so hard on the film, but I have been to so many excellent films recently where they were the writing, acting, scenes, etc. were top notch. Please don't find what I say offensive....I generally have odd movie tastes when compared to main stream America.

In the regular movie theaters, I really enjoyed Juno and Atonement.
