Sweeney Todd.
I liked it quite a lot; especially the way it ended, and how nothing was romanticized. Good stuff.

I have it on DVD, but could you perhaps tell me if it's watchable for someone who doesn't like blood and brainless slaughter and couldn't finish watching I am legend?

Well.. There's quite a lot of blood and murder after murder, so I'm not sure.. It is a pretty bloody film. X)
I've heard that it also depends on wether you watch the American or the original version: they've chosen some "alternative angles" in the American version to be able to give it an R-rating.

Oh, perhaps I'd better leave it alone then. Too bad, I would've liked watching a musical with Johnny Depp... >_<

It's really good, though.. Maybe you can just close your eyes? You'll notice when he starts.

Well, at one time my sister would have told me when I can open my eyes again, but she refuses to do so now. My mum says I'm being a wuss... Family
![]() But perhaps I'll try watching it sometime when it's not near bed time and when I have access to... well when the circumstances are right ![]() Just saw: if I had know I was a Genius. It was a ... weird film. Definitely not a must see, but okay to watch if you have nothing better to do.

Just finished watching Penelope with Christina Ricci. I loved it! Very touching story. I would have liked to hear Max play a little bit more piano though, because it sounded very good.

On Sunday I watched The Rock with Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris. The acting was superb but the plot was sub-par. But hey, Michael Bay directed it and as long as there are gratuitous explosions, he's going to be happy.
I enjoyed The Rock but I wouldn't say it was a good movie. (And Mari, it is way too violent for you to enjoy anyway.) At one point,
Still, it's a fun action movie. There are better, but I'm not demanding two-and-a-half hours of my life back either. It did rate "Fresh" (62%) at Rottentomatoes.com but these are the same people that gave one of my favourite movies, Nomad (The Warrior) a pathetic 7%, so take that for what it's worth. Even though it's like a meta-analysis of reviews instead of looking at only one movie reviewer, you're still not always going to agree with the ratings.

Amen! Other than that, I thought it was a nice undemanding action movie. Connery's role nearly seemed written for him.

Fool's Gold~ Laugh out loud funny. If you're in the mood for a really good laugh, it's a must see.
The Last Samurai~ It's been a while since I'd seen it. Mari, I know how much you love everything Japanese, but it's pretty violent so I really don't know if you'll want to see it. IMO, it's a really deep movie. I loved now that I understood it better than I did when I saw it the first time. First Knight~ Like King Arthur, puts a bit of a twist on the Camalot legend.

Actually, I saw the Last Samurai. I had a friend who was so kind as to tell me when not to watch. She had allready seen it, so she could tell me in advance. By the way, I can handle violence to some extent, as long as it isn't scary at the same time.

Sweeney Todd- great, great, great. music and blood, great combo!
Across the Universe- It seemed to me just a bunch of beatle songs thrown into a movie, but they did a great job of recreating them, it's very enjoyable.
