I know, it's a cool movie. I really like Scarlett Johannsen, too. My (ex-ish)boyfriend can't stand her, she's the kind of girl that gets under his skin (he hates Gwyneth Paltrow too, go figure) but I like Scarlett. Anduril have you seen that movie w/ her and John Travolta, "Love song for Bobby Long"? I reccomend it, especially if you liked "Lost In Translation", they seem to be similar types of films - unassumingly arty, slightly darkish humour, thought-provocative.

Oh! and Scarlett's also fantastic in "Girl with a Pearl Earring" - check it out!

I like her. I like the "cute" girls, but very rarely the "hot" ones. There's just something about her in this film......She reminds me of someone I used to dream about.

This is the first film I've seen her in.

Haven't seen either, as implied above. Will make an effort to check them out.

Boys don't cry.
Again.

Lotesse · 08-08-2005, 05:13 PM

Nerdanel, who's in Boys Don't Cry, because I'm getting ready to ride my bike to the video store right now and want to rent something besides MORE Alias episodes

...

Andúril · 08-08-2005, 05:31 PM

Hilary Swank and Chloë Sevigny. This is another raved-above film that I still need to see.

Andúril · 08-09-2005, 02:50 PM

Unleashed.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Mercutio · 08-11-2005, 03:05 PM

oh, sorry that it took me so long to reply!>.< Hilary Swank played very, very well.

Lotesse · 08-11-2005, 05:19 PM

Oh, yeah! Now I remember - I have seen that movie, and it is very, very good! an excellent film and a brilliant job by Hilary Swank.

Lotesse · 08-11-2005, 05:25 PM

I just watched Alexander, the new eponymously named film brought to us by Oliver Stone. Mr. Stone, I'm afraid, is finally getting too old - that is to say, his films are starting to show a lack of intelligent originality. That actor who played Alexander is so amazingly, astoundingly bad, and wears such a distractingly awful wig to boot - This is a god-awful film, I am sorry to have to say. It's nice to see Angelina Jolie (when is it NOT nice to see her?!), and Anthony Hopkins is good to see as well, but this movie is utterly the pits, aside from those two. Bah. Long gone are the days of Apocalypse Now, or even Natural Born Killers - good old Oliver Stone appears to have lost that genius touch. Oh, well...

The problem with movie directors these days is that they take the biggest news actors, and TRY, and TRY to make them work in their films.
Steven Spielberg...why is my respect for him waning? Because he chooses tha biggie names these days. Remember when no-one knew Roy Scheider? Harrison Ford?!
Spielberg now uses lame-ohs, Farrel, DiCaprio (best of the bunch) and Cruise. Fine with me, but for some reason Spielberg pretends these are his "Mature" years. It reminds me of Richard Strauss's early sucesses, everything up to "Rosenkavalier", though he has some great works after that year(1911), you can tell its more formulae.

I just saw March of the Penguins!!!! I looove penguins! They are my all time favorite animal, and this movie felt like it was made for me! Hehe! It was really interesting and even funny at times.

Lotesse · 08-12-2005, 04:47 PM

oh god I cannot WAIT to see March of the Penguins; can'twaitcan'twait...

When I said I was pleasantly surprised, that's because I had I expected mindless rubbish. It was a snap decision to see that fiIm, as I stood there at the ticket counter.

So I was surprised that it wasn't rubbish. It wasn't great or special though. There are plausability and continuation issues that pulled me out of the last minutes of the film.

Acting was okay. Story was okay. Fight scenes were quite well done--since Jet Li was involved.

I just felt like at times, my intelligence was being insulted.

"Irreversible" was a crazy movie; so, so intense and definitely not for the faint of heart. I just love Vincent Cassel, and Monica Bellucci - she's the bomb, too, love her. But it's not a film to watch with grandma or the kids, if you know what I mean.

katya · 08-13-2005, 01:53 AM

The Godfather: Marvelous! And so much like the book, too! Everything was exactly how I pictured it. Exactly. And if it wasn't, there was a new image that I thought fit the book better than my own anyway. Excellent movie. Excellent book. Yeah.

Life of Brian: Pretty funny. Maybe not Holy Grail funny, but that might've been my mood or because of a previous overdose of Monty Python. I loved the People's Front of Judea. Too funny. Reminded me of women I know who want to fight for the choice to play football, though they don't want to play themselves.
