Re. "The Crucible" : Arthur Miller is the bomb, especially considering the fact that not only did he write classics, but he married Marilyn Monroe once (how cool is THAT ) plus he lived a really long life. He just passed away a few months ago, r.i.p.
I'm tryna remember if I saw the movie - the one with Winona Ryder, right?

Yeah, that's right. That last courtroom scene was amazing...you could feel the agonizing tension Proctor felt.

Transporter 2
Brilliant film. Well, not really. It was crap. Completely over the top, is one way I might describe it. Absurd, is another. Also, implausable, exaggerated and unrealistic. Plus rediculous. You'll have a hard time suspending disbelief on this one folks. That said, pure escapism. Fight scenes and action sequences had a polished feel. This is a movie for the guys, and you'll need popcorn. Amazingly, there is a roughly minute-long sequence a little after halfway that I would refer to as the funniest fight scene I have ever seen in the history of my life. I have never laughed so hard in a cinema. Beats The Rundown's jungle scene anyday. Got home and washed it all off with some Lost in Translation, so I slept soundly.

Last movie I saw was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was...brilliant.

Which fight scene was that? The fight scenes were OK, but the whole "scrape the bomb off with a flip" was stupid stupid stupid... But I like the actor, so I'd see Transporter 3 on thru 18 (In sequil 18 he has a custom scooter he uses to trafic cooperate employees who are often late and in fear of loosing their job....oh the suspense!)

last fil I saw, was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think it almost ranked with SW Ep III, which is the best film I've seen this year. best film I have seen for a long time. Depp is awesome.

Just watched 'A Matter of Life and Death', which I haven't seen in a long time. It's even better than I remembered. I love this film - it's so unusual and original (and even romantic)!

8 Mile - again. It's one of the DVDs I own that I watch every once in a while to fit a mood. I love, love, love watching Eminem, just watching him & hearing him. Love that chick Brittany Murphy, too, for some reason; she's one of the actresses I always enjoy watching, who doesn't irritate me.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is an excellent Eastwood flick, to be sure!!
I rented this Tony Richardson 1968 movie "The Charge of the Light Brigade." Loved it. Has anyone else seen "Layer Cake?" Watched it last week, loved it.

Red Eye.
Boring, and the comic relief was innapropriate. Also, teenage girls are F&%KI#@ annoying. |
