Most recently: Walk the Line. Pretty good! I'm not one much for singer-bios (they all go the same way; something happens to one of their siblings when they are younger, they get started in music and, like clockwork, get addicted to drugs, finally overcome their addiction after hurting just about everyone they love, and live--or, more often than naught, die--happily ever after). But this one was a little brighter than most, and the music was very nicely handled. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Pheonix did a great job.

Just saw X-2 again; good movie, and we made snide comments, like, '1 in 10 people is a mutant.' 'That's a grossly exagerated figure!'
At the point when Storm says to Nightcrawler, I have faith in you: 'When they released this movie, church attendance dropped 50%.' When Mystique says to Wolverine 'What do you really want?' and shifts into Striker: 'Pervert!'

Donnie Darko is very good. Makes you think. Too bad it doesn't really make much sense when you do :P Skip the director's cut - there are a few added inconsequential scenes, and some added annoying text.
Watch the original theatrical cut.

I was looking it up on Yahoo.. seems a mite full of, shall we say, 'unsavory' language?
Just seen: Ben-Hur--the reeeaaallly old 1925 silent version. It was uproarous, actually, because we all sat there and made up our own captions for the silent dialogue. It was very entertaining, I'll give it that. lol.

Just saw Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's; I recommend both. The former is a fun movie with a good ending, and the latter is just a good movie.

Just saw "Tristan and Isolde". Enjoyable, as long as you don't expect any kind of historical plausibility, which is fair enough because most versions of the story have none at all. Playing around with the settings and plots of medieval romance is a time-honoured tradition, after all. I don't personally understand why someone making a film would choose a very specific timeframe and then deliberately introduce laughable anachronisms (Isolde reads John Donne! Did they just think we wouldn't notice it's over 1000 years out of place, or wouldn't care, or what???) but that's probably why I'm not a successful filmmaker.
Also, Tristan with his floppy hair and ropey accent is no match for King Marke, whom Isolde was insane not to have preferred  The best thing about the film, IMO, was its presentation of Marke as a sympathetic character, which makes the whole story more tragic and less black-and-white. |

I watched It's a Wonderful Life last week for the very first time. I really enjoyed it.

WL is a classic, especially in December. We own our own copy 'cause it is so well done. Nice to see new generations enjoying it.

Just watched 'The Producers with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder again with some friends. It's still an awesome movie.

I saw The Sixth Sense recently, it's probably the best movie I've ever seen
It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, but a few of the scenes had the " " Factor |

I just saw Jane Eyre. We're (Merry and I) doing a study guide on the book, so we decided to rent the movie. It's good, but a little confusing at times.

Wow! I can't remember the first time I saw it. It's a lovely movie. Like Spock, we have our own copy and watch it every December. I always get weepy/smiley at the end. Another movie I watch every year is Miracle on 34th Street, the old one with Natalie Wood. I try to watch it on Thanksgiving Day right after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is over. |

Roman Holiday is one of my favourite romantic comedies. *sleepy Audrey voice:* "Pajamas!" It's one of the only movies I really like Gregory Peck in, too.
