A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I can only get the appeal of Alien vs Predator in a theoretical way, if I think of it as an update of the old Godzilla vs Mothra genre. But when I think about the probably execution, CGI on top of CGI, I think "eh."
It looks fun enough, with the fighting and the blowing shit up. I wouldn't pay to see it, but it might be enjoyable one of these days.
Also, they should remake Godzilla vs. Mothra, and Mothra should be played by Halle Berry.

And Godzilla should be played by Mecha-Streisand.
I miss Kevin Peter Hall.
Alien vs Predator looks like good juicy fun.
Apparently the director of Sky Captain is tipped to take over directing duties on Princess of Mars, after Robert Rodriguez was forced(?) out.

Silly Polter-cow. Everybody knows Mothra = Robert Smith.
A funny review of The Day After Tomorrow
The characters in the movie would have to be massively deepened to be called shallow. The major conflict is that of the Quaid character, who has missed much of his son's upbringing owing to his penchant for jumping crevasses on remote ice shelves. His wife's anger at this I rate at 137 MilliPeeves, where one Peeve equals the feeling you get then the coffee shop runs out of your favourite creamer, and you have to use your second favourite. This is understated acting.
Somebody's being mean to my secret boyfriend, Robert Rodriquez? Let me attem! ej, where did you see that reference?
This is sometimes a bad thing, as it means I was unable to take a pass on The Phantom.
Yes. If only the script had been as magnificent as the costumes and sets.
I liked De-lovely. The theater was basically full of me, gay men, and silver-haired couples. But I do agree that the framing device wasn't always successful. But the "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" number killed me. I'm such a sucker for scenes like that, where people from someone's past come back, young and beautiful and healthy, to greet them.
I also got sniffly when Ashley Judd's character died, and I was sitting there refusing to cry, and then they started playing "Every Time We Say Goodbye", which just wan't fair. *sniffle*
Er...
Naturally stunning actress Halle Berry has slammed women who undergo cosmetic surgery and finds the whole process "terrifying". The Oscar-winner made the comments as she joined her Catwoman co-star Sharon Stone at a press conference at London's Dorchester yesterday, ahead of the film's British premiere. Berry says, "We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth. I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that. I see women in their thirties pulling this up and tucking that back. It's like a slippery slope -once you pull one thing one way and then you think, 'Oh God, I've got to do the other side.' There is this plastic, copycat look evolving and that's frightening to me. It's really insane and I feel sad that's what society is doing to women." Stone, who has recently denied she had plastic surgery after reports suggested she had gone under the knife, adds, "You have to do what makes you feel good."
