'Safe'
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.
Why did no one warn me that this movie was so, so awful?
I distinctly remember saying at the time that anyone who doesn't like bad movies should pay matinee price and leave as soon as the film changes from black & white to color. MST3K fans, however, were best served by watching the whole thing in an audience that wouldn't mind their snarky comments.
Just came back from seeing "Finding Neverland". That's the most I cried in the theater since "Return of the King". Some of it felt awfully manipulative, but I bawled anyway. The young actor who played Peter (one of the boys of Kate Winslet's character, not the Peter in the play) was just extraordinary. He matched Johnny Depp every step of the way, and he couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 when they filmed this.
This is the first time I've noticed this, but Johnny Depp has obscenely long lashes.
Vonnie, the new People has an article about Depp, and it mentions that Depp was so impressed with the kid that now the kid is playing Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
This reminds me, I've been thinking of spending the next lazy rainy weekend watching a Van Helsing and Underworld double feature. I think they would go well together.
I did like Underworld for some reason.
Calli! Underworld and Van Helsing are my current fave double header. Cheesy fun!
My previous fave double feature was El Mariachi and Desperado. But they both come on the same disk, so no creativity points earned there.
me too, Anne. that could be because Kate Beckinsale's accent wasn't irritating. since, ya know, it was her real one.

You hit the nail on the head.
I really enjoyed Underworld.
I so want to see Finding Neverland. Is it out everywhere now? Or still just in "select cities".
(Because if the latter -- probably not in DeKalb yet.)
