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.

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
me too, Anne. that could be because Kate Beckinsale's accent wasn't irritating. since, ya know, it was her real one.

Art Crawl!!!
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.)

Tonight is a preview of Finding Neverland here. I think it opens here next week.
I thought Closer was opening this weekend, and I was all excited to go to a Friday matinee, since I was off. But it wasn't here.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Depp was so impressed with the kid that now the kid is playing Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Yeah, I remember reading this somewhere. There was this almost spooky center of emotional gravitas in the kid--or the character--it was rather unsettling. There is this scene in which Peter destroys the props for his play after his mother fell sick during the performance, and there's such anguish and anger in his little frame, it quite stopped my breath. It's a fantastic performance, and you see that this kid is an *actor*, not just a kid playing at acting, the moment you hear him utter his first line.
Hmm. I googled his name (Freddie Highmore) and it appears NY Times has done a a brief piece on him.

Who's hotter? Charlotte Rampling or Bo Derek?
Pfft. Charlotte Rampling, duh.
