'War Stories'
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.
OK, I'm just a big Soderbergh fangirl, but I really liked Ocean's Twelve.
I liked it too. Although that might be because of how much other reviewers and friends talked it down. I thought it was going to be horrific, but instead it was just a few hours of eye candy (but it was a little too long, and the look alike thing was incredibly stupid.)
Also, (and this is going to sound mean) did anyone else think that Julia Roberts looked absolutely horrible? It was almost distracting.
I think she literally didn't have any makeup on. I was staring, trying to figure out what it was, and that was all I could come up with.
In addition to that, she looked WAY thinner and more angular than she usually does to me.
Ah, but Beej, cutie Davies was nice eyecandy, and Nigel Bennett's LaCroix (and voice!) was all the evil Forever Knight needed.

Yeah, but she already looked terrible in O11.
I never thought she was all that, but especially not lately. I saw Mona Lisa Smile a few weeks back, and when Domenic West picked JR over Maggie Gyllenhall I was like "So, she does make fantasy." Once I got over her having her bony mitts on one of my Celebrity Boyfriends, that is.(He really needs to call me. His persona could only break my heart, but the fall would be fun.)

She really did. She seemed even more bony and, well, she seems to be getting uglier.
I saw Midnight Cowboy last night. I'm still mulling it over in my mind, but man, it made me really want to take a shower.

Or force Dustin Hoffman to take one.

True that. Nigel is the bestest eeeevil. His voice does me in. And that gleeful sneer! (I like Janette's character as well. World weary, sex-ay, and sewn into those dresses. Tee.)
I listened to a commentary with Nigel on his own but had to turn it off half-way through. Love the voice, but it wasn't saying anything!
As I get closer to the end of the second season, I'm liking the whole package more and more...despite all the plots being virtually the same.
And, it's not that I'm against smoochiness in general. It's just that I like my vamps with souls and either snark or smolder. Davies just comes off a little too "Banana Splits" with the grinning.
Still...for all my feigned disdain, I'm lovin' it.
