Warning: It was a lot funnier before Dubya got re-elected. These days...nsm. I'd rent it and fast-forward through everything that's not a song.

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.

AND decided to add romance to his movies, which spoiled the fun.
Wait. That animal crackers scene in Armageddon was supposed to be ROMANTIC?!?

Well, that or an attempt to turn the entire audience into The Who's Tommy.
I do know it turned me into a cringing mess.
I saw "Dot the i" tonight, with Gael Garcia Bernal, in his first English-speaking role. Very good. I liked it a lot. Though my friend who was with me didn't like it too much, and was irritated with it, until the ending, which she enjoyed. It was a nice blend of genres in my opinion, and was interesting, and different.
Nicole DeHuff, an actress who played Teri Polo's sister in Meet the Parents, has died of causes related to pneumonia. She was 30.
The actress died Feb. 16 in Hollywood, four days after she reportedly checked into a Los Angeles hospital, was misdiagnosed and sent home with orders to take Tylenol.
She didn't feel better a couple of days later, she went to the ER, they gave her antibiotics for bronchitis, sent her home. She finally called paramedics but it was too late.
There's a fun interview with Colm Meaney here. He's promoting his new movie:
Ireland's latest offering, "The Boys & Girl From County Clare," opens today... Meaney and Bernard Hill play fiddler brothers who haven't spoken in 20 years. They bring their ceili bands to a music contest in a small Irish town in the early '70s to settle a grudge match.
Hill's top fiddler (Andrea Corr) falls for one of Meaney's musicians. The love story unfolds amid Irish music, dancing, drinking and one-liners.
Sounds like a definite movie to see for St. Patrick's Day! BTW, Andrea Corr played the oldest daughter in The Commitments.
That's incredibly sad, and scary, Connie.
I love that guy! Wasn't he Jimmy's da in the Committments (Which marries a few of my passions...urban strife and soul.)
That's incredibly sad, and scary, Connie.
Particularly since she actively tried to do something about it. Damn.
