Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Damn. That explains nothing. There was...and then the....and IT DIDNT MAKE ANY SENSE.
I think I've guessed the big twist, as some reviews have mentioned FIGHT CLUB , so, yeah, it probably doesn't add up.
Then again, it's Euro-horror. Captain Logic slipped on a banana peel on the gang plank and went into the water without ever getting on board.
I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Lords of Dogtown last night.
I'm with Jess on the Smiths. Great Fun and the leads are ssizzling, charming and funny--a perfect mix for a popcorn film like this.
Lords of Dogtown was really good. It got the look (and more importantly the feel) of that era exactly right. There were a few clunky moments, but the young leads give great performances all around. If you haven't seen the documentary this is based on, or even if you have, this is worth a watch.
Hmmm, how about a double of The Full Monty and Calendar Girls - people from Northern England stripping to raise money (that is if I have the second movie right.)
Yeah, Sumi, good one. It's very cute...Mom and I liked it very much.
One of our guys worked on Mr & Mrs Smith and I need to know if it was on the main fight scene, because that was nice and kravvy.
I laughed a lot -- I've never found Brad Pitt this hysterical. Jolie bugs me a little, not least of all because she's just way too thin for the picture her role demands in my head.
But it was fun, and so cheerily violent. Adam Brody -- well, maybe he can play Seth Cohen all his life. I mean, if people will pay him, what's the problem?
My impressions of Mr and Mrs Smith?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- so pretty and so tall!
Also, many things go boom . .. and really just because a movie is PG-13 doesn't mean that you should bring your child to it. I'm thinking that the movie would have been better if it had been an R because conceptually it's not a kid/family film and with an R they could balance the violence with more sex, you know?
And, what ita said about Adam Brody. (Loved that he was wearing a Fight Club t-shirt while being held hostage. )
The shirt did have me cracking up, Sumi.
Hey -- does anyone have the exact "she's like Batman with computers" quote? Was that it?
That's what I heard, ita. And I, too, cracked up at the shirt.
I pretty much agree with everyone else's assessment. It's fun and funny and things blow up. Good time.
Don't forget the pretty pretty people.
Oh, who played Atlanta (I thought I'd pegged the actor, but have now forgotten -- Angela Bassett maybe?) and who played the therapist? For that I was sure it was William Fichtner.
But neither role is credited in IMDB, unless I'm missing something.
