Saw Closer this weekend.
Still not sure about it except Clive Owen is kinda vulgar and Jude is just hawt hawt hawt who can't keep it in his pants and wow how art imitates life.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I saw Sky High today and liked it more than I expected to...then I snuck into the end of Must Love Dogs. Considering that DL and JC are two of my all time faves and, well, dogs are HUGE in my life, I was hopeful. Yet, something gave me a bad feeling...a bad feeling that turned out to be right.
If the last 5 or 6 minutes were anything like the rest of the movie (see the above comment about a tacked on ending), the movie at large is sort of dreadful, and wicked cliched. Diane looked really tired and John mugged in ways that looked painful to him. I left grateful I hadn't spent the 7 bones.

Your tag here.
Have you seen BB before, askye? If not, you're in for a treat. (Well, technically it's still a treat if you've already seen it, I suppose...)
Also? I'm so jealous of your IMAX-having.

This will be my third time!!! This time I'm seeing it with Mom. It just opened at the Imax on Friday.
I realised that even though we've had the IMAX for several years I've never seen a movie there. ---it's mostly documentaries they show, and I'm not sure why I haven't gone to the IMAX. I'm going to change that and start going regularly.

Batman Begins experienced via IMAX kicks ASS!!! It was fantastic, I loved watching it for the third time.
Also, my new glasses made a huge difference, since everything wasn't hazy and marred.
Mom LOVED it and was thrilled to hear there are sequels. And she wants to see more movies with Christian Bale and to know why she hasn't heard of him before.

Rent her the trifecta of American Psycho, Velvet Goldmine, and Mary, Mother of Jesus if you want to see her head explode.

And then add EMPIRE OF THE SUN as a chaser.

Oh god, I can just see Mom freaking me out by liking Velvet Goldmine.
At one point after Empire of the Sun came out on video she went to rent it because it was recommended by a friend and ended up renting The Last Emporer by mistake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine once recommended Au revoir les enfants to her conservative parents - they rented La cage aux folles by mistake....
