Mrs. Henderson Presents is simply lovely.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We went a little nuts today and saw three movies (paid for one, snuck into two others, because we're evil that way). Herewith my report:
Invincible--I'm a sucker for sports movies, so I liked it. Bits are awfully obvious and Disnet-ish, but the performances are terrific and there are a lot of lovely little moments.
SOaP--Liked it okay, but was mostly underwhelmed. Samuel Jackson rules and there was some fun tongue in cheek stuff going on, but it didn't grab me--I was expecting to enjoy it the way I did, say, Tremors, and that didn't happen. I did like that Julianna Margulies looks her actual age--AND looks gorgeous.
Crank--completely farfetched, looks like a long music video, the camera work is hyper and the film steals from Pulp Fiction all the time, but I still dug it. Jason Statham is always a pleasure to watch and the movie knows exactly what it's about--supplying thrills and chills and never taking itself too seriously. A fun little popcorn flick.

How was Dwight Yokam in Crank? I've read good reviews for him in it.

Sweeet. May have to pop in and see that one. And not just for Jason Statham's ass, I swear!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Mrs. Henderson Presents is simply lovely.
Yes, yes it is. And I want every one of her outfits, dammit. GORgeous fabrics and silhouettes and cut and draping. Costume porn.

Oh good. Not just me, then.
Wonderful movie, too. You think it's just candy floss and soft porn, and then, wow, there's a real there there.

move out and draw fire
Wait, the new Wicker Man involves the world being run by women? I mean, Nic Cage in a bear suit was going to be bad enough.

We saw Volver and Nacho Libre yesterday. Volver was fab, if a little long, Nacho Libre tried hard, but didn't hit any of the marks it was aiming for, it felt like. And that's coming from a huge Jack Black/ Napoleon Dynamite fan, so I can imagine how it must be for people not enamoured of either of those.
