Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
He mentions Dear Frankie (in ita's article)! That's next on my Netflix list - it looks fantastic.
A friend once put on Dear Frankie for me, saying, "Oh, you'll love this, it's a total feel-good movie, it's just your thing!"
Yeah, I loved it, but a feel-good movie? I sobbed.
I sort of bookend it with The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea.
One of my favorite titles ever
I sort of bookend it with The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea.I haven't seen Dear Frankie but reading about it made me think of Sailor. That's a screwy movie. Run, Kris Kristofferson, RUN!
Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz is to star in the film adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones. The Oscar-winning actress will play the mother of a 14-year-old girl who is raped and murdered in the movie, which is to be made by Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson.
From Yahoo news.
Huh. From what I remember of the book, I don't know if Rachel Weisz is a good fit or not, but I like her, so this sounds promising.
Rachel won me over to her side with her brilliance in The Constant Gardener making me like a character I hadn't in a book I did.
I am terribly curious about PJ's future projects, especially the less fantastic (I can see how he could be terribly wrong for this). I just hated this book.
Rachel is skipping the next Mummy installment. It will be weird to see someone else play Evie.
They're going to recast? Not write the character out?
Maria Bello is taking over the role. Weird, huh?
Yes indeedy.
I loved the first Mummy and thought The Mummy Returns was good escapist fun, if not up to the level of the first movie.
