Willow ,'Storyteller'
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.
Keanu was nobody's idea of John Constantine, but if you just watch the movie as its own entity, it works very well as a supernatural action flick. The effects are great, the story is interesting, the acting is good. There are some really strong, iconic visuals.

As long as you keep telling yourself it has nothing to do with the comic, it's a fun movie. Plus, Tilda Swinton! Being menacing and bad-ass!
Or maybe Brad Pitt looks like him.
They share a certain wolfish stance and stare.

Saw Ratatouille, and Pixar could easily have gone lighter with the versimilitude, because I did find myself shuddering at the rat idea, and even at times where I think I was supposed to be buying the anthropomorphism instead.
Even with that, though, I have to rank it as an incredibly charming movie. Which makes two charming movies in two weeks (Waitress being last week's movie), and I need to see shit blow up next weekend.
I hope that doesn't mean Transformers. Or Die Hard IV.
Drew Goddard is writing a movie for Bad Robot (well, already written), to be produced by Abram and somebody else from Lost's production staff. Apparently teaser trailers go out with Transformers, even thought they haven't named it or got into production yet.

When it was just Remy I didn't mind so much but once the whole colony entered the kitchen I found myself getting a tad squeamish, too. All in all, though, very charming and adorable film. I think, like Cars, this one will grow on me the more I watch it.
DH opted not to see it in theatres because he thinks he'll be watching it a thousand times once it's on DVD. Which is probably true.
I am Cashmere in here squemishness and apparently DH is her DH in options and predictions.
But to prove we are not complete one - note the wide age difference in our children and the fact that I saw the movie without either of mine.
Yahoo has a trailer for Eastern Promises the new movie from David Cronenberg that stars Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts.
I liked Die Hard 4. It had lots of really great explosions. And I liked the actor who played McClane's over-his-head sidekick guy a lot.
Justin Long.

I so wanted him to be the TDS interview instead of Bruce Willis, so they could do a bit with him and John Hodgman.
