I saw Enchanted on Friday.
It was silly and uh, predictable.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I saw Beowulf on Friday. Can anyone tell me why I found it so disappointing? Cause I seriously can't figure it out.
Naked virtual Angelina Jolie didn't do it for you?

Ann, that's a ferret.
For bleak? I'm in the middle of Between Two Worlds.
It's WWII. Diverse group of people braving the war to sail from England to America. On the way to the boat, their car is hit by a bomb. So they end up on a boat to heaven and/or hell. But don't know they're dead.
And they're joined by a couple who committed suicide. Who at least know they're dead.
The passengers are to be examined by The Examiner. Played by Sydney Greenstreet.
The comic relief, if you want to call it that, comes in the form of cynical wisecracks from John Garfield, who plays a cynical reporter.
So far, it's very absorbing. In that way melodrama-with-a-message can be when the message should be delivered a little more subtlely than it is.

Naked virtual Angelina Jolie didn't do it for you?
Unsurprisingly, no. Surprisingly, naked virtual not!Ray Winstone didn't do it for me either.
I just can't understand why I'm so unhappy with something with Neil Gaiman's name on it.

No country for old men:
Sue, yep. I get your reaction to the film. It was my understanding thatTommy Lee Jones' character wasn't so much despondent over all the deaths. TLJ's character seemed to predict the killers actions up to a point, but lost faith when he forgot to check for the money in the heating grate when Brolin's character died. So I think he just realized that he didn't have the head for this anymore. Maybe that's true. All the killing was amazing, but watching "Criminal Minds" each week I'm used to it!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

There wasn't really any character to identify with, or care about?
I was impressed by how well the 3-D worked, but there were too many shots that seemed to have no other purpose than to play with 3-D. "Oh, look! More branches! In 3-D!!!"
The only character I liked much was Wiglaf, played by Brendan Gleeson, the guy who played Mad-Eye Moody.

Anyone see Enchanted and want to give an assessment on how it would play with the 4 year old set? It is mostly about the romance?

The Ralph Fiennes role in In Bruges seems like a Clive Owen role to me.
I watched Enchanted and there did seem to be small children v. involved with the plot. (While the adults were laughing.) I mean, it's not just a romance there is also a evil Stepmother trying to get rid of the main character ). I think if your 4 year old is into Princesses she might like the movie. (The aforementioned evil stepmother also changes into a dragon a couple of times.)
