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.
I really appreciated Mary Elizabeth Winstead's work as Ramona
I very much did. Because it took me a while to realise that Ramona hadn't actually been written very interestingly, and I was just working off of Winstead's expressions. She gives good gaze.
I, on the other hand, did look at my watch. Especially when I was wondering when he was going to break up with Knives. I couldn't believe that lasted that long, and really sunk all hope of me caring about Scott.
I wrote a piece on Nicolas Roeg for HiLo.
I just watched Fast and Furious. Man, Michelle Rodriguez just can't catch a break, huh? It's a wonder she survived the first movie.
In between the parts where it was boring, the movie was indeed fast and furious.

Nice. Very nice.
I plan on watching The Last Unicorn at lunch. That is all.
"Oh, it's so nice to have someone to play with again!"
Just watched The Losers and I really, really wanted to love it, but I ended up being somewhat disappointed. I loved, loved, loved most of the losers (Pooch, Cougar, Jensen and Clay). Loved Aisha, but I absolutely hated the main villain. He was just too over the top and one dimensional, which I'm sure works well in the graphic novel, but it just didn't work for me in the movie.
I also saw Scott Pilgrim on Friday and loved it!
I just saw Eat Pray Love, or, as I call it Ouch My Diamond Shoes Are Too Tight In Many Charming Locales.
Feh.
Rayne, I agree with you on the villain in The Losers. I may have been biased by the io9 review before I saw it, but he didn't work for me.
I just saw Eat Pray Love
Why?
I liked the book(although I did not find the Meaning of Life in it, shock!), but it seemed awfully...internal to be a film. Lots of thinking, worrying, and meditating. I still can't believe they did that. And all the tie-in articles are missing the point...it's not that Indian food is some magic-carpet ride(although I really do like it)...It's about eating *mindfully*, not just either shoving it in or shunning things that are *bad* in some study this week. In theory, you could do that with a pb&j.
