Hmm. Indeed.

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.

So I just watched Point Break ! What the hell, all this time I thought it was sort of a cheesy so-bad-it's-good movie, but...it was actually pretty good! And Patrick Swayze was great!

I was just talking about that movie tonight. I didn't know if the person was talking about Point Blank or Point Break and then I said it didn't matter because they were both awesome.

I had low expectations because I was expecting The Fast and the Furious with surfing, but it was much better. Although I did like The Fast and the Furious.

I've actually seen it all at this point. Well, the major ones: Point Break, Near Dark, Strange Days, and The Hurt Locker. I have not seen K-19: The Widowmaker.
Now that I look at what I've seen of hers, I see she's got a Danny Boyle genre-hopping thing going on. And she's good at them all.

What did you think of Strange Days?

Honestly, I saw it a long time ago and don't really remember. I'm pretty sure I liked it, but I also think it wasn't what I was expecting. I may have had mixed feelings.
Okay, I moved it to the top of my Netflix queue; I've been wanting to rewatch it anyway. Looks like I gave it four stars back in the day.

Wow, I thought there would be more discussion about Inception in here.
i've seen Inception three times in the theatre now. could probably go again and not feel too guilty for it.
I've seen it twice, am just back from the second viewing, and am all jacked up about it. I think it's a brilliant tale about loss, love, forgiveness and finding a way home within yourself. It's a roller-coaster, but the heart within the story is sooo breathtaking and tragic.
It's clearly not for everyone. A friend went with me, and 10 minutes in, leaned over and asked if it was this violent the rest of the movie. I told her honestly that I didn't think of it as violent. It's all just flash and metaphor around the true story of Dom finding his way back from a dark place with the help of his friends. I haven't loved a movie this much since sex lies and videotape. OMG I can't wait to see it a third time. I might even go search for a copy of a shooting script so I can read the dialogue.
