Jilli, I saw it for the first time a few months ago, and I felt the same way.
I realized that I really *hadn't* seen it since the first time, so while I knew the broad outline of the story, I had forgotten a lot of the details. When the hot-wire-in-the-dish scene happened, I jumped back and shrieked.
Oh, that cicada-ey sound the creature makes when changing and its screams when burning are the most horrifying sound effects I've ever heard in a movie.
I've got to agree. Man, the sound design for that film was just amazing.
Speaking of movies I haven't watched since I was a pre-teen, there is a part of me that wants to rewatch
Poltergeist.
Then I remember the not sleeping for three days after I saw it, and I think maybe this is not such a clever plan.
Katherine Heigl is not ethnic. She's okay, but she's no Stephanie Plum.
Yeah, surely they could have found somebody that embodies the feister terrieresque qualities of Stephanie Plum better.
Meanwhile, a friend just sent me this link to a trailer for
Mei Mei
a film adaptation of the Chinese version of Cinderella.
I just watched
13 Going on 30.
Could Jennifer Garner BE any more adorable?
I haven't seen 13 Going on 30, but from the movie poster, it's obvious that Jennifer Garner has adopted a Praying Mantis style Kung Fu for the film, as opposed to the generic kickboxing she used in Alias. How many people does she kill in the movie?
I think that's my favorite Jennifer Garner role. Even more than the good seasons of Alias - though I liked the show I never quite believed she was really such a badass.
I've never seen Jesse Eisenberg in anything. Is that a bad thing? I'm thinking
Zombieland
is supposed to be worth watching.
(I say this because his face on all those
Social Network
posters looks so damned familiar, but his CV means nothing to me)
Ooh. And it's on Netflix Instant Watch. Brill.
