Anya ,'Get It Done'
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 finally saw Step Up 2: The Streets. LOVED IT. Adam Sevani needs to be my best friend. Also, I need more Missy Eliot in my life. And the Jabbawockeez coninue to rule.
I also saw Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning. LOVED IT TOO. Now to see the original.
We watched Easy A two nights ago and I declare it adorable.
Red Letter Media, the guy behind the eviscerating video takedowns of the Star Wars prequels has posted the 3rd one. It is in 3 parts and is about 90 minutes I think.
It is funny in parts, but overall, he sounds broken hearted:
Cashmere, I watched Easy A last weekend and loved it too. It was hilarious.
I just discovered that Netflix has The Apple on insta-watch. I'm not sure I needed to know that.
I just got back from seeing The King's Speech.
OMG so good. It's just a good, cozy movie with brilliant performances and set design you can wallow in.
Firth and Rush are fabulous and play off each other beautifully, which is no surprise, but I actually liked HBC as Elizabeth, which was a surprise.
I liked Black Swan. It seemed to be a pretty straightforward character-fights-with-her-dark-side movie, but it was done well. I really loved the scene at the end where Nina grew her wings with every twirl. And then her shadows had wings. It was lovely while still being creepy. I don't understand how no one fucking noticed the bloody wound in her chest for most of the show, though.
I also really dug the subtle visual effects, like when Nina peeks into her mom's room and the eyes on one of paintings moves or when Lily's tattoo starts to move and grow during the dreamsex. And I was also very impressed with the switches between Lily and Dark Nina. Sometimes when they switched back, I wasn't sure for a second who I was seeing because they made them look so similar, even though Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman don't look anything alike!
I also saw Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning. LOVED IT TOO. Now to see the original.
I love them all!
Are there more than two?!?!?
I actually have the original here, and I'm going to watch it today.
