I love Silver Streak! Of course, not more than The Lady Vanishes or The Palm Beach Story. I remember being disappointed by Twentieth Century.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Lady Eve isn't really a train movie, but does have one key (and brutally hilarious) scene on a train.

I saw Black Swan the other day and I really liked it. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about it. Polter-Cow, I agree with basically everything you said about it a bunch of posts ago. I thought it was very well put together, and there always a chance that I'm just slow, but it kept me guessing the whole time. Not 100% believable, of course, but that never really bothers me in a movie anyway.
I desperately want to see True Grit, The King's Speech, and Rabbit Hole - I don't think the last one is out everywhere yet. If it is anything like the play it is based on it will be amazing.

It's the same writer adapting his own work - my understanding is that they're very similar except that the movie opens up the setting a bit (as most theatre-to-film adaptations do).
The writer is actually a friend of a friend, so I'm hoping I can talk myself into watching it now that the pregnancy hormones are mostly out of my system. (The subject matter was keeping me away - I just didn't think I could handle it.)

You astound me, btw. I cannot believe you post, seemingly take a 5 hour break from this forum, have a baby, and you are back to posting again.
You must come from strong stock.

Yeah, I definitely can't see it. I probably wouldn't have wanted to even pre-baby, but the fact that John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig!) directed it got my attention.

Tell me about it!! I knew of the playwright, as we had done a production of Wonder of the World at my university and read Fuddy Meers in my contemporary playwrights class, and those are both definitely comedies. Really insane comedies. So my entire theater department was at a huge theater conference in Kansas a few years back and someone was doing a production of Rabbit Hole, and all we knew was that it was by David Lindsay-Abaire so we assumed it would be a fun time. Yeah... not so much. Fantastic play, but... we were not prepared for the subject matter.
