It's one of the most sheerly gorgeous films I've seen, due in large part to the location

Good Lord, P-C, out of that list I've only seen The Talented Mr. Ripley. I feel like such a slacker.

You should see the movies I thought were good! They're good!

Dear lord you watched Open Water? The whole thing?

Thanks for posting that SurveyFail link. I might have sought out that book had I not read that. I think I may have tried to fill the survey out at some point but given up when too many of the answers didn't apply to me.

Is there character death in Tangled? Please feel free to whitefont the reply.

My dad has been on this kick of buying animated movies, and he recently got Tangled and said he's going to loan it to me. (I currently have Megamind thieved from him because it's made of awesome.)

Man, I want to see XM:FC again. Not enough to see it in theatres, but I'd love to get my hands on the Blu ray right now.

I loved Tangled. Much more charming than I expected.

Thanks for the link, sumi!

What the hell have I seen Jason Flemyng in? He looks & sounds damn familiar.

I note in passing that Riptide is a stupid name for a guy who does tornadoes.
