'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
It's some sci-fi-y thing where time is currency or some shit, but I'm not sure I care.
Seriously? They were in a meeting, some guy said "Can we hurry this up people, time is money", and they decided to make a movie on that? What'll be next, do you think?
You had me at Bomer. Timberlake is gravy. Mixed feelings about Cillian. Slightly more unpleasant mixed feelings about Kartheiser.
And bon, you know I threw Murphy in there for you, because he's just creepy.
Yummers!
But seriously, this is one short-ass cast.
But the screen is so big!
sadly, billytea, that's probably *exactly* how it happened.
I really wish I were recording Dylan's commentary track for Nightmare Before Christmas - we're on the train and he's watching it on my iPad and he has questions or comments on just about everything that's happening.
Why is Jack Skellington sad? Oh look a flying dog! Where is the dog going? Oh, now Jack Skellington is mad. Hey that Sally is just like the one on your shirt! Why does that man's head turn around?
Nightmare is now officially Dylan's favorite movie, which would make me extremely proud except he says that about every movIe he's ever seen, so. Still, he didn't ask me to turn it off when the Oogie Boogie bits started - I was a little worried those scenes would be too scary.
The woman who made the original version of The Killing has apparently made a dark and intense movie about vaulting.
So Beau and I saw Ides of March.
It is official: Beau hates Ryan Gosling. He believe the man cannot act at all. Beau also did not like Evan Rachel Wood. He dug Hoffman, Clooney, Giamatti, but didn't really like anyone else.
I am not sure what I was expecting with IOM, but I guess I was expecting a political thriller and that's not the movie I got. It reminds me a bit about my expectations of the virus movie and what I experienced seeing it.
IOM feels smaller in scope than what I expected and I didn't buy some of the character's reactions. For example, if you are experienced in national campaigns, you would be a bit savvy about various dynamics. You certainly would be a lot more savvy than a certain character in this movie. The naïvete burned.
One thing that really pissed me off was Evan Rachel Wood's character. For the love of Athena, can we please not have abortion punishment any more? Please? Pretty please? I was counting down how long before the character would "suffer the consequences" and of course I was not disappointed.
My recommendation is, this is not a must-see movie (at least not in theaters). Wait for the rental, or when it comes to tv. I'm glad we got out of the house, but I kinda wished we had gone to see Rocky Horror instead.
OK, nothing's on TV tonight and I left Transformers: Rise of the Fallen on in the background, and way back when I thought from people complaining about the racist robots that it might be a case of stereotypical accents or something, but DEAR LORD are Michael Bay and the writers members of the KKK?
