I like Happy Feet. The plot is a gigantic mess, the message is thoroughly disturbing, but I will forgive all that for penguins. And the Crocodile Hunter as a gigantic elephant seal.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If you like penguins, see Surf's Up.
I didn't enjoy English Patient and I'm a huge fan of Ralph Fiennes.
I did like The Accidental Tourist. My dad is the same way about phones.

I liked it when I saw it...not sure I would now.(My tastes have changed lots.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Surf's Up is awesome! Plus, they get a little dig in at Happy Feet. Plus, GREEN DAY on the soundtrack.

It's an awesome sendup of surf movies, too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh, I definitely have a hate on for "English Patient." It took me about 3 tries to get through the movie in the first place. The director telegraphed every single event in the movie. I knew from the opening shot that Scott Thomas' character was dead or nearly so.

Because books.
The DH took Ben to Happy Feet and came back baffled and irritated. I never saw it after that.
I've yet to see The English Patient, and The Accidental Tourist was so long ago, I barely remember it. I did like the book, though.

I kind of liked English Patient, much to my great surprise.
Didn't love it, just liked it. Sort of.

I loved the book and liked the film. I loved Juliette Binoche's acting, but didn't love some of the changes made from book to film. Not enough Kip.

I liked the book much more than the movie. The book was more about how the injured patient affected everyone around him, while the movie was too much about the title character.
