Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
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 liked Addicted to Love as well, because I thought the movie made it fairly clear how creepily messed-up they both were. I expect they'd have done each other in within a year of getting together.
I actually went to see Playing God in theater, at the height of my X-Files obsession. Honest-to-God, it's probably the worst movie I actually paid money to see in a theater. Well, maybe second worst, after Bodyguard.
I've seen about 2/3 of them, but can't defend most of them. Addicted to Love was not aspirational, though--I agree with you on that (it's IN THE TITLE).
Huh, I did not know there was another Romeo and Juliet remake in the works: [link]
I only know Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit but she left such a fantastic impression, I'm looking forward to seeing how she'd tackle this role. I do wish the boy who plays Romeo wasn't such a pouty male model type though.
Damien Lewis as Lord Capulet!
Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl is in that!

Before I even clicked through, I hoped it was Pip from the recent Great Expectations (because no one is poutier), and it was!
Romeo and Juliet just isn't that high on my list of Shakespeare plays I'd like to see performed or filmed. I'm clearly in the minority however.
Well, I agree with you Burrell.
I think that's because the last act is more stupidity than tragedy.
Has there been a big-screen As You Like It in, like, ever?
Huh. IMDB says yes, and only 7 years ago, but I swear I had never, ever heard a whisper of it. Possibly I was too busy lying flat and trying not to bust up my placenta or something to keep up with In Theaters Now. But, still, I can't believe I didn't even know it existed.
Impact Theater did As You Like It in the spring. It was fun!
Do any filmed R&J's make them look properly stupid?
