That trailer looks great. I'm even more excited now!

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.

So, I saw "Sliding Doors" for the first time since it was originally shown, and I don't think the movie is as bad as I thought I remembered it to be. It isn't a great work, but I was still very much interested and Tripplehorn makes a wild "villain."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I haven't seen that in years. I'm going to dig it out and rewatch it. Just what a Saturday night take-out, on an evening when you're not feeling 100%, needs as a cheering-up movie.

Not being a serious, hard core kaiju fan, I don't know if this is the first, but last night I saw something remarkable: A Japanese monster movie that was about 9/11, and not Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And being a Gamera movie, it's right up Jess' alley.

I saw Julie & Julia today. It was pretty good. Not something I'd go back to every weekend it's in the theaters, but worth a matinee. My friend and I left the theater hungry for really good food, and we ended up at a Durham restaurant called Revolution. Durhamistas—their food is delicious!

Saw Star Trek at the dollar movie. Very pretty, very silly in places, and the main saving grace was Leonard Nimoy. I love watching that man playing the older Spock, all wise and "I'm over 150 years old, I can be visibly amused and delighted if I want to be."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh, definitely. No matter my problems with the plot and Kirk's characterization, seeing Leonard Nimoy as Spock again was well worth the price of admission.

His delight at seeing Scotty was wonderful, and it was all in the eyes and that very faint smile. "I have been and always will be your friend" made me misty-eyed, as did the "Space, the final frontier" at the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm worried that the theme song might be the worst thing about Quantum of Solace, and worried that it's not.
