Thanks for all the ideas. It sounds like this is just "creepy thing of unknown orgin"

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I really really liked Julie and Julia. I had read mixed reviews of the "Julie" parts, but can't really analyze that, due to being pretty much Julie Powell myself. (Better job, no husband. I figure it evens out....) But the "Julia" parts were delightful! I heart Stanley Tucci, not to mention Meryl.
And then I was also pleased to see a preview with her in a love triangle with Alex Baldwin and Steve Martin. Go age appropriate partners!

I saw CGI Joe today, and was surprised to discover that it was actually an entertaining popcorn flick. I went for the falling Eiffel Tower and Channing Tatum's pecs, but may go again for the thrill ride. Really the only things I didn't like were some unconvincing SFX in the final battle and Marlon Wayans.

My Mom saw Julie and Julia today - thought it was great, much better than she expected from the reviews. Also some of things she had heard against it were plain out wrong. They definitely dealt with Julia having been in the OSS and her husband being a victim of the McCarthy era. Not a lot of screen time, cause not the main story they were telling but mentioned. And she thought every actor and actress did great jobs, but also that the writing was first rate too. It is definitely on my list to see.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Has anyone heard the DVD commentary for Lars and the Real Girl? We just watched it on cable tonight and I think I might need to get the DVD. It's the kind of movie one should own, I think.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Speaking of Clive Owen, the official trailer for his new flick can be seen at this [link] It's directed by Scott Hicks and filmed in his--and my--home state of South Australia. Looks great.
Re Dark City; the Directors Cut dvd makes for a much more satisfying movie--though I did like the original cut anyway.

Oooh. I have this, but haven't seen it yet - must rectify that. I loved the original cut as is.

Ann, that's a ferret.
We took our niece to see G-Force over the weekend. Fun little film. The idea of guinea pigs as law enforcement agents works better than you'd expect it to on paper -- well enough that there might be another movie or two in the idea.
