I really liked Sunshine Cleaning.
It didn't seem to me that much of what happened had anything to do with what they deserved. Life happens, as does death, and it's good to have people around to help you through both.
I saw 9 yesterday. There were parts of it that were ok, but frankly I could not get over the whole premise. To know that the world is going to hell, and then to create things that will have to live in that hell while you yourself are gone and don't, I find that unbelievably vain, selfish and cruel.
I saw a commercial for Disney's rerelease of Toy Story 1 and 2, only this time they're in 3D. They're only going to be in theaters for two weeks, starting October 2, and tickets are being sold for the doublefeature.
I think I remember a werewolf comedy where the goth girl was the responsible one. Though the doofus younger brother saved the day in the end.
Also, can we
please
never ever have another movie where the quirky girl who dresses in black and doesn't wear (much) makeup suddenly gets a makeover and dresses all conventionally and then gets the guy?
Well, in "Drive Me Crazy" they did the same plot with a rebellious dude...but he looked better before the makeover too.
Also, no more shopping montages, no matter what music they're set to.
Grease
and
Grease 2
sort of were oppo-trope. I mean, the goody-two-shoes kid had to don black leather to get the girl/guy and win.

And that's how it should be.
OK, maybe not
all
the time, but....
erika, what if it's "Hallelujah"?
It would be cool to do a make-over sequence that didn't put people into vanilla (from a Hollywood standpoint), but made them more themselves, if that makes sense.
