'Objects In Space'
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 eternal Sunshine a whole lot. And Trainspotting. And Kill Bill.
Haven't seen Magnolia or Thin Red Line or Marie Antoinette.
Have no string feelings one way or the other about Lost in Translation or the Goonies (I don't think I've seen Goonies all the way through).
I enjoyed: Eternal Sunshine, Lost in Translation, American Beauty, The English Patient and Happy Feet. (Yes, it was a mess, felt rather long for its length and the ending was... problematic; but it had penguins, and Steve Irwin voicing an elephant seal.)
That is pretty much how I feel about Happy Feet, bt. I am pretty sure I could edit it down into something I liked a lot. If I had editing skills.
The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo is on Netflix Watch Instantly. I haven't watched it yet, but I was surprised that it showed up so quickly.
I just watched Quarantine, which is essentially a shot-for-shot, beat-for-beat remake of [REC]. I didn't think it was bad, and it had some good ideas of its own, but the original is better, as expected.

It's on DVD and the Girl Who Played With Fire is already in a local theatre.
You know as all-time gorgeous film couples go, I think I've been undervaluing Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale in The Leopard.
And Hornet's Nest comes out in the fall.
Alain Delon = Yum. Or, rather, miam.
all three movies have already been released in Europe.
