Julia Roberts pretty much guarantees I will avoid anything.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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.

Weirdly, she and Hector Elizondo were pretty much the only redeeming features of Valentine's Day.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Used to be fan(except PW...I hate that one.) but the new trailer for Eat, Pray, Love, is the most obnoxious thing, ever.

I also loved Down With Love, which was just sheer ridiculousness but so much fun.
I had issues with Down with Love. I don't think it quite worked for me, and the third act was, well, ridiculous.
The third act was TOTES (are we still saying that? no one forwards me memos) ridiculous, but I think I could have dealt with it more easily if only someone other than RZ had been the lead. Feh.
That said, Ewan more than makes up for her, despite not whipping out his junk. (Does he even DO that anymore in movies? What was the last one in which he got full-frontally naked? Young Adam?)
Also, I *really* liked David Hyde Pierce in it. Especially when he goes all beatnik.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was the last one in which he got full-frontally naked?
He is kissing boys, though. He continues to fight the machine. He should do both.

java says it best. Actually, that's how I feel about any movie with Julia Roberts in it. Also, any movie with Meg Ryan except Code of Honor? and Restoration.

Our wings are not tired.
Oooh, I just thought of an entire series that I hate from a filmmaker I love:
all of the "Ocean's 11" remakes.

Because books.
I've never even seen the original Ocean's Eleven. And the remake is one of my favorite movies ever.
