I just got "Knowing" yesterday.  I haven't been to a real theater in ages...the last thing I saw in one was "Wild Hogs".

"Knowing" was okay, I guess....it just didn't go in the direction I thought it would from the movie trailers.  I'll watch it again, I'm sure......I do like Nicolas Cage.......I also have "Next", which was good, but again, the ending just left you there.

I'm not a huge HP fan....I have yet to read any of the books *gasp*, and I've seen bits and pieces of the movies, just not sure which ones they were.  But I've never been a huge fan of movies developed from popular books....they tend to get ruined by whomever it is that makes them.  Sometimes, poetic license sucks!


"Knowing" was one of the biggest pieces of shit that I've ever wasted money on

The VO actors, however, did BRILLIANT;Y considering Neil "phoned it in".

We saw Ice Age 3 last weekend. I was nervous because it was rated PG but i was assured by friends there was nothing that would upset the kiddo. They were right...it was adorable.


Like me, right?

in other news...

I rewatched 81/2 weeks yesterday, and I have to say, it STILL really holds up, but to be fair, unless you actually get into the process of shooting film, it might not hold your interest.

Oddly though, these days, with the world so weird now?

it's less surrealist than I remember it being.

Seeing just a little of Hayden Panettiere's delicious little body doesn't hurt, either.

8 1/2 or 9 1/2 weeks or some mess of both? I like Fellini better...cos I are a snob that way.

Status: offline 		recently,

Funnyman, a '94 "horror" film which was kinda what happens when you give a Brit some budget for drugs and tell him to do a Brit version of Charles Band/Tromaville.

meaning it was rather funny, har har!

Layer Cake, which was far more entertaining than I expected and was also often funny and for the most part, charming, and I'm not a big fan of the "Guy Ritchie" subgenre so very happily surprised...

Big Fish...  for me, I think it really helped that Burton did not get to write this, and thus it was better than half of his films, truly sweet.


But the good run had to end, in bloody train wreck fashion, with Angels and Demons...

Oh, the suckage, the suckage...  a bleeding anal wart of a film.  The left out nearly a third of the stuff that made the book fun.  It should be used in a filmschool class called "How NOT to make an Adaption of a Novel".

I feel like Ron Howard snuck into my garden and took a shit on my peonies.

I saw Couples Retreat on Saturday, it was decent, had some laughs. Was going to see I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell yesterday, but ended up at a casino in Louisiana instead

Yep. We saw it the day it came out and laughed throughout. I thought "Woody Harrelson AND zombies! How can we go wrong?!" It was cool and that evil clown was genuinely scary (the only part that really was) as it was mostly just a laugh riot. "Double Tap!!!!"

Status: offline 		I saw Paranormal Activity this weekend. For a movie that cost a whopping eleven grand to make, it was pretty good. Without giving anything away, even though I enjoyed the ending, one of the alternate ones would have worked better, ie, been creepier.

Bonus film tidbit: In the movie Say Anything, director Cameron Crowe almost used Billy Idol's "To Be A Lover", instead of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes", for the boom box scene.
