Yeah, Junebug is definitely worth. The Wallace and Gromit movie is so definitely not (I know I seem to be in the minority but I found it extremely disappointing).

I saw Junebug. I thought it was a great character piece, but the overall film didn't go anywhere. It was deffinitely worth watching though even if just for Amy Adams who was amazing.

I liked 'Junebug'. But like xhb said it goes nowhere. I really liked Amy Adams' character but despised the actor who plays her husband. I don't know what it is about him but I can't stand his acting...

Watching 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World' last night made me wish I had more slapstick comedies in my DVD library.

Tonight I'm watching 'Some Like it Hot'. It's such a good film.
Has anyone else noticed Marilyn Monroe's dress during her 'I Want to Be Loved By You' number? Uh, it's practically see through. The lighting guy looked like he had special instruction to hit her with a spotlight in a certain way so as not to give it all away. It's deliberate if you watch it. And what's also deliberate is the placing of the sequins on her dress. They look like nipples. No lie.

Orry Kelly, one of my favosite designers! If I am not mistaken, he was nominated, if not a winner, of an Academy Award. That monkey fur number she wears in her first scene with the steam engine, priceless!

Of course, Jack Lemmon is priceless in this film. I can never look at maracas and not think of "him"

Ooh! Next up from Netflix will be The Bad Sleep Well, been years since I've seen it!

Gemini Cricket 08-29-2006 06:06 PM

I have 'Match Point' and 'All Quiet on the Western Front' coming from Netflix. :)

I don't think I've ever seen 'The Bad Sleep Well'. I'll have to look it up.

All Quiet with Lew Ayres? A great film. I enjoyed Match Point, but liked Crimes & Misdemenors better

Yes, that's the one.
C&M is one of my all time favorite Woody Allen films.
