Saw another slice of American History movie yesterday, Fair Game, about the Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame scandal of the Bush years/Iraq War. Great performances by Sean Penn as Wilson and Naomi Watts as Plame. The DVD commentary was particularly surreal, by Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame.


Over the weekend, I watched another movie about a bit of lesser American History, Cinema Verite, an HBO movie about the ground-breaking, first "reality" show, PBS series of the early 70's, "An American Family." Really interesting time capsule stuff.

The Lion King? In 3D?
Beauty and the Beast? In 3D?

I don't have or plan to have 3D at home anytime soon but I'm still curious about how well this is going to work out.

Just saw The Wildest Dream, amazing photography. Inconclusive on whether or not Mallory did make the summit. Indications are he and Irvine were on the way back down. Also had some amazing vintage footage and not enough Alan Rickman on the soundtrack (FYI for Pru).

I just finished watching this movie and came straight here :blush:

I agree with all of your sentiments NA but the ending confused me a little. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

We just saw Thor this afternoon. *sigh* Chris Hemsworth *sigh*.

For the life of me, I can't remember much about the plot. Something was distracting me. I'm just going to have to watch it again... (and again, and again....)

Bridesmaids was enjoyable if you're willing to sit through gross out comedy (I am) and the comedy of personal embarrassment (harder for me).

I saw it today as well. Being somewhat less distracted, I also don't remember much about the plot, largely because there was not much of one.

Overall I had the feeling that much like the comic itself, Thor is the lesser child in the Marvel movie franchise.

I saw Thor tonight as well. It kept my attention (all of it, not just the scenes I was drooling over). It also made me realize, despite my love for all things Stargate, the new BSG, Sanctuary and other SciFi, computers and technonogy how much of a geek I am not.

Things I wish had actually happened:
Jodorowsky's DUNE!

At least we get a "what might have been" documentary out of it.

Check out the video clip. That would have been the strangest shoot in film history. Ah, I could listen to Alexandro talk his enticing brand of crazy all day long.
