Just finished up 'Runaway Jury'. I liked it. Lots of twists.

I was debating wether or not to see Snakes on a Plane. I heard it was good fun with snakes that look fake. Ok, I can deal with that, and I can deal with the whole *any time there isn't a snake in view one will startle me* thing. But I just got off the phone with Erica and she told me that

Spoiler:

. That, I cannot deal with. Give me

Capote so impressed me, I actually bought the DVD. Am currently listening to In Cold Blood on CD right now, it's so very lyrical, I'm quite amazed (never read it before, so I am going to have to get the book too)

Just watched Chocolat, which was a nice piece of fluff and was a fun fairy tale kind of film. The theme is chocolate, why wouldn't I like it? I'd rate the film yummy.

I was thinking about 'Chocolat' last night after watching 'Babette's Feast'. It seems to me that that film and 'Like Water for Chocolate' got some influence from 'Babette'. Just a theory I have. I love all three films, btw.

Me too, love all three! I need to revisit Babette's Feast, it's been a while since I've watched it. Note to self, add to Netflix Queue.

Saw Dirty Dancing at a party. It's been a long time....and I still love it. I still think Swayze is hot in it, still love the music, still love the corny plot completely lacking in subtlety. The other girls disagreed - oh well.

There is another Truman Capote movie surrounding the events of In Cold Blood coming out this fall. I have to take people's word for it that Hoffman was Capote since I don't really know a thing about the man other than what was in the movie. But I do know that Hoffman wasn't Hoffman so that is good enough for me.

Watched the Japanese bloodfest Battle Royale the other night after years of people telling me I had to watch it. I was just "eh" on it but I understand why it had cult status in certain circles.

Bill and I just went an saw Little Miss Sunshine. Absolutely f-ing hysterical!

Is anyone, besides me, looking forward to Hollywoodland? It's got a good cast and loooks to be very noirish, which is always appealing to me.

I don't know enough about the mystery surrounding the death/suicide of George Reeves to know how accurate it may be, but with Bob Hoskins in it, I am compelled to see it. Diane Lane looks like she will be turning in a good performance as well. Then there is Adrien Brody...

Ummmmmm......Adrien Brody. But, only if he is playing an intellectual. I don't like him as a palooka.
