Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Alex]

I reviewed it here. It's not great but it isn't terrible. It just is at the low end of the spectrum compared to the recent glut of fantasy adaptations.

I do not reccomend that film to men. Just say'in.

However, I found that Kitty Pride was actually where I recognized her from. Who knows why.


Finished 3:10 to Yuma...
I didnt have a single issue understading them.
GC, maybe your tv needs to learn not to mumble.

I know why.

All week long I've been trying to make time to go watch the leftover noms I've yet to see. I've been kind of wrapped up in a combination of work and re-hauling our living room for the new furniture and impending party. For instance, this morning, I got up super early to do more cleaning/organization. And in the process, chose to watch... No Reservations on pay-per-view. I'm a doof. I kind of enjoyed it.

Understandable, and guest appreciated, why you're having trouble with that.



So ... in your honor, I saw Persepolis today!

I enjoyed it. My seven year old, who has read all the books, enjoyed it and tells me that much of the shtick in the movie is not in the books. My nearly five year old punted mid-film, albeit at an unexpected place.

Mr. Alex's review is wrong in that the movie does the entire five book series, not just the first book. There is, of course, a second series. I agree about the accents. I thought Freddie Highmore's first lines were decidedly English. Then mom was American. Then Freddie was American. Okay, we're in America. But it was fun.

Sorry, the press materials said it just did the first book. Not the first time they'd be wrong though.

The aunt who'd lived in the house all her life also had a reasonably strong accent as well.
