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.

Per EH1814's suggestion, I watched 'Babette's Feast' last night. Loved it. Wonderful film. The film was totally inspired. A perfect film. Beautiful.

I also recommend 'My Family and Other Animals'. It's fun filled fluff.

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

I tend to get my "Jury" movies mixed up. Is this the one with John Cusack? If so I really enjoyed it. Such a great cast, and they really did keeping you guessing. It was something I just watched one day when it came on HBO, and liked it way more than I was expecting. I do have a bit of a thing for Cusack though, so I figured that had something to do with it.

Yeah, it is the one with John Cusack. I've only seen bits and pieces of the movie but the book is truly horrendous.

I've had a crush on Cusack (in a healthy hetro way of course...) ever since "Grosse Point Blank". Now that was a fun movie.

I have the same thing, only I go back to Say Anything. There's a reason In Your Eyes is one of my all time favorite songs.

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

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.
