Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel - Page 34

flippyshark · 02-28-2010, 01:28 AM

Though the trade paperback has a movie photo on its cover, it's a real novel written by Dennis Lehane a few years ago. (He was also listed as associate producer on the movie, so I figure it has his blessing to some extent.)

I confess that I skimmed the last chapters a bit, and

Spoiler:

so it looks like the book probably has the same denouement as the movie.

Thanks for that, maybe now I'll read the books.

Oh, okay. Ooo. I'm so afraid to say anything.

You know,since the movie, I've been biting my tongue and avoiding the subject as much as possible. My 3 kids haven't seen it. ARGH

So, nice we could share what we have. Whew. A little steam released....

I watched 'The Crazies' tonight, while Rose watched Bon Jovi- I had fun; there were only 3 people, including myself in the theater.

Heheh, I watched a movie called C.R.A.Z.Y. a couple of nights ago. Cute French Canadian film about a harried family with five sons, and the one who grows up eccentric and fabulous and gay.

In theaters now: Go see The Ghost Writer. Don't be put off by Polanski's recent press. It's a much better Hitchcock movie than Shutter Island. Loved it.

I wish I could, but Orlando is too much of a backwater to have it yet. I think it opens wide in a few weeks, and I'm planning on seeing it.

Where's Alex? I was looking for the Alice review this morning and Alex isn't here!

One thing I have to mention here, The Crazies may just be a remake of a movie that doesn't really hold up too great, but using the Johnny Cash version of "We'll Meet Again" for the opening sequence made me smile.

The car wash scene gave me nightmares- I used to get really freaked out at a local car wash when I was a little kid.

Alice was boring.

There was a super great opportunity for plot twistiness, but they decided to go with conventional instead. Snoozefest.
