'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
An excellent review of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is lightweight and airy, a breeze through the stale theater air of early March. The period setting, big band sound, and impeccable costumes lend it an air of apparent sophistication...At this time of the year, it's tough to find a more diverting way to spend 90 minutes in a multiplex.
Of course, in my crack-addled brain, I expect it to be a movie about Peter's mother and her adventures before her son turned Death Eater.
Miss Pettigrew, dear.
Possibly Peter's maiden auntie?
Oooh! I like that!
This is a really interesting dialogue for anyone who is interested in Errol Morris and Werner Herzog [link] -- I had heard there was some tension there but maybe this marks their rapprochement?

Oh, awesome. I've been looking forward that movie since I first watched the trailer good 2-3 months ago. I could *so* do with a frothy good-natured screwball comedy just about now. Plus, the cast is to die for. Amy Adams! Frances McDormand! Ciaran Hind! LEE PACE ZOMG!
It's opening in "limited engagement" this weekend, and God knows what that'd mean in my neck of the woods.

That's awesome. Thanks! I'd heard about the tension, too: something about Herzog wanting to dig up a grave to verify something? I knew they were friends back in the 70s (Morris finishing Gates Of Heaven was why there is a documentary of Herzog eating his own show, for instance), but I don't remember the details of their break.
Ciaran Hinds cast in the Escape to Witch Mountain remake.
I hope they make a better version of the book than that first Disney effort. I was highly disappointed in that film after really loving the book.
At least in the dialogue it appears that Errol was made at Werner for filming a movie in Plainview. I kind of love those two coots.
