'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Saw The Hammer and In Bruges last night. After a slow start, I really liked Bruges, and thought the performances were excellent. It was clealry a movie written by a playwright, but the actors really dug inot the dialogue. Brendan Gleeson was all kinds of subtle and good.
The Hammer is a cute little low-budget movie which stars Adam Carolla (of Loveline and Man Show game) and was actually quite sweet and enjoyable.
Persian king Xerxes was not an 8-foot-tall Cirque du Soleil reject.
You don't say!
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.
I'm amazed they only devoted three sentences to Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Was there one single moment in that movie that wouldn't make a history teacher cry?
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.
They did say nice things about it.
We rented Kinky Boots last night, and I have to say, I was really impressed with Chiwetel Ejiofor. I've only ever seen him as a bad guy, so I was dubious about his ability to play a sympathetic character, but he was great.
Plus he looks killer in a dress.
He just won an Olivier award, which is a huge deal for UK actors. He's a really, really good actor.
He's a really, really good actor.
I was impressed with the way he was so completely at ease, physically, when he was dressed as a woman, but totally awkward and uncomfortable, physically, when he was dressed as a man.
Including 2001 doesn't really seem fair.
I have to agree. "Wildly inaccurate predictions of the future," maybe. But if 2001 belongs because it got 30 years in the future wrong, Minority Report also belongs there.
