"Only Angels Have Wings"
Just one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I also could not wait for LOTR to end. That went on forever!

@ lordandre - you know there's a similar theory about "Vertigo". Everything after the scene with Midge in Scotty/Jonny/Jonny O/Ferguson's room in the hospital is an imagining on Ferguson's part. He keeps trying to make it right, but he keeps being deceived and she keeps dying over and over and over. Notice that

I think "Drag Me To Hell" might be one of my favorite movies - meaning, a movie I can watch anytime and see something new in it. Like "Vertigo", and "Superman", and "Blade Runner". I should watch it with my sister.

Wow. I totally forgot that I'd seen "Shutter Island" until I read this. That's not a good sign…I don't think I was drunk. I think it just didn't register at all.

Yeah but being "real" destroys everyone. Ahem. Seriously. The irony of Pinocchio longing to be "real" is that being "real" means being "mortal". Actually, believe it or not, I just reread the Carlo Collodi novel last week (I was visiting my sister) and the desire on Geppetto's part and on Pinocchio's part is that

Lord Andre, it was cathartic wasn't it. The rest of the movie had problems…but when the ship actually sank, wow. Impossible not to think "this really happened", and that this might really be what it looked like.

God. I hated that movie. Hated. Spacey's character should have killed himself, at the beginning, to save us his moping and bitching. Annette Bening's character was terribly written. I hated it. Hated it! And everyone else LOOOOOOOVED it!!!!! Though its reputation has shrunk over the years, thankfully.

"Hot Fuzz", on the other hand, was perfect all the way through. In my opinion. Crash course in very specific action movies, then conspiracy thriller, then actual action movie that we learned about in act one. PERFECT! (No, I"ve never seen "Bad Boys II" or "Point Break").

Flaubert, you might be remembering two events as one. She tried to GIVE it away to her hated coworker, but couldn't go through with it. She then tried to return it to the corpse of the woman who'd cursed her, and that's where she failed by mistake - she gave the corpse the wrong envelope.

Yes, I forgot about "The Abyss"! I was watching it by myself and was just blown away by it, so I turned it off halfway through and rewatched it with my then-boyfriend. By the end I was…"oops". I was genuinely embarassed.

OK I'm apparently just posting the same thing over and over, but here goes. I loved "Exotica". I was really into that movie - the pacing, the cinematography, everything about it. It was beautiful. I haven't seen all of Atom Egoyan's movies, but he's really interesting. The first one I saw was The Adjuster, and

Really? I was really disappointed in Prince Caspian - since when is Reepicheep, one of my favorite characters, a damn copy of Puss n Boots from "Shrek"??? But I loved The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I thought it literally didn't put one foot wrong. Tilda Swinton? Oh THAT'S what the book means when it says

I loved ADAPTATION. I expected to like it, but was really surprised by how I LOVED it. Same with I HEART HUCKABEES.

I'm seeing it Saturday on a blind date. I really want to see it, which is weird because I literally never watched the original show.

Really idiotking? At his prime he was pretty much my ideal - of course, I'm easy. He sure wasn't talented though…

How embarassing. I see that he wasn't. Ahem.

Ok. Since we're going there…isn't Freddie Prinze Jr in this? Not the most talented guy but godDAMN he was was sex on wheels back then. I seem to recall thinking about seeing this just for that reason.

Actually I never saw it. But I understand there are some awfully pretty people in it who get naked. But, meh. I probably never will see it.
