I really want to see The Breakfast Club!
There’s a ton of famous movies I’ve been meaning to see, actually. I’m bad at getting around to these things. ![]()
I agree with Spirit and q_o_p. Bridesmaidswas very funny and very well done, especially considering it’s a modern comedy, which I generally dislike. I still like The Hangover better.
The first Hangover, you mean? The second one was one of my biggest disappointments last year.
I didn’t see it till I was about 16.
Well yes, of course.
I watched The Fantastic Adventures of Unico last night, a Japanese children’s animated movie based on a comic by Osamu Tezuka (known for Astro Boy). For something more strictly geared at a very young audience, I found it surprisingly charming and it held my interested far better than I thought. The characters were all quite likable and the music is very much of the time, but cute. It has a largely Sanrio-ish vibe, I believe Sanrio helped produce and localize it.
I realized I haven’t watched The Iron Giant in a while. Need to dig out my old VHS copy. I’m sure I still have it.
I watched that when I was very little and remember loving it, but I couldn’t really sit through it a few years ago, sadly.
Whaddya know, I genuinely enjoyed The Help.
See? It was a really good film. A very enchanting story.
I’m not surprised that it was an enjoyable movie to watch, but I guess the extent to which I enjoyed it was not expected. It was marketed as being a chick-flick comedy, at least from my perspective after watching trailers, so I was happy to see there was a fine balance of drama and humor, especially given the grave situation and plot.
Not sure what my next Netflix movie should be. Maybe 50/50.
50/50 is wonderful ![]()
50/50 and The Help were two of my favorite films of the year.
Both had a really enjoyable balance of humor and drama.
Just like what Pixar does when it’s at its best.
Anybody seen The Iron Lady? I’m thinking about seeing it.
I love the score. I think most people know I’m a Thomas Newman fan, but this score I hope will score him his 11th Oscar nomination. It’s got all of the trademark Newman sound with a really nice orchestral regal twist.
I have yet to see 50/50, but when I finished The Help that is precisely what I thought of it!
I haven’t seen it yet. I might do so though.
Anyone watch independent films?
Of course.
Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil was… entertaining. ![]()
The Room, of course. ![]()
