Really Farnoosh? :smile5: I struggled through this one. The American guy she met in India really irritated me. I liked the Italian part though.Quote:

funny how university students can argue about the meaning of a film, all like it but argue about this and that in it. I loved it and wonder about many things in it but not in a way that makes me want to argue about it.
I just saw Summer of the Colt (an Argentinean movie about children and teenagers in a family ranch owned by grandparents). I think it's very good.
pretty in pink, can't help but love Hughes. I know they are aimed at teenagers but I'm almost twenty-six-teen. I just like'em
I love Hughes movies! I've been on a Hughes bender lately. Lots of Weird Science and brat pack and Home Alone. I love his hilarious older people.

Currently watching Spring, Summer, Winter etc, etc. I'm enjoying it very much so far. Nice scenery and Buddhist stuff. Recommended.
Saw The Women in Black earlier in the week as well. Not bad but didn't work as well as the play. Good to see Hammer Horror produce something again though.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Gary Oldman, not bad
Mark Strong, Fantastic
Rating (w/o reading the books or seeing bbc version)--8/10
Rating (having done both)--6/10
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
I just got that one the other day. Haven't watched it yet.
"We Need to Talk About Kevin" -- pretty good, a bit disturbing. 7/10 I guess.
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" -- not bad, worth watching. Another 7/10 or so.
I just watched Breaking Dawn part 1. It was quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.
The plot is already so incredibly awful, but I did enjoy the movies because I thought they were pretty and I liked the music. This one, however, was not even remotely interesting. I talked through the entire thing, making up my own lines to the really really tedious and bland storyline.
This is what happens when you try to milk the system by turning a perfectly normal one-part-plot into a two-part-movie. They had to drag everything out in order to stretch it into two movies. The fourth book could have easily been done into one movie. Tip: DON'T make the wedding scene an entire half an hour. DON'T make the honeymoon scene another dreadfully boring half an hour where all they do is play chess, not have sex, and swim in the ocean.
Part of me has always sort of enjoyed the movies for the scenery and stuff but I guess as time goes on, I'm realizing what a complete load of crap Twilight is, and I don't even want to be around it anymore. It's marketed towards the most cliche, ridiculous 13 year old girls who think that romance is a love triangle between two (arguably) hot men who risk their lives daily to keep them safe and that the entire world revolves around them and their "uniqueness" compared to the insignificance of every other girl. Complete trash. It's turning young girls into idiots who think life falls apart if their boyfriend leaves them and to expect fairy tale romance when that doesn't even exist. I'm so over teenage romance expectations. They're in for a big disappointment.
Master & Commander - 9/10
But maybe I'm just such a sucker for Naval movies.
I agree that the Twilight movies are horrible. I watched them strictly for MST3K type purposes, like for mocking and hilarity. If they're viewed as comedies, they're actually somewhat good. Haha. Actually, no. No, they are not.Quote:

The Painted Veil. 8/10 I loved it, even if they did change the ending. Edward Norton and Naomi Watts did a fine job. Good period piece.
Alvin and the Chipmunks III: Chipwrecked. Probably better than Skyline, if Mutatis is any judge.
This is one of my favourite novels, how did they change the ending?Quote:
