Re Eragon: I'm worried about what will happen when miramax eventually get around to doing Artemis Fowl. I'll cry if that gets butchered! Idril, you do know theres talk of commencing the filming of the Hobbit dont you? i loved the Hobbit when i was in school.
I did know that. I'm not as emotionally attached to The Hobbit as I am to Tolkien's other writings of Middle-earth but I'm still anxious to see it. I'm actually glad Jackson won't be doing it, I think he may have made it heavier and darker than it was intended to be.Quote:

I read some reviews of the movie and no one seemed to like the movie. The story didn't make much sense and there were a lot of holes in the plot.
Did anyone happen to see it in the theaters and would you mind telling me the ending you saw? The ending I saw didn't seem to deviate from what I've read about the original from the 70's. But then again, I didn't see the original. I am just wondering how different the endings could have been....
:confused:
The Mrs and I saw Casino Royale today and we both like it very much. It really is a breath of fresh air yet keeping a sense of familiarity to it. Very nuanced in its presentation. Definitely buying the DVD when it comes out.
I watched Evil Dead 2 with my girlfriend last night but then we kind of got sidetracked half way through. I love the film though, heh.
Blade Runner: Directors Cut.
9/10
Based on Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick, it is a wonderful film in the sense it is so much richer than a lot of other sci-fi action movies. I adore this film, and anyone into sci-fi should know it off by heart.
Christ, I suck so much at reviewing films...
Nothing improves a Bond film like taking all the invisible cars out of it, eh?Quote:

The Freedom Writers with Hillary Swank and Patrick Dempsey- I enjoyed it. 7/10
I watched Little Miss Sunshine yesterday. It was sappier than I thought it would be but it was an enjoyable couple of hours. It was odd but nice to see Steve Carell in a more subdued role. Those pagent girls were absolutely horrifying though!
hummm they were talkiing about tha on film 2006 although the presnter ( Wossy) hadnt seen it so they didnt say much, which was annoying.
It was a good movie, I would recommend it. :thumbs_up Just be warned, there's a lot of swearing in it. :p
Swearing I dont mind, or violance,.. its nudity I object to, people just look better with clothes on IMO. :D

Well, you should be good then because there's none of that in the movie. ;)Quote:

I'm the same way, I can not handle scary movies and there's nothing that makes me more uncomfortable than seeing other people uncomfortable. Things like the Borat movie I just can't watch, not because I'm offended but I just can't stand to see people being made fun of or put into awkward situations, it just makes me cringe.
The last movie I watched was The Pursuit Of Happyness. It was ok...5/10. I like all kinds of movies but they have to have a good storyline. :)
