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.Originally Posted by Niamh

I rented the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man. On the cover it said that the edition I was renting was the director's cut with a shocking alternate ending not shown in theaters. The ending I saw was horrible.
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....

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.

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...
I may disagree strongly with what you have to say, but I will die to defend your right to say it.
Nothing improves a Bond film like taking all the invisible cars out of it, eh?
I saw Chaplin's The Gold Rush, the other day and liked it very much. The dance of the rolls has to be one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema. I've always like Chaplin, The Great Dictator is one of my favorite films.
What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it.

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!

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.

Is that based on the book by Douglas Kennedy? Think its only coming out this week in Ireland.
