Transformers. Loved it, even though it nearly busted my bladder. Well worth seeing though.

A.I.
I liked it even thought since I had no electricityI couldn't finish watching it. But I give a 8 out of ten.

Oh my, that was the saddest movie I have ever seen.The only movie that could counter it in that was Edward Scissorhands...

I cried watching Edward Scissorshands, It was just SO SADOh my, that was the saddest movie I have ever seen.

Ah yes! And Johnny so cute...

Twin Peaks
I know it's an old one...Reign of Fire.....on the TV at the moment.....
Matthew McConaughey at his finest....'have your little 'swaray'...raspy voiced...jumping into the mouth of the dragon...swinging that axe...awesome....
That movie was OK but Dragonheart was much, much, better. Starting from the voice of Sean Connery and finishing with incredible special effects...

In a Dark Place - Starring Leelee Sobieski
1/10
Summary: A spacy long-haird art instructor named Anna, who dresses in form-fitting, lowcut sweaters and tight-fitting dresses gets fired from her teaching post and takes a job as a nanny. But for some reason, she sleeps with the principal after he cans her (apparently - that's what the movie seems to suggest). The principal goes on to set her up with the nanny job (I guess to pay back the favor?) and she goes to the interview in her best form-fitting, low-cut sweater and skirt ensemble and gets hired on the spot.
The children Anna is paid to care for are orphans and their wealthy uncle provides for them. She goes to live in his spooky mansion with the children, (Flora and Miles). Miles is away at a boarding school, but quickly joins his sister and Anna and Ms. Gross (who is the uncle's secretary/household manager) after he is expelled from yet another school.
At once strange things happen. Anna sees a strange man outside the window and finds out the previous Nanny drowned in the pond nearby. All the while, the children seem to be up to mischief or worse.
And that's all I know. Anna walks around in a half-open bathrobe a lot, has flashbacks to her childhood, goes through Ms. Gross' panty drawer and finds a picture of the strange man she saw outside the window, has a strange relationship with Ms. Gross, sits in the tub a lot, and is startled while sitting in the tub and has to stand up abrubtly.
The ending was as incoherent as the rest of the movie and when it was over, I wasn't sure what happened at all. The point of the movie may have been to leave the viewer wondering whether it's a ghost story at all, or just a story about a crazy person, but I am thinking maybe they meant for Anna's character to be stark-raving mad. Whatever the case, it was 2 hours of my time that I will never get back. The best part was reading this review of it afterward, trying to figure out what just happened:
Leelee Sobieski proves to be ill fitting as lead. Her natural, tight coiled demeanor and monotone voice lends to unconvincing expressions ranging from blank to forced. Donato seems to think that filming her in the bath and an open robe will make up for this. Its actually pretty laughable. Within the first five minutes she's had two obligatory bath scenes. Later, Anna passes out, wakes up hearing voices, walks around in an open robe (for the fourth or fifth time in the film), then, takes a bath. Again, later, Anna has a tryst with Miss Grose, wakes up, walks around in an open robe, has a ghostly crack-up, solution: take a bath! Miles escapes off into the night, they get him out of the cold, Anna sleeps in his room, of course, in a an open robe. You get the idea. Rinse (pun intended) and repeat.
"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
That's funny, seeing as how Henry James's Turn of the Screw (which this seems, by all appearances, to be vaguely based on, considering the very similar plot and identical names) shares this weird ambiguity. I've not heard of this adaptation, though I've seen a few others; perhaps I'll have to look into it. But then, in light of your review, maybe not...
First Post!
Watched Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa last night. This is ofcourse a classic movie that can be rated only by 10/10, the first and still the best '' action movie'' ever made. The movie is an epic tale of friendship and courage,the characters are all memorable and you bond easily with them. Everything about this movie says it is made by people who loved doing it every step of the way. That combined with the considerable talent of director Kurosawa makes this a classic masterpiece.
I know what you mean! But unfortunately for me i had to miss a bit of the movie cause i just couldnt hol it in any longer!
That movie was brill! I loved Bumble!

I'm having deja vu here... how many times I see this phrase... I guess I should see that movie, I love movies which people refer to as "incoherent".
