It's a sickness

Feb 01, 2008 12:29

Holy crap, I've seen a lot of movies this month. At the beginning of the year, Tom and Stephanie were comparing all the movies they'd seen at the theatre in the past year, and I sat there thinking, "I could count the number I'd seen in '07 on one hand. Pathetic. What kind of sham cinephile am I anyway?" So, this year, I resolved to make an effort ( Read more... )

Of the ones you reviewed, I want to see Juno, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood.

We don't generally make it out to the movie theatre these days, but we've seen a fair number of movies on our small screen... one of these days I'll post about them. But probably not THIS weekend's cinematic experience of Hannah Montana concert in 3-d *shudder*

You know, I was shocked that Entertainment Weekly gave the Hannah Montana 3-D such a favorable review: B-. Let me guess...Sarah's choice? ;)

Actually, BOTH kids begged.
They saw the commercial and started begging immediately. Z is still too young to be embarassed by such things *grin*

There's nothing wrong with not seeing a lot of movies. Most of them suck.

Normally I'd agree wholeheartedly, but 2007 seemed to put forth a surprising number of excellent movies. Do I dare to hope it's a sign of things to come, or stick with the near certainty it was a fluke?

With our new cinema card we'll probably see more this year than last, but it's a kind of arty cinema that shows 1 film at a time, and for £30 for the entire year, I'm not stressing over going too often.

I want to see Juno and No Country for Old Men. Will see Cloverfield on monday and today we're seeing something or other I can't remember the name of ;p

Ellen Page - can't wait to see her in something other than Hard Candy (which was a greta film, but with parts I didn't really buy in it).

Will probably try and see many of the films showing in the cinema we go to in the summer, once we can cycle there.. and once my overtime has slowed down (and we employ temps during the summer, so I know it'll be nicer then!)

Mr. Tom brought Hard Candy to our little cinema club a few weeks ago. Yoiks! The ending was a bit muddled for me, but that may be because other club members kept interjecting comments like, "Oh my God!" and "I can't believe this!" making it impossible to hear the dialogue.

Yay for movies. I do want to see Juno.

madam_sosostris February 3 2008, 05:41:42 UTC

Seen anything good lately? You should definitely see Juno. I forgot to mention that the soundtrack rules.

I saw Cloverfield. I liked it, but it gave me a headache.

The last movie I saw before that was I Am Legend. I liked it up until the disappointing ending.
