Even though I liked both of the moms, my favorite is Nic. I'm drawn to butch characters with soft hearts. I felt bad for her as the movie went on, but like I said, I was so happy that she and Jules made up in the end.

Lord Of The Rings, the extended trilogy.

It started with a game about dwarves, now I'm stuck in a Middle-Earth mood.

I know I enjoyed this film wish they would do a movie like that from a gay male couples point of view,

I just watched Diary Of The Dead the other night. Very good zombie flick - much recommended. The last guy in the group of survivors who you'd expect proves to the ballsy bad ass.

I cryed when they made up at the end of the film it touched my heart so deeply.

The last movie I watched was Fist Of The North Star it was.....nothing like the anime at all.

The Kids Are Alright made me angry because of how nasty and petty they were.

How was they nasty or petty in the movie is it because they where a female couple in the film? The movie made me cry tears of joy when they got back together at the end of the film.

Restless - Yes, I watched another Mia Wasikowska movie. She is my favorite actress and I want to see everything she's in. I know this movie didn't get the best reviews, but I absolutely loved it! Sorry Alice, but I think Annabel is the best/most lovable Mia Wasikowska character. Oh and I loved the fact that the main male character has an imaginary friend! They refer to him as a ghost in the movie, but whether he really was a ghost or just a figment of that character's imagination is open to interpretation.

Even though this movie is actually very uplifting and the scenes aren't too dramatic, I spent most of it in tears because Mia's character has a terminal illness (not spoilers - anyone who watches the trailer or reads the description on Netflix knows this) and I kept anticipating her death scene. I can't remember the last time I cried so hard, for so long, but I think it has more to do with my own mental state at this particular point in time than about this movie, since I've been feeling pretty out of sorts lately. Or maybe I'm just extremely upset by the thought of my favorite actress dying even if it's just a role in a movie. I don't know.

Bottom line, though, is that if you are a Mia Wasikowska fan, this movie is a must-see.

V for Vendetta- Liked it better than I thought I would. I liked Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman in this movie.

Alice in Wonderland (2010): I liked the costumes.
Extremely close and incredibly loud: It was nice....I liked Everything is Illuminated way better (which is an understatement).

This is supposed to be one of the better Roger Corman/Edgar Allan Poe movies, but I couldn't wait to turn it off. The young lead is an obnoxious and arrogant prick, one of the least likable heroes I've ever seen in a film. It moves so slowly that it was boring me when the lead wasn't pissing me off, and the attempts at being scary are embarrassing. Tales of Terror, The Raven, and The Haunted Palace were much better than this. Even The Oblong Box was better. What a load.

Um...you mean Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close...I haven't watched it myself,
in fact I really can't since saying so is somewhat connected to a family secret.

PM me if you want to know.

I always mix those words up. As I was writing this post I was thinking I'm probably doing it wrong again and should look it up. Obviously I didn't.

I liked it a lot, too; I have yet to read the original graphic novels, though (and I call myself a comic book lover??? Shame on me!). I thought 'V' had a healthy dose of humour, and I appreciate that in a superhero movie. It didn't take itself too seriously.

I just came back from my third day of Cinemasia Film Festival, and this time I saw two movies: 'Red Light Revolution' (Hong Deng Meng), from China, and 'When Hainan Meets Teochew', from Singapore. Both were comedies, and I enjoyed them a great deal. However, I'm too tired to write much about them right now... 'Hainan Meets Teochew' was a bit surrealistic; very off-beat. Red Light Revolution was more of the quick-fire jokes.

Just a bit of a correction - while The Haunted Palace had had some connection to a Poe poem, the storyline had had more to do with H.P. Lovecraft's The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward.

Moneyball just now. Meh. Was hoping for more Aaron Sorkin dialogue but there was lots of silence.
