The last couple of movies I saw before I left for the cultureless vacuum of school were Munich and The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Memoirs of A Geisha
I honestly thought this was the WORST film I had ever seen. It was too predictable. The costumes were gorgeous, but other than that it was just "bllaahhh"

Posted: 1/19/06 at 11:30pmI saw MYSTERIOUS SKIN recently. As not a big fan of Greg Akari, I was ASTONISHED by how much I loved the film...and how affected I was by it.

Posted: 1/19/06 at 11:31pmPalJoey'sPal and I saw Narnia and loved it. It's reawakened my love for the books and for Lewis, as I posted in bwaysinger's thread.

Gee PJ, I'm surprised you'd hand over your hard earned liberal cash to a right-wing Republican-funding producer like that. I wish I could be so situational with my ethics, because I might like that movie but my conscience would never forgive me.
I saw and LOVED "New York Doll," the documentary about Arthur "Killer" Kane.

Namo, my ethics may or may not be "situational," but I learned from Leonard Bernstein that all art is political and great art transcends politics. Bernstein brought Wagner to the Israel Philharmonic, because he wanted everyone to know that it is possible to love Wagner's music and hate Wagner's politics (or, more precisely, how Hitler's politics appropriated Wagner's music).
Narnia meant something very deep to me as a child, as it did to PalJoey'sPal, and we were both pleased that the movie lived up to that, in a way more than the Lord of the Rings movies have.
Oh--and nice to hear about your "seXxxy partner."

NYC's last showing of Rent today 
(who woulda thought you'd wanna hear about that film over another one so soon?)
Also, memoirs of a geisha(okay), producers(I really enjoyed it), school of rock(cute), and the family stone(cute as well)

So far in 2006:
The Producers (blah)
Memoirs Of A Geisha (ugh)
Match Point (really ugh)
Just Like Heaven (saved by the performances)
Rumor Has It.... (ick)
Fun With Dick & Jane (more fun than I thought it would be)
Munich (blah)
This next week I should see Jarhead, A Cock & Bull Story, Underworld Evolution (ah, guilty pleasures) and Derailed.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
