I borrowed "Castle Keep" from the library last week. One of those weird artsy
WWI films from the late 60's, mostly, very cool to watch. The bit about the
Volkswagon was the funniest part, and there are a fair number of rather
atmospheric parts as well. Worth seeing, anyway.

The 2nd Harry Potter movie was good, though it was kind of scary in
spots for 6 year old John. It was also kind of long for 6 year old
John; 2 hours, 45 minutes I think.

It was long for 31 year old Brooke too.

I saw "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" this weekend. Neat movie that
gives some long overdue props to The Funk Brothers, who were the musicians
on almost all the Motown hits. Ann Arbor's Encore Records makes a cameo
appearance. It left me wanting to know more about the early days of Motown.

I'm planning on seeing it sometime this weekend, but I've heard mixed reviews,
many of which are simply apathetic and consider this to be an unspectacular
"more of the same offering." I'm glad it's worth the trip.

It was fun. We went in a Big Group (eight of us altogether) and we all enjoyed
it. Theater (first matinee today at the AMC 20 Livonia) was three quarters
full.

Thumbs down from six of the seven that went to see it. It wasn't badly
acted, it wasn't badly written, and it wasn't badly paced, but there was
nothing memorable whatsoever about it, and it never rose a shade beyond just
being acceptable.

So 6 out of 7 find acceptability unacceptable?

In our group, two were underwhelmed, but had fun during the viewing. Two were
more impressed. Rhiannon liked it, and Bruce and I both thought it was fun.
I don't know I'd call it spectacular, but I would watch it again. Griffin
thought it was slightly too long. (I did think it was definitely the "Data
and Picard" show, however.)

I took my son and nieces to see "Treasure Planet" while visiting
Tennessee. We all liked it very much.
It was the only time in my life that the people I was with were the
only ones in the theater. We had a private showing. I guess the movie
isn't selling very well.

That's happened to occasionally, when I've gone to a weekday matinee
showing of a movie that's been playing for a few weeks. A couple of
times I've been the *only* person in the theater.

I often go to an early show (11a) on Fridays since I dont work on
Fridays. I like kind of offbeat movies so a lot of the time, I have the
theater all to myself. It is cool.

I did like that movie...I thought it would probably be decent, but I
was still pleasantly surprised.
Say Elizabeth on DVD over the weekend. The movie was even better than
I remembered. I'm thinking this one's a must-own.

Haha!
Well it's not one of those movies that's really heart-pounding in
the "keeps you awake if you're sleepy way". :p

I guess I'm glad I didn't waste the bucks. I've heard that about
Nemesis, too.

ST: NEMESIS: I'm kind of blah about it. My ears hurt from too many
space battle sound effects. Leslie liked it.
My biggest problem with the movie is that there's no interesting
twists to the set-up. There's this guy, he's bad, he wants to attack
Earth, the Enterprise crew has to stop him. The writers wanted to
set up a nature vs. nurture debate, but I don't think they were
successful with it. The Romulan background to the story was
wasted.
My second-biggest problem with the movie is that the images are
way too dark and dim. My third-biggest problem with the
movie is that the universe really should not revolve around
Jean-Luc Picard.
On the positive side, it's nice to see the Old Gang again; fans of the
NextGen TV series really do have to go see this one.

I think they were pressed enough for time as it was - the parts of all the
regulars except Picard and Data are cut down to the point where you would
wonder why they were even there if you didn't know them from the show. So
I don't know what they would have cut to add interesting setup to the
villain.
Oh wait - they could have cut the dunebuggy chase scene. But they needed it
for the previews.

I guess I'll go to see it, then. I liked ST:TNG.
I am eagerly awaiting The Two Towers, which comes out Wednesday. I
probably won't see it until the weekend but I'm eagerly awaiting it
just the same.
