I watched the Moulin Rouge DVD this past weekend. Made me
think I have been in training all my life to see this movie. Not
only did I recognize some of the songs, I recognized just about all
the songs (okay, found out they did sneek in an original or two).
I do feel that I could of found more music for them if they wanted.

One thing I'll say about Moulin Rouge - I still can't really figure
out whether I liked it or not - it's impossible to sleep through. Unless you
were on a coke jag at the time and crashing hard.

Re #2: Cool. I'll have to see it if the Henry Ford Museum's IMAX theater
shows it.

I should check that out, too. I've seen Apollo 113 in some of the best
exterior scenes possible.

resp:11 - Have you seen 'Tampopo' or 'The Taxing Woman'? Both are
pretty good, especially the latter.

resp:2 My understanding, from the sources I've read, is that EpII
comes out both to DVD and IMAX in November.
I'm trucking my butt over to Spokane as fast as I can when that
happens. Riverside Park and Star Wars, here I come!

MOONLIGHT MILE-- This is a movie about grieving. Dustin Hoffman and
Susan Sarandon play an average couple in a small town who had an only
child, a college-age daughter, who was killed in a senseless, meaningless
shooting in a bar (this all happens before the movie begins so it is not
giving away anything) Their daughter was engaged to be married, and the
movie details the weeks and months following her death, and how the
parents and the young man who was her fiancee deal with their loss. This
young man did not marry Hoffman and Sarandon's daughter, so never became
officially part of their family. But the daughter was the glue that kept
this couple together, so they in their grief cling on to him as something
of a "replacement" for their lost child. And he lets them, because he is
dealing with his own grief and needs to be close to her parents, the only
ones who can truly share his loss. What happens to the relationship
between someone and their in-laws, when the link in that relationship goes
away? This is a pretty moving, emotional movie. Has some script issues
but featurs strong performances from Hoffman, Sarandon, and Jake
Gyllenhaal as the young widowed fiancee. It is directed by Brad
Silberling, who directed "Election", a wonderful movie from a couple years
back.

BANGER SISTERS. This movie has a great premise and two great actresses.
Too bad they didn't hire any good writers. It's so boring, I almost
fell asleep watching it.

Saw "Sweet Home Alabama" last night. It was tolerable. Adrienne liked it
more than I did (of course). Personally, I don't think she deserved the guy
she ended up with.

re 18 - was it classy the way she treated him? What about the way she treated
his (and her) friends? Or the way she treated her parents?
She was a selfish snob.

<haven't seen it...but from previews would have to agree with ric>
Saw MIB II last night. Wonderful fun, for a two-hour $3 break from lab at
the campus movie program.

I dont do first run movies anymore. Wait. I did see Simone. It stunk.
On a brighter note, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Time Bandits are
now on DVD, as is Wallace and Gromit.

Six hours ago I'd never heard of the new German movie "Mostly Martha;"
I stumbled across it in the Michigan Theater listings and the
reviews looked promising, and Leslie has been wanting to see some
movies to refresh her German language skills, so we went.
It's a wonderfully warm, sad and funny story; in some ways a
resetting of "About A Boy." Martha, the protagonist, doesn't
deal with anything in life except cooking, and then an 8-year-old
girl gets dropped into her life... the cooking framework of the
story is portrayed lushly, and I expect foodies will get a kick out
of that too.
Highly recommended to European cinema fans. I think it runs at the
Michigan at least through Thursday.
