"Capturing the Friedmans" isn't a film for everyone. It's about
a family with a normal facade suddenly the center of a child
sexual abuse scandal.
This incredible documentary takes us along through discovery, the
investigation, the pleas, the verdicts and the aftermath. You watch a
family blowup. And go on. It's a powerful film with no answers just
some difficult questions.
Highly recommended.

Saw "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" with the beau yesterday.
Not a great movie, but it was a lot of fun. Some of the lines just
amused the hell out of me. One of my favorite characters was the
Jeckyl/Hyde combo performed by Jason Flemmyng (I think that's how it's
spelled) I liked him in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and his
bit part in Mean Machine, so my liking him here wasn't a surprise.
some of the characters seemed a little flat- like Shane West's
character. However, the fight scenes were fun to watch. Captain Nemo
and Dorian Grey especially. :)

I saw LXG last night, and I'm with Anne. Shane West seemed ill-equipped to
go up against the others. Too young, to inexperienced . . .
LOVED Stuart Townsend though . . . yummy! And the scene with Peta Wilson and
him battling was sexy as hell. Jason Flemyng was great. I loved his effects
for Hyde - it's what they should have been going for with "The Hulk".

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean last night. It was a lot better than I
thought it would be. Johnny Depp did a great job. Even Aaron, who isnt
a Johnny Depp fan by any means, thought so.

"The Natural" was on Bravo last night. That reminded me to ask this question
(I never read the book): At the party at Memo's, after Gus was unable to
bribe Roy to help throw the last 3 games of the regular season, Memo at one
point put something in Roy's mouth to eat ("Try this."). Later, Roy has to
leave the party in pain with some kind of stomach ailment, gets admitted to
the hospital. Did Memo in fact poison Roy?

re #62 and 63- isn't he though? He's right up there with Jason
Statham. :)
It's pretty much been proposed that Shane West's character was only
there to serve as sort of a living reminder of Quartermaine's dead son.
And yeah, the Mina and Dorian scenes were oh so much fun. :) Dorian
just oozed attitude and arrogance- such fun!
Haven't seen The Hulk, but I'll take your word on that, Brooke. We seem
to have so many similar movie tastes anyhow. ;)

Seen _Catch me if you can_ tonight on DVD. Funny flick with a nice
ending. It would have been a lot better if the titanic dude wasn't cast
opposite Hanks but, details. IT was part of a haul of DVD rentals that
were purchased from a major chain for 10$US each. Gonna rip the DVD and
post the ISO VCD images on the SHazBat p2p network so my posse can enjoy
it if they want to. Fuck the RIAA et al, it it were so good in the
first place folk would have paid to see it live or in the theater in the
first place. The fact that it is "rented out" along with the other
"direct to video" stinkers means that hundreds of people "share" the DVD
one person at a time and each one could have duped it. And finally the
original owner sold the DVD to me for a flat fee - probably because
nobody wanted to borrow it anymore - for anywhere from half to one tenth
the "retail cost" on which the Industry bases its claim for "damages".
Its a dollar they never would have collected in the first place so its
hard to figure how they are damaged.
"SHazBat p2p network" operates out of Nauru Island and offers byte for
byte downloads of stuff. You upload stuff and you get credit for the
same number of bytes of stuff downloaded.

Actually, I enjoyed diCaprio; I thought it made a nice proof he was actually
capable of acting, but I hadn't seen any of his pre-Titanic work, either.

DiCaprio was excellent in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and Woody Allen's
"Celebrity". I thought he was okay in "Catch Me If You Can" too.
Although I enjoyed "Catch Me If You Can", I thought the ending was typical
Spielberg sentimental hokiness.

"The Swimming Pool" might be worth seeing just for the French country home
and surroundings. But the ending was not at all worth the slow ramp-up.
Bleh.
"Adaptation" played with the same concept and pulled it off way
better.

The Michigan Theatre will be showing Easy Rider this Sunday at 4pm and Tuesday
at 7pm. As I work Sunday, I am planning to go Tuesday. Anyone like to join
me?

Saw American Wedding last night--pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
Laughed my ass off, and spent about the same amount of time hiding my face
because I couldn't bear to watch.

Unfortunately, I won't be attending Easy Rider after all; dinner arrangements
with my parents.

Caught Hulk at the dollar theater last Sat. Not much plot to speak
of. Just Hulkster bouncing 'round the country with the military in
persuit. Eye candy, nothing more.

"Northfork" is a sparse film where the landscape is the lead
character. Odd, in a fascinating way. A valley is about to
die and be reborn and this process is mirrored in a few of
the last to leave inhabitants. I can't say enough about the
cinematography. It's stunning.
Showing at the Michigan. This is most certainly one you'll
want to catch on the big screen if possible.

Watched "Emma" on video. Quite enjoyble. Though they did rush Emma's
feelings for Knightley toward the end.

Have you seen "Clueless", the updated version of "Emma"? Highly
recommended.

Yup, I've watched that. I'd read the book earlier, but somehow hadn't
made the connection. It's only when I watched the movie "Emma" that
the parallels became much clearer.
