Yay! Movies!

About a Boy

About A Boy at Amazon
This was a charming story. I really like Hugh Grant. They kept saying he was selfish in the movie, but I didn't really think he was. He just wanted to be left alone. Is it selfish to want to be left alone? It was cool how the boy sort of adopted him. I liked when the boy would show up... [About a Boy continued]

After Hours

After Hours at Amazon
I saw this first when I was in college. It's the story of one eff-upped night in the life of Paul Hackett (played by Griffin Dunne). He keeps meeting people who seem normal but end up showing a weird side. Eventually, he sprouts a weird side himself when everything builds up so much. He goes off on a long story... [After Hours continued]

All I Want

All I Want at Amazon
I've had this movie on my TiVo for ages, and I've played it many times while doing other things. I've been a Franka Potente fan ever since I saw her in The Bourne Identity, and I've liked Elijah Wood, too (even before he was Frodo). What kept me playing it over and over, I think, is the soundtrack. I've had... [All I Want continued]

All The Real Girls

All The Real Girls at Amazon
Paul Schneider plays Paul, a young man in his 20s in a small town who's made the rounds with the women there. He's not been very nice to them. He falls for his best friend's sister, Noel, played by Zooey Daschanel and falls out with his best friend over it. This is pure indie film. Guys hanging out saying goofy...

Amelie (sub)

Amelie (subtitles) at Amazon
I was soooo looking forward to seeing this movie. I kept hearing great comments about it whenever someone mentioned it. I turned it off just after the opening credits. I didn't realize there were subtitles. I have no problem with movies in other languages, but I can't enjoy it if I'm distracted by having to read. I'll watch it when... [Amelie (sub) continued]

America's Sweethearts

America's Sweethearts at Amazon
Great movie! Unless you don't like romantic comedy chick flicks. But I like 'em, so I loved it! John Cusack is getting older and more distinguished. Just my personal opinion, but I can see him as the next Harrison Ford or whatever. He's handsome and funny and dreamy and stuff. :love I liked that scene where Julia Roberts wakes up...

Apollo 13

Apollo 13 at Amazon
This near tragedy happened in 1970**. I was 6 years old, so I don't remember it at all. I remember one Apollo mission, though, I was in the car, and we were listening to a lift off on the radio. When lift off happened, I was looking all around every way in hopes to see the rocket going up. Back... [Apollo 13 continued]

At Close Range

At Close Range at Amazon
This movie has one of my most favorite songs ever, "Live To Tell" by Madonna. I got the single back in the day and it had a karoake version on the B side, so I could sing it by myself. Woo-Hoo!! Christopher Walken is freaky as usual, but in this one he has big hair. Sean Penn's in it, too,... [At Close Range continued]

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension at Amazon
Woo-Hoo! One of my favorite movies! Buckaroo Banzai is a neurosurgeon, particle physicist, martial arts expert and rock n roll star. I had a crush on Perfect Tommy. Not because he was perfect or anything. But because he had a great smile. :) I'm not a big fan of John Lithgow except when he's serious, but he doesn't annoy me...

The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders

The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders at Amazon
Oh what an awful movie! :b It was so bad, that I quit watching it before it was over. And that's saying a lot because I usually try to torture myself once I start a movie just so I can say I saw the whole movie. I guess it was supposed to be lighthearted and fun in parts, but it...
