Sweeney Todd

I just returned from Hollywood where I saw this at the Arclight Cinema on Sunset.
They had a special showing where it's only 21 or over and drinking is allowed in the theater (from their bar of course.) Seating is assigned, ushers are present and the audience was well behaved, all for only a few dollars more than a regular theater.

The movie was great, a little slow to get going but dark in the extreme, Tim Burton didn't hold back on the gore at all, throats are slashed and blood flows in rivers, this is one of the few movies I've seen that actually shocked the audience.

All the actors were top notch, the music was only so-so but there were some songs that were pretty good.

Recommended if you don't mind the gore and violence.

There Will Be Blood. I will say that the movie seems a little unusual. That being said, I highly recommend it.

I recently saw this movie, I agree it was pretty typical of the virus/zombie movies that have been coming out a lot lately but had the potential for so much more. Also a new ending is in order kinda felt like there was more story that got glossed over. But still a very decent movie!

St. Elmo's Fire

Picked up at GW yesterday for $1.50

Forgot how much I enjoyed this movie.

Really brought me back to the '80s.

Reminded me how fortunate I am to have escaped that decade with half a brain.

"My face seats five."

favorite of many great lines in that movie.

Mr. Roberts - I'll stick with the old movies, back when there was character and plot. Oh yes, and the characters had character.

"The Bourne Ultimatum"
Good action flick, but this one seemed a bit more action and less plot and character, not that the others were brimming with it.

I just finished "Cars". I have never laughed so hard at a Disney flick in my entire life. Being a car nut, the constant in-jokes are a riot... and there's simply no way you can spot all of them the first time around.

The Player-Altman movie from '92, first time I've seen it, very good imo, stylized and "of its time"

The Crying Game, 2nd viewing, very unique film, so strange it feels like it's based on a true story, I like it a lot

Explorers, kids movie from 80s, one of my favorites back then, it's good until they actually make it into space

Bringing out the Dead, Scorcese, underrated, love the performances, love the music, driving/musical sequences are real art

Just watched a dvd a friend lent me-"Brain Donors" with John Turturro.Its a comedy from the early 90's that was a Marx Brothers redo.John gets to play the groucho part.I dont think its entirely succsessful,but there are so many great gags,and terriffic lines.The guys are getting ready to watch an opera,and John tells the usherette,"Miss,these seats are terrible!Theyre facing the stage!"Someone asks John if he is who he is,and John says,"Do I owe you money?"No"."In a drunken stupor did I promise to marry you?""No"."Then Im your man!"
A real sleeper,IMHO.
