The Hunger Games is based on a trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins, who lives in my hometown. Of course, it's quite possible she ripped off Battle Royale.
Battle Royale was published in 1999. T ... |

The American Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is better than the Swedish version by leaps and bounds, and more true to the novel. And Rooney Mara is a better Lisbeth. That said, if you didn't like the Sw ... |

I read the Hunger Games books. (It took me maybe 6 hours total to read all 3 of them, since they're written for 14-year-olds and all.) They're not bad, for what they are. They're leagues beyond Twi ... |

Drive, possible SPOILER: I think he was heading down to Mexico at the end. I also think there might be a sequel. He was definitely a man of few words and of mystery.
SPOILER FOR Drive

Now for a movie I have seen. I may have even commented on it before. The Skin I Live In.
Gary..........Marta may have her reasons for liking this film but I'm with you on the creepy. It's my least ... |

Shannon, did you see The Cell?
Yeah, way back during its theatrical release. I liked it quite a bit, I remember.
Tarsem (I like how he goes by one name, like a pop star) also directed last su ... |

Finally started watching The Fall....it's one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. Some critics were bothered by the framing story, but it worked for me; essentially it comes down to putting y ... |

At least some humor would be nice. I mean, the audience couldn't even be bothered to laugh at Billy Crystal's jokes out of politeness. |

I hadn't watched The Oscars in probably five years until last night. It was excruciating. Emma Stone and Chris Rock provided the only entertainment. |

You lost me at War Horse. I'd trade 347 War Horses for one Artist.
But seriously, I thought The Artist was more than okay. It's not a great film, for sure, like Drive, The Descendants, or Begi ... |

Mystified by the reception TA seems to be getting from award groups. Nice film, charming, but not great in any way. But this chat has happened already, and I just have to shrug and say "a chacu ... |

And if the end of the earth means that these annoying overprivileged people will be decimated, then imo the collision happened about an hour or hour and a half too late.
But isn't this the point o ... |

I didn't realize John Hurt was in "Melancholia." Now I really want to see it.
Only barely.
Thrilled with Plummer's win. Beginners came out so long ago, I always forget about it during ... |
