Be prepared for extreme tension and apolitical incorrectness in the Bigelow masterwork, and the saving grace of the splatter in District 9 is not only that it happens very quickly, in near-documentary fashion, but that, as seldom, it is justified by the premise. |

I did finally see Kamikaze Girls. I liked it. Does that count? |

Am glad you enjoyed G.I. Joe, though. Will add it to the list. It's a long list, but I'll try to bump it up a few notches. |

Inla...........Maybe your mother will take up cooking Julia's recipes and you can let us know how they turn out...
I had a delicious cream of carrot soup today.
I'm not a fan of war movies or action movies........but if you think they're good I'm influenced. |

Am quite certain the mater will take up Julia's recipes. She's already considering a rotisserie to spit-roast a chicken, and has started practicing her omelet flipping technique. Many eggs will perish, I fear, but she's enjoying herself.
Mmmmmmm, cream of carrot soup. Am hungry all over again. THAT is the other thing J&J lacks: a warning that "This movie will make you want to eat, and eat some more, and eat again after that." |

Ordinarily that soup would not have appealed to me, but the cafe was offering free samples......and there was a touch of curry........Yummmmmm |

| Okay, that's it. I have to go get some Indian food, now, because as PDQ Bach would say, if you'd curry favor, favor curry. |

| All About Steve scores 0 out of 34 reviews! Sandra Bullock plays a crossword puzzle constructor, so I was mildly interested, but......! |

Oh, my. That's not a good sign for AAS or Ms. Bullock. There's usually at least one good/tolerant notice.

I beg your pardon. I reviewed it here the day after the movie came out. |

Syd......haven't found your review yet but I did find Inla's:
Quote: Of course, THE movie of our recent film going must wait until it's possible for me to do justice to why I loved it, perhaps in a (Famous inla First) actual review of it for Lorne to post. For now, let's just say that Julie & Julia is now my third (second if you count Up and Hurt Locker as tied for first) favorite film of 2009 so far, and that the bipolar, seam-full aspects that most critics belabor were probably my favorite thing about the movie, apart from the awards-bound Mrs. Gummer and Stanley T. (and a scene-devouring Jane Lynch). It's not deep-dish, it won't change the world as we know it or would like to see it, but it seemed to me entirely delectable. Would say that at least 80 per cent of the audience were wommyn, and more power to 'em. We went out and gorged ourselves at Le Petit Bistro afterwards. Fully expect to see it again after I've dieted.
I think I'm going to take a break before I resume searching..... |
