Seen any good movies recently?

[Joad]

I just went to see "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo" and it was a great movie. Right after the movie, I went and bought "The Girl Who Plays with Fire" and "The Girl that Kicked the Hornets Nest." I'm going to have to plow through them before the next two movies in the trilogy are released. The woman that plays Lisbeth Salander was amazing, and incredibly sexy. There are some pretty explicit sex scenes that may not go over well with some people, but I would definitely recommend it, the movie that is.

If anyone else has seen it, can you tell me if it is fairly close to the book?

"Hedwig & the Angry Inch" was entertaining, also "Frida."

"Hedwig & the Angry Inch" was entertaining

An old ex-friend of mine used to call Hedwig and the Angry Inch an "on the rag movie," because for some reason she always wanted to watch it when she was menstruating. She was a weird girl, and a very bad friend. In fact, I totally hate her guts. But oh well.

My boyfriend and I watched The Crazies tonight (the 2010 version), freaking awesome. Having seen the original (by George Romero, no less) gave me a point of reference, and even though the scripts are completely different and the focuses are opposite, there are enough similarities to be able to compare the two and see how the new movie uses Romero's idea and runs with it, and I have to honestly say that the remake is far more entertaining, has better cinematography, acting, and is scarier, more thrilling, more intriguing, and pure awesome. I will be buying the DVD as soon as possible. I freaking loved it.

Anyone who likes sci-fi horror movies should watch this movie ASAP. 5 stars. Awesome.

here's a list of programming i think should be seen.

The Host. (the south korean monster movie) already a classic.
The Lost Room (SYFY mini-series about a hotel room sucked out of continuity)
Moon (good dystopian future setting starring Sam Rockwell who puts on oscar worthy performance)
Storm of the Century (Stephen King Mini series from late 90's. one of his best)

Over vacation, I saw Grown Ups, which was really funny. I also saw Toy Story 3, and I loved it! Ken is the best.

"Personal Best" and "The Paper Chase" with Timothy Bottoms and John Houseman

Tonight we watched The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, directed by Terry Gilliam. This was Heath Ledger's last film role before he died. The way Gilliam dealt with the problem of one of his lead actor's deaths is brilliant, and not only did he make the film "in memory of" him, the other actors who stepped in to play his character's different transformations donated all of their wages for working on the film to Ledger's daughter, who was left out of his will because it was an earlier copy and he hadn't had a chance to add her to it. My respect level for Terry Gilliam, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and even Colin Farrell went up considerably. It was a pretty decent movie. Very Terry Gilliam, but set in a way so that the strange things that always happen in his movies actually made sense. I would definitely recommend it to Monty Python fans, fans of anything anachronistic, bizarre, and visually stunning.

Did I mention Tom Waits plays the devil? Awesome.

I loved Miss Potter so much that I had to buy it.
Another great movie is Dawn Anna
I love to watch movies as much as I love to read books.
