Watched "Georgia Rule" last night. Lindsay Lohan goes to Idaho and gives a Mormon a BJ, in a boat.


Well, that's certainly *one* reaction to those door to door preachers. But don't they usually come in pairs?

Bodas de Sangre, minimalist film semi-adaptation, really a flamenco semi-ballet.  Really beautiful in parts.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5JuKHILXww That really caught me off guard, beautiful. 

Also, if anyone can tell the difference between Andalusians and Arabs without the language or the hijab is a genius.

Watching Slapshot for the first time.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Some movie with Simon Pegg and the David Schwimmer about botching a blackmail attempt.  It was crap.

Oh, and Simon could use a few Pilates.

Not a good enough excuse. A real Canadian would have been in a coma or deaf dumb & blind as the only reasons not to have seen Slapshot.

12 Angry Men

I recall someone here making a comment about Languish being like the movie "12 Angry Men," so I felt like I needed to watch it when it was on recently.

I liked it.

Original with H. Fonda?

I was unaware of the TV remake until you posted this.  With that cast, I am astonished that I could have missed it.

However, I cannot imagine that it improved upon the original, and cannot understand what would drive the industry to spend the money they must have spent (given the cast) on a remake.

I guess I can imagine the remake being as good as the original, if that cast performed to their billing.

IIRC it was something that Petersen and Friedkin just wanted to do it.

Josquius

Let the right one in- Rather good Swedish film about a kid who makes friends with the vampire next door. It avoids the ending scene that you can see in your head from really early on though strongly hints at it...can't decide if thats a wise or a bad move.
