Movies!

[evadne_noel]

It's been a long time since I've done one of these, mostly because a) I haven't had time to see movies, and b) movies have been mostly made of suck recently. If there are any movies not here that you think are going to be good, let me know. If you think any are goint to be real stinkers, seriously, let me know. I don't want to see bad movies.

I will be seeing Pirates, X-Men, Prada, Lady in Water, Cars and most likely Sunshine.

I also haven't read Prada, only because I heard a few negative reviews on it. But now that it is a movie, I will probably at least try to listen to the audiobook before I see the movie, since the preview looked cute.

Yeah, I'm not too excited about this Pixar movie, not just because I'm not a car fanatic, but also I was not thrilled with Incredibles. But I've seen every other Pixar movie so...can't break the streak now!

I haven't heard anything great about Prada, so I'll just maybe see the movie. That way, if it's not that great, I won't have wasted a greater amount of time reading it. But audiobooks are a great compromise, if you must read a source before seeing a movie. Some people absolutely have to do that.

The Car movie preview hasn't moved me at all. I just can't get interested. Even though I love Pixar, I won't see this in theaters. I'll have to rent it someday; I mean, I can't stop loving Pixar all of a sudden.

I read it. It's one of those uttery disposable books that you might steal from your Doctors waiting-room, but wouldn't actually pay for. The end sucked, but with good casting it might turn out watchable.

Is it witty or clever at all?

[mir8lle]

Well...it's a bit hit and miss really. The bits with her best friend and boyfriend made me want to gouge out my own eyes with a rusty spoon, they were that gag-worthy. The bits about her boss on the other hand were occasionally jaw-droppingly funny, and since she'll be played by Meryl Streep, I think it might be worth just renting the movie when it comes out and fast-forwarding to those scenes.

Hmm, thanks for the information. Maybe I'll rent this unless a friend is dying to see it. I love doing these movies lists. The conversations make it much easier to pick and choose what to see in the theater.

I read the book, but I honestly can't remember any of it (except for the Harry Potter part), so I'm going to assume it wasn't very good.

That's usually a sign. Though I'm amused there's a "Harry Potter part."
