So I just got back from seeing Fright Night! I was supposed to wait until my friend got back from vacation, but I totally succumbed to peer pressure. Uh, that is if you can can call the internet peer pressure. I braved Times Square for it, even. And I really despise Times Square.

( here be movie spoilers )

CG and I went to see Deathly Hallows, which was surprisingly great! (needed more Alan Rickman though, and what was up with that H/Hr fantasy porn? Not complaining, it was just...odd.) However, one of the highlights of the experience was an audience moment ( Read more... )

So we were watching a Thai pirate ninja fantasy movie, which was actually quite fun, even if it did have too many subplots and was a little convoluted. And there ended up being a cute inventor and a princess character I really liked who got to wear armor and hit people over the head with rocks.

The second movie was Neil Gainman's MirrorMask, which was supposed to be a heir to Labyrinth, but gakked more from the NeverEnding Story. Decasia was overlong by about 20 ( Read more... )

Sin City was as I thought it would be. The cinematography is gorgeous. Orgasmically gorgeous. Breathlessly gorgeous. I always appreciate how Robert Rodriguez keeps stuffing more and more wild things into his movies with no cares whatsoever for what is appropriate or typical. Messy or not, it's always fun. It's been so long since I was carded at the ( Read more... )
