Tangled
Heard this may be the last fairy tale movie by Disney? Sadness. Got to watch it on Black Friday. It's a modernized and mish-mashed version of Rapunzel with more warm fuzziness and less thorns and blindness. The singing is still present, though none of the songs really stuck for me. But the visuals were pretty: Rapunzel's locks are so shiny - would ( Read more... ) -
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 1)
Watched the movie on Sunday, managed to avoid most of the crazy crowds. I keep forgetting to mention, due to a certain shocking Twlight-esque scene - but I really liked the animation for the Tale of the Three Brothers. And the scenery for this installment was spectacular; would've liked to have been traveling with the crew filming this ( Read more... ) -
I drink your milkshake!
I feel like all of my entries start like this, but yay, my account didn't get deleted.
Finally watched There Will Be Blood, which I've had from Netflix for half a year. (They must love me.) Great performance by both Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano. Probably need to read the book at some point. Enjoyed the movie, but couldn't tell if Daniel ( Read more... ) -
My Sister's Keeper
They're making My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult into a movie. I had no idea. The book made me sad, but I loved it. Has potential. Hopefully the movie won't just float by me without me knowing about it like some other movies from books that I loved. (Blindness, I'm looking at you.) books, moviesMap your future, choose your time

Sometime summer 2008 I borrowed the last 3 discs of Veronica Mars from the public library. I maxed out the renew limit, and finally took the frail and cracking thinpak back to return. The case was barely holding together, bound pretty much only by a rubber band. No one had it on hold, so I got the clerk to check it back in and out to me again ( Read more... )The Boy with Two Belly Buttons

That was quite good. Why'd it take me so long to watch it? Can finally send my Netflix back after...3 months? Kudos to Prop 8 - The Musical reminding me of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and thus prompting me to watch Serenity. Not sure it makes a great stand-alone movie, but it definitely stood up to my expectations as a Firefly fan. Which of ( Read more... )
