I say unexpectedly because the first I knew we were going out was when the babysitter arrived. I had just put my hair up in an Odango. O_O
Anyway, this was not a movie i'd have chosen to see, but most of the movies I want to see aren't out yet. It was pretty good, I thought, though I admit my expectations were low.
I like Nichole Kidman, I really do. Didn't there used to be more of her?
There were a few scenes that even made me want to take back every bad thing I've ever thought about Sean Penn. Not quite, but it came close. He'd better never get Botox injections, though. If he couldn't wrinkle-up his forehead, his career would be over.
Still, some of the dialogue was clever and fun and believable. The plot sort of burst out in expected ways at the very end, though. Contrived plot twistyness (just a little... the scene with her and the head of state seemed a bit... forced) sort of blew the story away like so much dandylion fluff. But it had some good points about revenge, and the UN building... GAH! who wouldn't gape a bit at the setting?
The Trailers were fun. When they finally gave the title to Cinderelle Man, Ron just giggled and said THAT wasn't what he was expecting. (Renee Zellweger looks like crap with dark hair, BTW.) It was one of those trailers where you really don't need to see the movie if you've seen the trailer, since it gives away the whole plot except for the very end (which you don't care about, since the characters don't mean jack to you after 30 seconds).
War of the Worlds looked good from the teasey trailer. I hadn't seen anything about it before that. Didn't even know it had Tom Cruise. Good Trailer, anyway.

I was crying at the end of the trailer to Cinderella Man. Trailers are always more powerful to me than the actual movie . . . Posts: 231 | Registered: Apr 2005

(No, before anyone says it, I don't watch Sailor Moon. That doesn't mean I don't know what she looks like. Sheesh. )
