This line form a anonymous online reviewer expresses my feeling better than i could myself:

"Seeing a Shyamalan has become this horrifically abusive relationship where I desperately cling to the belief that if I keep loving him, he'll stop hitting me."

ROFL. Now that you mention it, it has felt that way since The Village.

You're right, girlfriend. I need to start respecting myself.

Becoming Jane-2007

I missed the first 20 minutes. And I fell asleep before the end. I don't watch many movies.

You have to REALLY be into Jane Austin - interested in her life as much as her writing - to like this one.  It's sweet - but slow and gentle - I imagine in imitation of Jane herself. If any movie was going to put me to sleep , even though i was enjoying it - it would be this one.

Yeah...

Before the end of the weekend, I hope to catch Notes on a Scandal   with Kate Blanchette and Dame Judi Dench. I love those two actresses.

I saw it - I loved it - and agree on the actresses, particularly Dame Judi - who plays a wonderfully evil old bitch in this - yet one DOES feel sorry for her . . .

For a student - who last I knew was not studying FILM - you sure watch a lot of movies!

(Yes, that is envy you hear  :P   )

I was so intrigued, and then so...not interested whatsoever. It happened about mid-film. I've never felt that way about a movie before. The momentum just...BOOM! Then nothing but filler. Meh.

The word "Mimzy" is what totally turned me off of wanting to see the movie.

Not so much.  Don't hate him by any means, but was just never drawn to his stuff.  Maybe when I grow up I give him a try but for now, no Mimzys for the double-trey.

Alien is the best of the series!

The Village-- 2004

First time I saw it (in the theater) I spent a lot of the time looking for a friend's daughter - who was one of the "extras"  (One of the children playing).  Turns out she ended up on the cutting room floor.

           The girl or the film of her playing? <duck>
