ashlle1, 'cause I like it lots.
Am feeling vaguely ADD at the moment, so let's play a game. Simple games. Two movies you love, two movies you hate, and why for all of them. And then chitchat in response to other people.
Me first, and I'm going to use other movies than the ones I picked over there.
HATE:
The last two Matrix movies: Wait, I'm sorry. What am I saying? There were no other Matrix movies. There was just that really good movie with neat special effects and an ending with great potential. And then nothing else. Okay, maybe a video game or two, but that's it.
Moulin Rouge!: I'm not sure I should admit that in public, but, oh, did I hate Moulin Rouge! with a passion. I mean, I loved the visuals and I loved the soundtrack, but together ... my GOD, did they grate on my nerves. Plus, Nicole Kidman -- blech.
LOVE:
Sneakers: Look, it's on USA Network right now! And it's got Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, James Earl Jones and River Phoenix. And look, they're all snarky and mysterious. Wheeeee.
Citizen X: Pretty much one of the best made-for-TV movies I've ever seen HBO put out. I really need to watch that again.
Okay, your turn. :)
EDIT: Dear internal organs, behave or I'm selling you all on the black market.

I feel kind of guilty for loving Last Samurai as much as I do, considering the mass of inaccuracies and general not-so-goodness hanging about the film. But, oh the PRETTY. And it turned a row of us into giggling, squeeing fangirls because live-action Hollywood movie taking place during the Restoration? ZOMG love. <3
