Just saw Amélie and man... I so love this movie. I've now attached Amélie's personality to Audrey Tautou and am in complete love with her--she's so wonderful (and damn adorable). *.*

The ending was also <<looovely with "La Valse d'Amélie" playing as Amélie and Nino went on that bikeride. Ah... so great. x3>> One of the greatest movie soundtracks, ever.<3
Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day.

Fantastic 4 - 6/10 :down:
It had some strong points, especially towards the end but the whole movie was almost too light! I'll might expand on this later as this really is a mixed bag for me.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events: Carrey was just being Carrey. Aside from creating a cool disguise for Count Olaf, he didn't add anything extrodanary or original. It's the kids that are excellent in this movie. The kids that play Sunny and Violet were great in this movie. They really made me feel sorry for these characters. And the baby was funny! :lol: I also liked the score and the Tim Burton-like style to it. Overall it does drags at points, but I overall enjoyed it. 7/10

Fantastic Four: A fun movie. It was shockingly short.(1 hour and 15 minutes!) But I still liked it. Most of the acting was good and the story was fun. 8/10

That's funny because I went to some theater in Santa Barbara and the theater said the movie was showing every 1 and 20 minutes or somethings like that. In fact even I thought it was pretty short. But when I went on the internet to prove you wrong, all the places on the internet I found said it was 2 hours and 3 minutes long. I guess I saw a different movie or something. :lol: Or maybe the film had alot of credits at the end.

Fantastic four

Booooring!
I expected something beter, and the action scene of the end, very short.

I don´t recommend it, unless you don´t have anything better to do

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I liked it alot, very different from Willy Wonka and should not be compared to it. Like Tim Burton said, It's not a remake it's more based on the book, which I think was a good direction to go.

Really? Kind of a reverse effect on me... :P

Got home a few days ago and have gone movie crazy:

Fantastic Four
A fun, cheesy, 106 minute romp (just to prove you both wrong, I timed it :D ). Ioan Gruffuad, Jessica Alba and Julian McMahon were somewhat weak, but Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis steal the show.

7 1/2/10

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Willy Wonka! Willy Wonka! The amazing chocolatier! Johnny Depp is hilarious, the sets are a visual treat and Burton's quirkiness is in overdrive. Great film the whole family will enjoy.

9/10

Bad News Bears

Dragged by girlfriend to this... actually pretty good. Billy Bob Thornton's a hoot with these kids, though it is a little too raunchy for it's target 8-13 audience. Still very funny.

7 1/2/10

The Island

Trippy sci-fi flick that combines Logan's Run, Minority Report and A.I. It took a while for it to grow on me, but it's pretty good. Excellent effects.

8/10
Cheers,

The Iron Giant

Definitely the best animated film since Mulan. You could even argue that it's the best since The Lion King.

I watched Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (the new Family Guy movie) and Million Dollar Baby last night.


I liked the Family Guy movie better.

We watched White Noise over the weekend. It was a little different but we enjoyed it.
