MGM got their finances back together enough to start another Bond film, shooting to start later this year.

So we can see Daniel Craig get his junk on.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

He wears that teensy speck of fabric well.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

He's at the beach. Maybe he found some crabs?

(my humor meter is a bit broken today)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Don't we all have body parts which are in a constant state of anarchy? I think he's just trying to bring them back under control.

[Lori]

He's got quite a handful....

[ms.petra]

that made my day!

[RandomAnthony]

Thanks for the Dinner With Schmucks warning. My finger was hovering over the movie at Redbox...

I'm about halfway through The Social Network. I'm digging it big time. I want to track down Trent Reznor's score, too...very cool.

[Brittomart]

I liked the Social Network, although I didn't want to like it because it kept getting compared to Citizen Kane. IT is NOT as good as Citizen Kane

Invictus was pretty good. But, I love Rugby, so...

[Sarah]

Amelia! How's it going? There's a new rugby movie coming out but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

There you are! I was starting to wonder if you'd fallen off a cliff ... phew."

I'm here, just been lazy and reading a lot.

[Cynthia]

Amelia is back in town!

[image error]

there are of course some changes compared to the book, but i'd say they only improved the story, and slimmed it down where needed. the film also doesn't have stieg larsson's writing, which is a good thing.

Here, Amelia:
It looks kind of awful.

http://www.playonthemovie.com/
Starring:
Adam Gray-Hayward, Chard Hayward
Directed By:
David Story
Plot Outline:
There's the road less traveled. There's the road to redemption. And somewhere in between is a one-way ticket to Kansas City for wayward Scottish rugby star Keir Kilgour.

Even at the highest level, rugby didn't pay players until the mid-1990s; it held on to the amateur ideal longer than any other sport. And now, the greedy but talented Keir and his old-school father, rugby legend Finlay Kilgour, find themselves stranded on opposite sides of that ideal. When Keir’s drive for fame and money collides with his quest for love and respect from his critical father, things get ugly. Following an appalling act of selfishness, Keir flees his rugby background in a delusional pursuit of greater stardom in the high-profile world of professional American football.

When the bubble of his rash, big money dream bursts, Keir -- demoralized, broke, but too proud to return home -- stumbles upon an unlikely group of saviors, the Kansas City Wanderers. A failing second division rugby club, the Wanderers are a motley collection of weekend warriors who are amateurs in the worst sense of the word.

As the Wanderers can attest, everyone does stupid things. But, it's not always what you do that matters. It's what you do next.

[RandomAnthony]

I saw both The Social Network, which I mentioned as half-watching before, and The Town, while home the last couple of days. The first was absolutely excellent and the second was good, too. Blake Lively hit the double-bonus in the latter with 1) acting well, and 2) being hot, although young enough to make me feel pervy.

[RandomAnthony]

I saw Black Swan today. Holy bejesus.

[Carol]

Natalie Portman is receiving the best actress award right now.

[Félix]

Right now?

[Carol]

it's over now. go back in your time machine to 8:56 EST

[Félix]

I lost the key.

[Carol]

just put some coffee grounds in the flux capacitor

[Félix]

just throw some coffee on the ground and flush the bastards?

[Carol]

sure, Larry. as long as you're going 88mph when the lightning strikes.

I went to see True Grit and it was everything Jackie said in #3028 and then some! I was delighted to see Matt Damon. For some reason, I did not know he was in the movie. Kudos to the casting director. I give it 4.5 out of 5!

[ms.petra]

Jim Carrey as Black Swan...this is hilarious...almost better than the movie!

[Sally, la reina]

I liked Matt Damon in that very much. I was pleasantly surprised to see him hold his own with the Dude.

[ms.petra]

film festival movie night for me. two French selections.
LET IT RAIN is a comedy about a successful feminist author who returns home after her mother's death and gets wrangled into becoming the subject of a documentary being made by a childhood friend. there are many tangled relationships between family, friends, and lovers. reminded me of a smart Woody Allen kind of movie.
SKIRT DAY was intense. it was about a teacher in tough, racially and religiously charged environment who confiscates a gun from a student and just snaps. Isabelle Adjani is wonderful as the teacher holding her classroom hostage because it is the only way she feels she can get their attention. but it is also about motivation and what drives people to act/act out the way they do. teacher, student, principal, police.... the movie is powerful.

Sally wrote: "I liked Matt Damon in that very much. I was pleasantly surprised to see him hold his own with the Dude."

I think Matt Damon can usually hold his own. He's a good actor. Also, Natalie Portman's real laugh makes me uncomfortable, if that was her real laugh during her acceptance speech.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Matt's a good actor, and versatile. Did you see The Informant, Sally? He was perfectly nerdy and weird in that one.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Me, too, Barb! I loved the goofy tone of the movie, with the 70's fashions and hair. And yet, as farcical as it was, it was all true!

[Sarah]

I loved the Informant too.

Zu rented Dinner for Schmucks and Knight & Day, neither of which I had actually wanted to see. If I say that Dinner for Schmucks was slightly less bad than I expected, know that this should not be construed as praise.

Also, watching Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on Blu-Ray is not recommended. You can see every pancaked pore. AWFUL movie. I still don't know why "& Day" was part of the title, since the Knight connection was also dubious. I would feel much better about it if you told me it was supposed to be a Chuck-style spoof of spy thrillers.

[Sally, la reina]

I watched one of the worst movies in the world last night: Bad Lieutenant Port of Call: New Orleans. Ewwww. Nic Cage as a strung out drug addled cop in NO after Katrina. God it was awful. So much evil misogynistic talk.

[Sarah]

That looked awful, Sally. Nic Cage is bad enough, but Nick Cage in a needless non-sequel sequel?

We watched some pretty awful movies this week. Cyrus, which was very uncomfortable. Anchorman, which was funny but also awful. The best of the bunch was actually Going the Distance, with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. It was pretty cute and pretty funny, and they had good chemistry and made sense together. I'm kind of sick of "two people who hate each other are thrown together and somehow come to love each other" stories, so it was refreshing to have a rom-com with a fairly believable premise.

[ms.petra]

3.14, I watched Cyrus last week and it WAS strange.

[Sally, la reina]

I'm about to watch a German film I got from the library: The Counterfeiters. I have hope.

Also, has anyone seen or liked any Brazilian books/films lately? I liked Roberto Bolano's Savage Detectives this year and a movie about Rio: City of God, my last Oscar-season library rental. That was my favorite movie of 2010, by far. We watched that a few nights in a row, right after Leah was born.

[Mary]

I stayed up late last night and watched a movie called "Frozen". It had people I've never heard of in it and the acting, at least in the beginning, was typical B-movie fair, but the plot got intense pretty quickly and the pretty boy was first to die, gruesomely, which is always pleasing to me. I wouldn't have paid $$ to see it in the theatre but it was a very satisfactory Netflix rental.

[Sally, la reina]

Was that the one where they get trapped on a ski lift?

I like the way Mary thinks.

Sally wrote: "Was that the one where they get trapped on a ski lift?"

Yep. It kind of reminded me of "Open Water", only with wolves instead of sharks.

[Sally, la reina]

I couldn't/wouldn't watch that. Too scary.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Being trapped on a ski lift sounds pretty scary. Even more so if one is naked. Remember that guy who got stuck upside down on the ski lift with his pants down? I really hope he won his lawsuit.

[Aynge]

Just saw Hellboy 2. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Very funny, great special effects, too.

Now I want to see Hellboy 1.

[Sarah]

I liked Hellboy 2 better than Hellboy 1, but they were both good.

[Sally, la reina]

I've watched Kick Ass three times in the past two days. Four times total over the last week.

I just watched The Interpreter and liked it better than I expected.

SP, Six Nations Cup starts in three days! :)

I liked the Interpreter too.

I'm more excited about Super 15 but I'll watch the Six Nations too, to see which European team thinks they might have a chance at wresting the World Cup from the southern hemisphere teams.
