So I've realized that people have actually commented on this within the past few months, and now that I have a little bit more time on my hands have decided to start writing again. I haven't stopped watching movies (obviously), but I think this time around I'm really going to take the time to refine what it is I want out of this site.

I could not resist. I've haven't posted in a while, because, frankly I haven't been to see any movies (I'm in the Czech Republic after all- half the time I'm too lazy to look up the theatres that play movies in English). However, I went to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter, and I believe that warrants a blog post.

I'm out of the country until December, which means that the posts will be fewer, since I have yet to find time to go to a movie theatre or look up what's playing.

I had no idea what to expect from this, but I can see now why it's pretty much the most talked about movie of the summer. It was so different than any movie I had seen in such a long time. The idea of combining a graphic novel and video game and making it into a movie was like.... it was....
... a breath of fresh air.

I got a couple of heated responses, which I enjoy, because what’s the point of blogging about movies if everyone always agrees? After this one, I’m definitely hoping to get more (although someone on my side is always pleasant). So let’s reiterate:

Before I actually go into my review of this film, I want to take the time to share a little something I found on the internet:
It pretty much sums up my feelings about Inception (except in a much cuter way that I could express)- it's an enormous, two and a half hour mind fuck.

Given Hollywood's current state of panicky mass remake mode that they've been in for the past, oh, maybe, twenty years, I decided to scour the books for the originals and remakes that go head to head (and also hope to spark heated arguments). I realize that there seems to be a usual trend of a remake butchering the amazingly done original, but every once in a while you find a gem of a film Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03459878974052134210noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718665019874291268.post-52176215959923375532010-07-08T21:09:00.003-05:002010-07-08T21:11:36.068-05:00The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2010)sb_post_date = ""; sb_categories = ","; sb_url_to_rate = ""; sb_rated_title = ""; sb_when_to_load = "immediate"; try { var sb_dp = Date.parse(sb_post_date + ' ' + ""); sb_rated_creation = isNaN(sb_dp)? new Date() : new Date(sb_dp); } catch (e) { sb_rated_creation = new Date(); }

And no, I don't mean scenes where you get up in the middle of the movie to go to the bathroom because you know it will be boring.
The bathroom is something that has always been pretty taboo in Hollywood. Unless characters are using it to have sex, no one really goes in there, but every once in a while you find a gem of a movie in which the bathroom is exploited to its full potential.

I have a question for all you lovely bloggers out there: if the Oscars have been traditionally career-stunting in the past (Halle Berry and Kate Winslet, anyone?), what is someone like Sandra Bullock, who didn't really have a stellar acting career to begin with, to do?
