I cried all the wy home, in public on the Toronto subway when I saw "Sophies Choice". I've never talked about the mvie since...I have a self imposed gag order! But I've loosened up about dramas...it helps when you have a girl friend to wtch them with. I usually watch dramas with my friend Anita, she holds my hand heh heh. And we both love discussing acting.<BR/><BR/>I am still thinking about the power of that actress near the end of "The Reader" (are we the only two people who saw that?)<BR/><BR/>I don't prefer the word survivor either. I consider my horrors to be badges of honor!<BR/><BR/>The actress was the magical Lena Olin...how wonderful is she!!!!????Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-29246889751889946542009-02-17T01:35:00.000-05:002009-02-17T01:35:00.000-05:00Richard actually is not overly impressed by Meryl ...Richard actually is not overly impressed by Meryl Streep, but I think Doubt could change his mind. It's on my to-see list. She blew me away in "The Hours". <BR/><BR/>I was also very impressed by the Jewish lady in The Reader, probably because her character was so true to life. Survivors are not the trembling, damaged creatures we imagine. They're pretty damn tough and they don't play around. A residential school survivor I know won't even use the word "survivor", even though she went through some horrendous stuff. If you call her that, she just sniffs and says, "I'm <EM>supposed</EM> to be here."S.M.

I mean, ...It goes without saying I hated Mamma Mia! I mean, wow... One of the worst films I've ever seen. I think the acting was rough and the direction even rougher. In fact, I'm fairly sure the director must actually be a choreographer. Or maybe the choreographer doubled as director, with no previous experience of the latter. Utterly offensive. I wish I'd walked out, actually.* (asterisk)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11969314216753450118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-13554770304418175032009-02-14T00:14:00.000-05:002009-02-14T00:14:00.000-05:00Meryl Streep is just one awesome, sexy, brilliant ...Meryl Streep is just one awesome, sexy, brilliant woman - great actress I think...I loved Mama Mia and Doubt - in fact I love about anything she is in - she is so versatile, so beautiful and so elegant no matter what role she plays - ok, I'm a Meryl Streep fan. MM was not a film I would usually see either, but then I went and saw it twice, it was awesome in the theater.Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-42301813546468548262009-02-13T17:30:00.000-05:002009-02-13T17:30:00.000-05:00These reviews made me want to go out and see each ...These reviews made me want to go out and see each and every one of these movies!!!<BR/><BR/>I second that Sean of the Dead is fantastic, btw :-)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504992439212714138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-30005201263747103432009-02-13T14:58:00.000-05:002009-02-13T14:58:00.000-05:00The Alien and Predator movies are a gas!!!Alien = ...The Alien and Predator movies are a gas!!!<BR/><BR/>Alien = Sigourney Weaver in her prime in tiny knickers (ok so I'm a perv!!)...;-)<BR/><BR/>They are chill out with a beer and switch off movies.<BR/><BR/>If you want a movie to make you laugh and cry try "Run Fat Boy, Run"<BR/><BR/>Trust me.
