Upcoming movies

The Nines: Written and directed by John August, he’s written a few scripts for Tim Burton so I feel it’s my duty to see what he’s up to on his own. I don’t know much about the movie; I want to be surprised so I’ll keep it that way.

Disturbia: I saw the trailer and it looked like fun so… There are a few things in the trailer that I liked, I hope I wasn’t fooled. Not a fan of that Shia guy but, I’ll live through it I’m sure.

Oldboy: It’s on top 250 so I have to watch it but I think it looks interesting so hopefully it won’t be one of those movies were you suffer for a 120 minutes.

It’s not on the list?

How the H can it be that “Rebel without a cause” is not on IMDB top 250!? It’s better than Se7en, it’s better than Fight Club, The Matrix, The Usual Suspects and I can go on… What the H?! Anyway, I really like it, they don’t make movies like these anymore. If you haven’t seen it, do it now!

Still a Burton girl

Watched Dark Knight yesterday (it’s on the 250 list) and… I don’t get it, I didn’t get it with Batman Begins and I still don’t understand what is supposed to be so brilliant about these movies… Gary was good and Heath was good but I expected more after all the talk about him.

It’s a wonderful life

Yesterday I missed two movies on the top 250 list, got pretty angry but today I made it to “It’s a wonderful life”, corny but cute. I’ve always wondered what movie it is in “Home alone” that they are all watching in France and now I know.

About top 250

Since that list is changing so much I’ll look at it on midnight tomorrow (well actually today since it’s after midnight) and that list will be the one I’ll go after.

...

It seems like it’s changing far more than I thought it would. Now “Young Frankenstein” is on 249 and yesterday “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” was on 250. But now it’s “Casino Royal” which was number 248 or something yesterday.

(Clifton Webb)

Anyway, saw “Laura” yesterday and I guess it was an okay movie, if it weren’t for Clifton Webb it would have been dull as hell. Vincent Price I didn’t even recognize in the beginning but his voice and the way he speaks gave him away, it’s like he’s always quoting his favorite poem when he speaks.

92/250

Movie 250

I’ve seen “Young Frankenstein” so many times, as a kid I watched all Mel Brooke movies. My favorite is Frau Blücher and when Victor Frankenstein puts the scalpel in his own leg. Oh and Marty Feldman of course, he is my favorite character in that movies (sorry Frau Blücher). I have to watch that again, I only have it on video… bet the quality of that tape is pretty crappy now. When I was a kid I thought this was Frankenstein, the Frankenstein and didn’t understand why it was considered a horror film.
