yesssss!
Jonathan, now official DF bouncy translator, you are fluffy too! Except for the whole evil losing weight thing. That's not fluffy.

Just saw Pieces of April. Good, great performances by Patricia Clarkson and Oliver Platt. Katie Holmes (I think that's her name) is the lead. Good story.
Jenn, you didn't get Cabaret? Sigh. Although the movie is weak. Saw the revival on Bway about 4 years ago with Alan Cumming. OMIGOD. Changed my life. Dark. Unbelievable.
Mockingbird is also one of my faves.
Did you see Lost in Translation? Very good.
Since I have no plans for Thxgiving and there won't be any dancing (too bad) that day, I'm thinking about catching up on movies. Someone said it on an earlier post: Since I've been dancing, I just don't go to as many movies any more (who wants to sit for two hours when one could be dancing?).
Here's a fun thing: the five movies you'd take to a desert island.
My top five are Godfather 1 and 2 and I'm stuck as always for 3,4 and 5. Candidates include: Some Like It Hot, All About Eve, Bang the Drum Slowly, Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Jesus' Son, Drugstore Cowboy, Born Yesterday, Bells Are Ringing, Deer Hunter, To Kill a Mockingbird, Manchurian Candidate, Kiss of the Spider Woman, French Connection, Bullitt, Philadelphia Story, It Happened One Night, Double Indemnity, Taxi Driver, Wuthering Heights, Duck Soup, Meet Me in St. Louis, Singin' in the Rain, Taps, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Arsenic and Old Lace, Notorious...to name a few. Clearly my desert island better have a video store.
This was fun.

I loved the movie Cabaret!
But I understand how it might pale in comparison the the play. I will say though, it's one of the VERY FEW movie musicals that actually works on film. WestSide Story= BAD on film!
My five movies, hm?
Beauty and the Beast...
and then I'm lost. I mean, there are so many, and considering that I watch a total of about... 14-18 hours of the screen a month... it shows you how often I like to be in front of the screen. I despise television, and won't have a working one in the house, except for the DVD capabilities. I do love movies though!

I agree...I also did NOT get Cabaret.
Just wanted to FYI everyone...there's a new DANCE MOVIE coming out in early Decemeber called Honey. It stars the Dark Angel actress, Jessica Alba. Not sure what it's about, but if it's dance...it's gotta be good!
I'll have to get it added to the movie section of my site!

Just saw "Bug's Life" Friday as I sat home giving my right ankle a break. Pretty good.
Also this is not a movie, but a cable TV series...I saw "Queer Eye for a Straight Guy" yesterday night and the last ten minutes were hilarious. I was rolling around with laughter, and rolled right onto the floor!! LOL.

Let me tell you one movie "NOT" to get . . .
"Boat Trip" with Cuba Gooding. I heard him in an intervue once, saying that he would "never ever make a movie that his kids couldn't watch."
Our 12 year-old picked it out, and because we remembered hearing what Gooding had said in the intervue, agreed it was OK. The box said "Not Rated," which should have told us something.
This movie was bad . . . language, content, and nudity . . . I seriously doubt that his kids would be allowed to watch it.
We turned it off within the first 30 seconds of the movie. I'm no prude, but my son will not be exposed to this stuff. He can make that decision on his own after he turns 18.
