Movie-ing my BRAINS out.

Saw TWO movies today!



Legend of Zorro was effing AWESOME!! I LOVED IT! It's not going to win any Oscars but it had me on the edge of my seat a couple of times and I was all into it, uber-kiddy like, clutching my face and bouncing in my chair. His little kid was SO FUCKING CUTE!! Oh, and I love their accents! Antonio kept cracking me up, I swear, every time he plays Daddy a puppy gets its wings. It's the sexiest thing he does in the movies! And CTZ? Oh darling, do you ever not look abso-fucking-lutely perfect? The woman pwns me with her breathtaking beauty. Over and over and over. *happy sigh* Over all - a great friggin' flick. Oh and the bit where the peasants husband gets shot? FUCK. That was acted *really* well! Actually made me all sad!

Shaolin Soccer is as nutty and bizarre as Kung Fu Hustle... and it actually had me laughing so hard I couldn't breath. It was the bit where he was playing against the gangster soccer team for the first time, and the joke about it being like war... oh man. Him hiding behind his team mate was one thing. Him going across the field on his elbows - that's pretty funny too. But no - Stephen takes the joke and pushes it and pushes it and I was crying and clutching my sides, fighting for breath cause it kept getting funnier and funnier. And his movies always have really gorgeously cute love stories in them. I LOVE those!! And him running around shirtless? Nacey crack. Fer real. I just can NOT get enough of that shit. Want to see more movies with him in it. :)


My Mum doesn't know the difference between Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster. I know the difference. I can't stand Helen Hunt and I LOVE Jodie Foster. Gah. What an annoying mix-up.

Movies on my to see list:

- Memoirs of a Geisha
- The DaVinci Code (Just cause I like seeing Ian McKellan act)
- The Producers (Will wait till it's on video or on the net. I LOVE UMA but ... eh. How could Matthew Broderick POSSIBLY follow Gene Wilder's act? It's tricky).
- Brokeback Mountain (DUH).

Ooh! Ooh! The Producers is FUUUUN. I saw it by accident. Well, because it was the only thing on and I was bored. I had NO idea what it was to be about, but I LOVED it! :D

Goooo Shaolin Soccer it is awesomeness extreme.

I know! Fuck I couldn't stop giggling!

I've seen Shaolin Soccer on cable and I thought it was lots of fun so I'm glad that you had such a great time watching it too. I haven't seen Legend of Zorro yet, but I will look out for it!

I've heard good reviews of The Producers. Somebody else on my FL saw it - and didn't know that what's playing in the movies is actually a remake. She's 16, so I can excuse her on that one ;-) She likes Gene Wilder, though, so I recommended the original version to her to rent, as a special version DVD has just come out over here in the States. I think she'll like it a lot!

Oh yeah. "Now I'm HYSTERICAL! AND WET!"

Actually, with The Producers, I'd be more worried about Nathan Lane following Zero Mostel's act - though he seems to enjoy doing that. And I have to wonder why I haven't heard about Gene Wilder being upset about this remake when the original is a classic, and he was so upset about Charlie.

As for me, I'd like to see Kong, but I'll probably wait for video, Narnia (video), Rumor Has It (despite being a Friends movie, I love Mark Ruffalo). I think that's it for now. I think it may be another slow movie year - but worse than last year as no Star Wars or HP to brighten it up.

Well, I never really cared about the story of King Kong, or Narnia. But I do love Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas, so I thought I'd see Zorro. :)

I hope you enjoy the movies when you see them!

[mags0522.livejournal.com]

You too! Catherine Zeta-Jones is awesome, so I hear ya there.

I still haven't read Narnia. I'm a bad sci-fi geek!

I haven't seen Legend of Zorro yet, but I love Shaolin Soccer :D I was given a copy on DVD as a Christmas present, which seemed kind of random and strange and out-of-the-blue, but then I watched it and thought "Huh. You know my movie taste better than I do." Hilarious.

I'm looking forward to the same movies you listed, except that I didn't even know they were making a DaVinci Code film. Huh. But if it has Sir Ian in it I suspect I shall have to go and see it anyway :)

He was narrating. That's what made me want to see it. The sound of his voice. I thought, "That's my favourite old fruit, I know it!" And then he was on screen and I squeed and I thought, "Ooh, full of good actors!" :) It has Alfred Molina, JEAN RENO, oh man, am I there.

Jean Reno is so inexplicably hot.

I really wanna see Shaolin Soccer. I just saw Kung Fu Hustle, it was awesome, really random. I loved the screaming/smoking lady and the whole thing with the lollipop. Hurray!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Oh - DO see it, it's wonderful! And Stephen Chow is SO HOT IN IT!
