I had mixed reactions to it, but there were a lot of interesting ideas. I heard about 'Moon', it looks worth seeing.<br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-44923983987765810852010-04-20T08:22:40.783-04:002010-04-20T08:22:40.783-04:00David -

I wasn't sure if we'd seen Adam, but I checked it online, and it's too new - we saw another romantic comedy about a man with Asperger's (can't remember its title!) - also very good. Congratulations on your new blog - I will check it out!<br /><br />Toni -<br />I felt the same way. I could tell just from the preview that Mostly Martha was probably a better movie. I hate to feed into foreign stereotypes of the US, but I do think that when Hollywood remakes a foreign film, it loses its subtlety! Thanks for the recommendation - I;ll add An Education to my list.<br /><br />Chris - <br />Wow, a movie in the theater! That's rare for us. Sorry it gave you a headache. The others sound good - I'll have to look into them.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-26431693446997990992010-04-20T07:40:11.723-04:002010-04-20T07:40:11.723-04:00My list for this week: JFK, Dead Man Running, Basi...My list for this week: JFK, Dead Man Running, Basic Instinct, Running The Sahara and The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. Oh, and I even went to the cinema to see Clash Of The Titans 3D. It was good and I enjoyed it but it gave me a blinding headache. Not as many as usual because there has been lots of football on the telly!GlasgowChris78https://www.blogger.com/profile/00398456413827939057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-64182463457964086272010-04-19T19:37:44.340-04:002010-04-19T19:37:44.340-04:00I liked Infamous too.

But then your observations about Death at a Funeral and Mostly Martha are along the same lines. I agree that the British Death at a Funeral was hilarious. What I've read is that the new one has the same basic plot but with the jokes changed to fit the setting which I think is Los Angeles. If I recall, Mostly Martha was in German but it may have been in Italian. I remember being disappointed in No Reservations even though I liked the actors because it wasn't as subtle or nuanced as Mostly Martha. At the time I thought that had I seen it before seeing Mostly Martha, I would have enjoyed it.<br /><br />I recommend An Education which just came out on DVD. Carey Mulligan was nominated for Best Actress and deservedly so. I was fascinated by the movie because at the end, I felt empathy for all of the characters, even those who hadn't always behaved well.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729837575450453607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-3496161416916506082010-04-19T19:21:17.588-04:002010-04-19T19:21:17.588-04:00P.S. - Sue, I was so inspiredby your blog that I d...P.S. - Sue, I was so inspiredby your blog that I decided to create my own.

I feel like almost everything since has been filler, and have mostly given up on it. <br /><br />I have seen some really good movies recently -- "Man on Wire", a documentary about a Frenchman who tight-wire-walked between the tops of the World Trade Center towers; (500) Days of Summer, one of the most fun and inventive comedies in years (it was such a hit that the director has now been hired to do the next in the Spiderman franchise); "Adam", about a young man with Asperger's trying to make it in the "real" world; and "Moon", a great indie sci-fi flick about a man alone on the moon for several months. Seen any of those, Sue?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778342601996392913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-49430963543643590362010-04-19T18:16:49.235-04:002010-04-19T18:16:49.235-04:00Renee -

Anything on after 10, we tape and watch later, too!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-91733099761597899542010-04-19T16:37:00.879-04:002010-04-19T16:37:00.879-04:00Joel and I keep saying we are going to rent a movi...Joel and I keep saying we are going to rent a movie...and then we are too tired to think about watching one for 2 hrs so we don't! I did watch Under The Tuscan Sun again this Sat. I love that movie! Joel rented me Mamma Mia during the second week of my surgery...it would have been better if it was NOT a musical....lots better. Strange, but beautiful scenery.<br />Joel and I tape any shows that are on at 9pm that we like and watch them other nights...At 9pm we are BOTH heading upstairs most nights! Is that cuz we ae old...or sick? HmmmmReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.com
