Ocean's 11

Watched it from a purely technical standpoint. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Perfectly shot (Sodebergh did it himself again), perfect style, pace, timing, cast (with the exception of Roberts, although it would have been hard to cast Tess period. Such a boring character.)

My only cry of dismay is that final sequence "Three to six months Later". It oesn't need to be there and shouldn't. It undoes the perfectly executed finality of the fountain scene. I really don't know what Stevie was doing with that final sequence. It was excess baggage, fat.

Apart from that, great film.

Oh yeah, it is Rose Red. Oops...I had it backwards...didn't notice it until spud's post, and then this one. Anyhoo...
I don't think it's very scary. It has it's moments, but c'mon...this is T.V. There's a little thing called censorship. I'd love to see what King would do to this story if there were no limitations. I don't know, it feels like a watered down version of that one with Catherine Zeta Jones...

What, The Haunted with Liam Neeson and Owen Wilson, too? I didn't like that flick. Had it's moments...but not many of them. The House on Haunted Hill was more tongue-in-cheek, I think, and much scarier.

I posted it backwards as well ....... mistakes happen.

Uh-huh. I agree. The Haunting was too tame. That's what this Rose Red, reminds me of...it's like you think something really scary is going to happen...and nothing does.
The House on Haunted Hill, was disturbing. I've said it before...I hate those sped up images...freaks me out.

I have to correct you people on titles today. It's The HAUNTING.

National Lampoon's Vacation

Of course they freak you out -- that's why it's GOOD. And yeah, my bad on the title. Mark this one on your calendar, Spudman.

Actually, Sadie corrected you first, but I didn't see that til after I posted mine.

Yeah, Ha-Ha...I got T first! Spud's too busy trying to be a know-it-all, that he failed to see the real genius already got the right answer.

Saw Brotherhood of the Wolf two days ago. Abso-freaking-loutely loved it. Saw it again that night, and CANNOT wait to see it again on Friday. One of my new favorites, why cannot America make movies like this?
