I saw Twilight yesterday. The movie is as lame as the book. Good eye-candy, but still very lame. If you didn't read the book, which was lame, you'll definitely not get the movie.

Today I saw Wall-E. LUFFED IT!

Heh. Twilight is aimed squarely at lower-teenage and under girls. My 13 year-old is obsessed with it. My almost-15 year-old is not in the slightest bit interested :sweat:

I heard about it through my students. Apparently the book started off as a fanfic online, and someone read it and decided to publish it. The first 2/3 of the book is poorly written. Even for a fanfic. But then the last 1/3 starts to pick up and is half decent (the plot is, not really the writing).

The movie views like the book is read. I can totally see why my students love the books and love the movie. :)

I have no intention of ever reading it to find out :P but i'm sure my daughter will want the movie on DVD once it's released. If she hasn't lost interest by then ;)

I noticed my niece had the book on her desk: I placed Nodame Cantabile, book #1 on top of it. :mrgreen:

Everyone's gone to see it out of curiosity, that's all... Repeat business and word-of-mouth is what makes a movie a blockbuster and from what I've read, this movie will have neither.

ScarJo & Mickey Rourke Help Raise Iron Curtain

Scarlett Johansson is joining the superhero set.

Her rep confirms that the actress has signed on to play Black Widow in the Iron Man sequel opposite Robert Downey Jr. The deal was signed this afternoon.

"Scarlett is thrilled to be a part of Iron Man," her rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells me.

Meanwhile, after months of negotiations...

The Wrestler's comeback kid, Mickey Rourke, has finally sealed a deal to play villain Whiplash, according to Variety.

Rourke's team had reportedly held out for more money after Marvel's initial offer was just $250,000.

Scheduled for a May 2010 release, part two of the franchise will also include Gwyneth Paltrow returning as Pepper Potts, along with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Don Cheadle playing Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes.

"ScarJo"??

Is anyone else sick of the way they shorten people's names?

Samuel L. Jackson is in everything

It is beyond lame.

I saw a rather lovely Norwegian flick last night about two slightly crazy/retarded men starting a life in the city and out of the institution called "Elling".
It was excellent and uplifting.

saw Slumdog Millionaire. The first time i saw an oscar winning movie that wasn't on the boring side. Eventhough boring or not doesn't speak for the quality. I really like A R Rahman's score too
