Hi Kelsey! Wow.. You watch a lot of movies! i've been meaning to ask you for your recommendation of a great Bollywood movie I'm ashamed to say I've never seen a single Bollywood movie! Many a clip but not a whole movie!
My last non Nic movie was a silent movie, the 1920 John Barrymore version of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
And just to go in an entirely different direction.... one movie I'd really like to see is 'Get Him To The Greek' because I like Russell Brand and sometimes I like to laugh!
I saw Hereafter last night at the theater. Since I am one who truly believes in energy in different forms and on different levels, the movie spoke to me. I would so love to see Nic work with Clint Eastwood sometime. Eastwood has a vision I easily respond to.

I watched The Karate Kid remake a few days ago, kind of sweet and better than I expected, but only because Jackie Chan wa great in it, and it was kind of inspired to set it in China, great scenery.
How funny, I almost watched a Harry Potter movie last might Kels but chose something else. Lady True, this may very shortly be on my list...I love Jackie Chan.
The last movie I watched was I Love You Phillip Morris with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, did alot of both..couldn't help but be very angry with one of the characters very near the end....superb performances from both actors, truly. They deserved the Knighthoods they received for this film. .
Not only is it strange Lady True, but sad and in my view wrong. Because a movie depicts two men in a sexual relationship noone in the US would release it....that's an incredibly sad reflection of a prejudice and doesn't give the audience a chance to make their own decisions...especially because this movie was so critically acclaimed!! I'm not going to say bravo to Europe and Uk for releasing it, because that's how it should be anyway, it's not special treatment, it's just a freaking awesome movie.
With the overruling of prop 8 in California this summer though, they have to release it now. Hopefully before Christmas!
Same sex marriage is legal here in Canada, but our current government is very conservative and would like to change that. Fortunately, they are a minority government. But I assume we didn't have any one to release the movie here either. Canada probably doesn't have the big money companies to do it. Don't really know much about the movie industry so I don't know how these things work, but it always seems to me to come down to money. If they expected to make big bucks with that movie, they would not have cared about backlash. What about the disgusting slasher stuff and horrifying images of women being terrorized, raped and murdered in those. That's okay, and two men having sex is not. If it were two women having sex they would have been all over it. And that is my rant for the day.
Rant away dear Lady True! I could not agree more with what you say! there is some sickening inequality, and inconsistency, in our world. This is just the tip of a very gigantic iceberg. it makes me so angry in this particular instance I could cry.
Here is a review of the movie, (slightly spoilerish so don't look if you want complete surprise) and I'm not sure if it will be restricted in your country but the film trailer is also here and you can rent to watch it online too! http://www.film4.com/reviews/2009/i-love-you-phillip-morris
It is fiction, Kelsey, though I think the author did lots of research into the history of perfumery, or whatever it is called. I found the movie quite disturbing, and I have read that the book is even more so. I thought it was a good movie, even so.
