A week of movies
May. 27th, 2006 04:27 pmOceans 12: I showed it to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
savetheolives for the first time.
The Godfather: Best. Movie. Ever. Undeserving of an R rating. I'm confused as to how that happened.
Elizabethtown: Many thanks topansyprincess for bringing this one to our attention. It was wonderful, quite out of the ordinary chick-flick box.
What's Up Doc: A movie this good will even make me put up with Barbra Streisand.
A la Folie...Pas du Tout (He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not): This one was great, even in subtitles. It might be an obvious twist, but I didn't see it coming. Watch with an open mind. =)
The Da Vinci Code: And here's where the fun starts, althoughsavetheolives recaped it well and so I will mention only two items:
-the archivist in me stood up screaming (with laugher or with horror, I'm not sure which) when the stash of documents from the time of Christ was revealed...haphazardly piled in a damp basement with nary a sign of acid-free anything.
-and Tom Hank's best line was when he exclaimed wildly, "I have to get a library! NOW!" The moment was then ruined as they proceeded use a cell phone with internet access to solve their riddle instead.
It was a silly movie. But I'm not sorry to have seen it. One thing I hate is people who talk negatively about books/movies they've never seen/read. Now I can talk to you about The Da VInci Code.
