Teh film thread.

I loved Ella Enchanted! Of course, the only time I've ever seen it was at a dingy motel in mid-eastern PA after walking for 24 hours straight and collapsing exhausted. Also, I hadn't had cable in two months and had forgotten what good television could be like. I also thought "The Avengers" was really good too, to show you what state of mind I was in.

Very Happy

I read a book of Ella Enchanted, but never saw the film. Might see if I can dig it out.

I read the book, saw the film, and don't want to see it again... (I wouldn't want to read it again, but not cuz it wasn't good, but cuz I generally don't re-read things unless I really liked them)

Ella Enchanted... was only good for one reason: Her <3

Personally, I thought Stardust was a better movie. I don't know what it is, but the thought of Robert DeNiro playing as a cross-dressing sky pirate just ... enchants me.

In other news: I watched Aladdin recently. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!

I love it ;_;

It has recently become my obsession of fun things.

I even have a gal who told me in an unrelated matter that Jasmine was her childhood heroine.

<3

I've always felt a very close personal connection to Aladdin.

Like he, I was also born into unfortunately austere circumstances.

Like he, I also have amazing hair.

Like he, I also look good in poofy pants and a vest.

Like he, I've also had a monkey since my youth named Abu (though mine is a stuffed animal).

Like he, I've always struggled with my self-value and what others view me as.

Like he, I've also struggled with personal honesty to inflate that value as a result.

Like he, I've always felt as if I was worth more than an initial appraisal would provide.

And like he, I love chicks with a freakin' ripped-out-of-it's-mind tiger.

And I also think flying Carpets are cool.

... And that is Tomato.

XD

Not like you needed a complete evaluation of my life as compared to Aladdin, but It was still stupidly fun Very Happy

Anyone seen Harvey?

It's an old one starring Jimmy Stewart about a guy who's best friend is a 6'3.5" invisble white rabbit named Harvey.

I stink at reviews, but it's funny, you guys seriously have to see it if you haven't already.

Nobody has mentioned the greatness of Pixar?! Pixar is NOT Disney! Toy Story? Finding Nemo? EDNA MODE?! Oops, I mean, the Incredibles?

I can't wait for Wall-E...why can't it be June right now? *weeps*

Speaking of Anne Hathaway, Devil Wears Prada was both nutritious and delicious IMHO...gotta love the moral at the end-get out while you can!

The old Star Wars movies are awesome-I don't agree with the fanbase community that the prequels absolutely sucked, though(minus the obvious let's-get-as-many-of-the-old-chars-in-there-and-screw-plausibilty parts)-I like ANH the least, actually. The Death Star Battle always bored the heck out of me. ESB and ROTJ, though? So good. I want to be the captain of the medical frigate.

I also like Life is Beautiful. You can't beat Life in any way.

Amélie is a beautiful movie, btw.

Harvey? *looks it up* nope... never seen it, I want to now... ^__^
On the line of ToyStory, ChickenRun was also good, and I liked the old StarWars movies, never seen the new ones, no-one has ever made them sound good enough to go and get them from the library.

Chicken Run was so....stupid. *flinches* It was!!

Aladdin scared me as a kid...>.>;; Donno know why...but it did.

but then again, in Homeward Bound, when the kitty fell of the waterfall I'd hide behind a chair and try not to cry, no matter how many times my brothers said she wasn't dead. XD

Chicken Run was funny, and I haven't watched it enough for the jokes to get old, so... for a G rated movie, it was good.
I liked Aladdin, but my sister was obsessed and watched it at least 12 times in one month, so, I guess all I can say is.... I haven't seen it since.
