I was starting to feel like a mutant! ;D<BR/><BR/>I totally teared up at The Notebook (oddly, that was another of Richard's picks). I wanted to get it for my grandparents for Christmas that year 'cause it reminded me so much of them, but Mom beat me to it. :PS.M.

You'd risk offending...well, everybody.<BR/><BR/>The performances were fine. I like Smith and Dawson quite a lot, actually. There must just be something wrong with me, though...I mean, every Canadian in the audience was sniffling. Mind you, I don't like "It's a Wonderful Life", either. That kid starts yammering about angels and I just wanna scream. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just a bastard. But in my own defense, I do like "Meet John Doe" and "Steel Magnolias". I'm not a hopeless case, yet. ;)S.M.

Mind you with the baby around the corner I think movies will be miles away from my mind. <BR/><BR/>I did like the Prestige, it was a strong story, it was so surprising that I still think of this movie out of the blue and we watched it almost two years ago.La Cremierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257854632199202600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10120139.post-79611546893400119172008-12-28T00:36:00.000-07:002008-12-28T00:36:00.000-07:00the title refers to Shylocks demand for a "pound o...the title refers to Shylocks demand for a "pound of flesh" in Shakespear's "Merchant Of Venice" In this case, seven pounds to atone for the seven deaths he caused.<BR/><BR/>I thought the movie was excellent. A story of the redemptive power of love. And all three of the main characters (Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, and Woody Harrelson) gave terrific perfomances. And I got all teary eyed when Emily (Dawson) and Ezra (Harrelson) meet at the end of the movie! <BR/><BR/>It must have been a feel good movie, because both my date and I went home feeling good. And several people have seen it on my recommendation, and were really impressed with it.<BR/><BR/>sigh.. it must be that famous Canadian cynicism has rubbed off on you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10120139.post-51094251940004848232008-12-27T21:03:00.000-07:002008-12-27T21:03:00.000-07:00I'm leaning towards that one.
