Hey, I judge no one. When I was younger, Men in Black scared the crap out of me, and that movie wasn't even "so good and scary" but "hey, crappy exploding alien freaks me out."

Oddly though, both starred Tommy Lee Jones. Maybe we're just scared of him?

Or just scared of people with three names.

ALSO!
Is anyone else completely excited for Be Kind Rewind? I mean, the movie looks good already, but Michel Gondry redid his own trailer in the same DIY feel of the movies redone in... the movie.
Yeah,

Hey there. I'm Amanda from Canada. Haven't been on the board lately. Thought I would start up again. Here are a few of my picks.

1. Cloverfield
2. Gone Baby Gone
3. Celebrity Rehab (not a movie but if you haven't yet, check it out)

I saw Be Kind Rewind last night, and I can understand why people might not be all for it, but I honestly thought it was pretty fucking awesome, if for nothing else than the fact that Michel Gondry puts things together in this incredible magical way. The sets, the aesthetics, are all fantastic.

His effects are so dream-like, it makes you wonder if, when he dreams, if he dreams about normal things like sitting around and reading the newspaper or going to buy milk.

Go Go Go! It's worth it.

P.S.
How awesome was it that Marion Cotillard won Best Actress at the Oscars? Answer: so awesome. "La Vie En Rose" was super depressing, but she was absolutely amazing as Edith Piaf.

Also: "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." I think I'm going to go see it tonight; it looks great and all, but really I just like saying the director's name. SCHNAAAABEL.

Update: Holy shit is "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" good.

Dear Julian Schnabel,
I'm sorry for ever making fun of your name. You can direct a pretty awesome movie, a kind of movie that makes me want to direct movies. A kind of movie that makes me cry, my mouth unfortunately full of the movie theater's locally-made "Magic Movie Bar." So good and sad and funny.
Sincerely,
Me

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard Jim Sturgess was in it
seriously, as lame as it is, that's really the only reason I'm considering watching it at all.
