Anne Hathaway - Havoc Love and Other Drugs

I'd watch her read the telephone book

I just watched Love and Other Drugs yesterday. Good god is Hathaway insanely hot in that film.

I also watched Middle Men, a story about a guy who is the CEO of a credit card payment company for pictures sites in the dot com boom. Even though it's a fictionalized account of a jackass who funded the movie completely, that doesn't take away from the fact it's an insanely good film. Luke Wilson is lead. Apparently it was an indy film, bought up... It tested incredibly well, and then had a spectacular box office failure. I can only guess it's because the synopsis, a CEO of a credit card payment company for pictures sites, sounds as boring as hell, but it is a top notch film.

I also finally got around to watch The Passion of Joan of Arc, 1927, a few days ago. I'm fairly into silent films, so since that's not many folks cup of tea, probably better left alone. But it was a truly masterful film. Both the direction, using camera angles and techniques that are still somewhat revolutionary, to the insane acting of Falconetti as Joan, to the fact the director demanded no make up be used, in a silent film when they usually caked it on... It was one of the best, most moving films I've ever seen. I'd put off watching it despite my interest in silents since people said it was either the most boring film you'll ever watch or the best, and I cannot understand the former. If ever the opportunity arises, watch it.

How the hell did they make Chris Evans look so small. It looked so awkward. Anyway, this movie looks so god damn good.

Eh. It was better than Twelve but still blew pretty hard. I'll give you the plot in a short version.

They go back to Vegas to rob Pacino after Sal was threatened by him or some crap. Pacino is also a rival to Terry Benedict. They plan on robbing some nice ass jewelry from Pacino. They get Benedict to help them out to "swindle" Pacino into buying their stuff. The french crook from Twelve was hired by Benedict to get the jewelry instead. The gang tricks both and flies away from Pacinos helipad with the jewelry case underneath the helicopter... All of this after some man made earthquake happened to gain them entry to safes or something or other.

I enjoyed them but plot wise, both sequels were already screwed following one.

If you took the movies for what they were, a group of actors who are friends getting together to have a good time and make a few passable movies... then they're perfectly enjoyable.

It was fun in Eleven. They took it too far in Twelve.

Well yeah. I mean its cool that way. I enjoyed watching them. I'm just saying the second and third were off from the first. The first had such a cool plot.

I have.

It starts off slow, but pretty good; very cerebral and gritty. Then, they introduce a very forced antagonist and devolves in to a silly slasher/thriller debacle. Great special effects though.
