Not a lot of people liked the Cell. I did. And it was scary. Tarsem Singh is back with a new movie. And it looks visually cool. The story is probably not bad either.
Wow! This is actually a true story. During the second world war, the Nazis decided to flood the UK with counterfeit money, to destabilize its economy. They recruited Salomon Sorowitsch, a master forger, from the concentration camps to help them.
Not long ago, an Egyptian police band arrived in Israel, to play at the Arab Cultural Center. But they took the wrong bus.
I saw this movie tonight. It was incredible. It was quiet, slow, beautiful -- and out-loud-laughing funny. Knowing the resentment between Arabs and Jews, this film begs for them to just look at each other, and see themselves for who they are -- the same people. It was brilliant. You shouldn't miss it.

I saw the movie tonight, with my youngest. We had supper at Mucho Burrito, then caught the film on Imax. It was a pretty good movie. The effects weren't too bad, and Freddy Highmore was excellent, playing the two brothers in the movie. This one is worth watching in the theatres.

I saw the Happening on June 13th -- opening day -- with the crew from work. The Happening was not happening -- not for me -- and not for most in the theatre. The movie was fine, it had a good pace, and demonstrated that when weird shit happens in America, most of the dumb people come out to play. It is a testament to how not happening this movie was, that M. Night Shyamalan skipped his usual cameo appearance. The movie kept promising that something was going to happen. Not just the weirdness of people going zombie before playing the sacrificial lamb for the audience -- but more. There was supposed to be more. At the end, the truth behind the weirdness was going to be revealed. But it wasn't. That's because we were already told that the trees were making people kill themselves at the very beginning of the movie. That's it. I really went to the movie with high expectations from Shyamalan. I was disappointed. If you haven't seen it, wait for the DVD release.

You go to Brampton by the 407. That's why it doesn't take you that long.
Cause they have Indian food there.
Not because your parents live there?
