Can't recommend Amelia - probably will see a bad review from Arch Campbell soon - he didn't seem too pleased after the movie either. Probably should have gone with the soap opera approach it looks like they wanted originally - they originally wanted Virginia Madsen to play her husband's ex-wife - probably originally wanted a female version of "Aviator," but I guess they decided to clean it up and just focus on the boring flying :-). A couple of nice emotional scenes, but that was it. Oh well - at least I'm looking forward to Astro Boy and Avatar :-).

New Movies

Saw an advanced screening for Two Lovers - and loved it. Thought it was a nice, well-written, gritty NYC romantic drama - and kept you guessing til the end how it was going to turn out - and then even there, it pulled a nice twist at the end. Would recommend it for anyone who likes a romantic drama where everything is not a smooth ride. And, of course, can't wait to check out Watchmen tomorrow night - pretty much the ultimate movie event of the last 2 centuries! Also, discovered a nice new website for comic-book movie news via MTV; http://splashpage.mtv.com/; and includes a nice new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine - should be great when it comes out in 2 months.
