[quote name='Marie' post='262556' date='Jun 15 2009, 08:37 PM']I watched Doubt again over the weekend and wow, that movie never ceases to impress me. Meryl Streep continues to blow me away with the sheer power of her presence and the way she commands the screen. It's just ... so riveting to see her and Philip Seymour Hoffman together. Definitely recommended watch for everyone, if you haven't seen it yet. The entire cast is fantastic and it's beautifully directed.[/quote]
I agree, Doubt is great and has been greatly ignored for the most part. I mean, I liked it better than most Best Film nominations at the Oscars — although, let's admit it, the Oscars are dumb. To be honest I'm not a big Meryl Streep fan, but she was really good in this. Same goes for Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. Some amazing acting.
And let's see. I watched Observe and Report, The Hangover and Sunshine Cleaning at the cinema and actually I enjoyed all of them in one way or another. Observe and Report was a weird one, kind of a really dark comedy with a confusing tone at times, I must say. But I love Seth Rogen and he was good, so hey. The Hangover was better than I expected and had some classy lines ("I keep forgetting about the goddamn tiger!"), plus Ed Helms ❤ And I found Sunshine Cleaning to be pretty good, Emily Blunt and Amy Adams were awesome and so pretty and it had some Little Miss Sunshine feeling, which is always good (well, it had the same producers).
Speaking of which, some awesome cinema down town was showing Little Miss Sunshine, so of course we had to go and see it. I don't care if it's a bit overhyped, there's no such thing as watching LMS too many times. Also, Steve Carell with a beard ❤
At home I watched He's Just Not That Into You, which I hated quite a bit and made me want to kill all the characters in it with a brick. Except for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston, surprisingly. And also Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story which was fairly alright although too long IMO.
And yesterday, I rewatched Fight Club for the 78342842394th time. Ten years after, this is still the coolest film ever made. Fact. Also, Edward Norton ❤
