Holiday movies to watch
This is what I am going to be watching on the big screen this Christmas season.
Munich (by Steven Spielberg, Eric Bana is a Best Actor possibility)
Capote (gotta see Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance)
Mrs. Henderson Presents (Judi Dench has already got a Golden Globe nod for this)
The Family Stone (don't see many comedies, but this one looks fun)
Rumor has it... (this one too), and
Memoirs of a Geisha (Just so you know for future reference, foreign films really aren't my thing. I can count on less than one hand the ones I actually like. With some embarrassment I must draw your attention to the fact that the only foreign film listed below in my Top 20 was made by Hitler.)
Other possibilities
Wolf Creek (A horror movie in the Australian Outback and based on, of course, a true story), Brokeback Mountain (I don't really want to see this, but I probably should), and
The Producers (This was a definite until I read this, and this, and this, and...you get the idea. My favourite comment from these reviews is in the Boston Globe, which compares Nathan Lane's performance to "an assault with a deadly ham".) :-)
Movies to see again
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (On IMAX!!!)
King Kong (Because, duh!)
and maybe Pride & Prejudice (because it was just soooo good!)
