This is a dream.
Then it is a good dream

You know, I give a lot of movies a break. I'm easy to please. If I find something I like or really intruiges me in a movie and the rest of it doesn't fall flat on it's face then I'm happy, I had a good time. But then I go and watch really good movies and feel like a bit of a chump.

I watched the special extended edition of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers tonight. I remember it being good, but seriously, this puts things like the matrix movies and star wars prequels to shame. Granted, Peter Jackson gets to work with an amazing piece of fiction. But his big screen translation is spectacular. After watching this I am fully intending to watch the extended editions of Fellowship and Two Towers during their one week runs at the Cinerama. And I can't wait to see Return of the King in just less then a month.

I also watched Whale Rider on Sunday which lived up to its billing as a wonderful family story. There's a great story in there, and I like seeing movies that encourage girls to break stereotypes and feel like they're at least equal (if not superior) to their boy counterparts.

Still want more?
