Shouldn't compare book to a movie; movie is someone's interpretation of the book, if you have read the book yourself before, you already have in your mind a picture what everything should look like.Bonbon wrote: well......like any other movies, the book is 10 times much better...
it's OK......don't expect too much, feel it's a bit overrated....But Audrey is good...it's werid to see her in an English speaking movie.

Hey, don't you have 'Desperate Housewives' to watch or something?!
that special time between daylight and..

yeah but it's not like he'd be missing anything (here)Mary Hatch Bailey wrote: Besides your just jealous because you won't be able to see a movie in the theatre unil like 2008.

pretty far-fetched stuff, thought some will probably believe it
...and another movie where half the audience laughed at things not funny
glad I got that one out of the way....

well, depends how you mean - if it's the limited choices and then, the censoring (saw a huge scene jump in "Wedding Crashers", I mean, what could have been in that?), then, yeah, seems many of the international movies that are allowed in here are of the Disney-level, middle-of-the-road fare, so that kinda sucksMary Hatch Bailey wrote:C'mom EADG -- the cinema scene is not so bad here is it? I have to say though, it bugs me when they trot out a movie to show in the theatres which I saw on Singapore Airlines a year before. Strange.
