PN Movie Reviews
Corpse Bride
This is normally not my kind of film, but I love anything that is creative and Tim Burton doesn't ooze creativity, he is a virtual firehose of creativity. The film also featured the voice of Johnny Depp and who doesn't like Johnny Depp? I used to watch him on 21 Jump Street and I thought every single member of that show was the coolest - especially Richard Grieco - I wanted to be Richard Grieco... but back to the Corpse...
This movie is disturbing at first, and the idea of corpses living and breathing and singing - well, let's just say that is not normally my cup of tea, but this particular cup was sweetened with a large sugary lump of love that made it quite pleasing to the palate. It's a musical, it's a dramedy, it's a love story. I actually give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Flight Plan
I thought this movie was going to be like Panic Room in the sky, boy was I wrong! Jodie Foster is a mother and her maternal instincts kick into full gear when she wakes up to find her daughter missing. There are a few plot stretches, but man, this movie blew me away. I was totally confused and on the edge of my seat the entire time. It is 10 times better than Panic Room.
Let me know if you've seen either and tell me what you thought, I MUST know.
One more thang, I am about to head over to Costco to get a Churro, I'll post a pic if I get some! Yeah!

Never saw either of them, but thanks for the heads up Eddo!
Enjoy your churro!
Brian and I saw Flight Plan (which I've called Panic Room every time and almost just typed Panic Room) on Friday. I liked it, I thought it had enough twists and turns. Not a favorite, but it was worth seeing.
She makes the same face as she does on Panic Room, maybe that's why I keep calling it the wrong name.
I really want to see "Flight Plan"
Ooohhh I want to see Flight Plan, looks worth the two hours or so.
Not quite sure about Corpse Bride. Looks interesting but not a must see.
Ok my word thing on my comment was
chkpi - like chicka pa, from Nell staring Jodie Foster, what are the CHANCES?
I saw Nell, but it was a long time ago, so I'm missing the meaning of the comment.
Rats. (and mice)
i've seen neither, but really want to see flight plan. especially since so many flight attendants are up in arms about it.
what does that phrase mean, anyways? how do you get up in an arm?
The human head weighs 8 pounds?
My mom's coming, i gotta go to bed
I would just like to say that "Nick" from So you think you can dance was the winner. He was my pick from DAY ONE..
I have skillz
(did i just admit that i have skillz picking out good male dancers???)
oh, another thing...
see you tomorrow
wow eddo, your COMMENTS made me laugh so hard today.
"Nah when in da tay"
I apologize if that means something horrible in another language...
I loved 21 jump street too...I wish there were some reruns...
Eddo I've seen Panic Room and Flightplan also. Something about Jodie Foster is weird though, like the way she talks. Oh well. I liked Panic Room, but I think Flightplan was better. Worth going to see.
I haven't seen Corpse Bride, but maybe I will rent it someday. Looks kinda weird! lol
If I wasn't spending all weekend in a Yurt I would go see both. But since I am, I'll let you know next week once I've seen them.
Hope you enjoyed the Churro. Have fun with Sporre this weekend.
I haven't seen either film. We wait for the DVD, but it for $18 or so, then watch it fifty times.
I don't like Johnny Depp... Can't stand him... ever since Edward Scissor Hands... and Powder.
Can't.Stand.Him.
Kinda like pepsi... if I have a choice of pepsi or nothing... I will take nothing ever time.
I echo my hubbster....Can't stand Johnny Depp!
Good thing I didn't marry you eddo. I'd be stuck watching Johnny Depp Movies. I can change what Professional football team I support for the sake of love. When we married I supported the Minnesota Vikes... But have been reformed to a Packer Backer..... But change to like Johnny Depp..... NEVER!
OMG funny that you mentioned Richard Greico, they just fugged him at http://www.gofugyourself.com
I must warn you that the picture you are about to see will have you instantly on your knees praying for his soul lol

On another note, Panic Room was really good and I agree it was much better than Panic Room. I liked the twists fo sho!

I haven't seen them yet, but I think I will now. I'm with Ben and Sydney on the Jonny Depp thing (with exception to Pirates of the Carrabian - I actaully liked him in that)... and Katie is waaaay funny with her Chicka pa-ing.
Awesome! I was wondering about both movies. Since you and I usually see eye-to-eye I'm going this weekend to see both.
