The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Superhero movie for the literary lovers . . .
OK, first of all, to defend the movie against the first comment, Dorian and Mina had met before their first scene together; they had a past relationship . . . obviously . . . (scoff).
I loved this movie. Sure the CGI's were obvious and the fight scenes may have been over-the-top, but come on! It is a movie full of these wonderful protagonists that all have defining qualities that add something special and intriguing to the group.
Stuart Townsend, um could he have been anymore Lestat? Funny seeing his character act that way and play opposite a vampire.
Connery was his usual brilliant self. The Tragic Hero.
Shane West was great. Could have lived without his character, but West perfected it.
Captain Nemo and Hyde/Jekyl were brilliant! Without their brains the whole group would have been in serious trouble. Hyde would be the Reluctant Hero here.
And Mr. Invisible man himself was freaky enough for the freaky lot of them. I loved his character. He had you guessing from the beginning. Where is he? Who is he? Anyway, I know this movie received bad ratings, but I totally fell in love with it and its characters. I know there is room for a sequel, but don't think there will be one . . . sigh . . . but alas, I will always have this one.
Makes me want to go read all the books involved in this brilliant compilation of great classics.
Love Actually (2003)
I Love this movie
I would have to say this is the best Romantic comedy I have seen to date. Ever since I went to see it in theaters, I have been in love with it. I particularly love the storyline concerning Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. I just felt so sorry for her. I also am particularly fond of Juliet and Mark. Mark was so helpless. I felt for him. Colin was a total trip and so were the stand-ins. They were adorable. Hugh Grant, Colin Firth--hilarious. I felt so sorry for Laura Linney's character too. Her character was the one I admired the most. She sacrifices so much. Oh my gosh. OK it was just too hard to choose one story as a favorite. The soundtrack is absolutely fantastical! The cast is first rate and I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Totally recommend it for couples to watch together. It will make you cry, and laugh all in the same scene. Beautiful, beautiful . . .
