Why do screenwriters feel the compulsive need to take a television show, rewrite it for the big screen and then totally change the premise of the story????? The reason the show is a hit is because of all the things you changed, you pretentious freak of nature!!!! This from a writer *shrug*
I enjoyed HP but I agree it left a lot out. And talk about rooting for the bad guy, I had to literally bite my tongue to keep from squealing with delight at Helena Bonham Carter's electro-shock hair.
I liked 1408 but hated the ending. I have to go back and re-read the story because I don't remember hating the ending that badly.
I'm half tempted to check out I Know Who Killed Me because it looks like it has potential for a decent mind f**k although I have little faith in Lohan's ability to pull off such a feat.
As for those movies we can't wait for in the upcoming months....
SWEENEY TODD!!! (kind of a big fan of HBC, me thinks)
Rob Zombie's Halloween weeeeeee
Fred Claus looks pretty freaking hilarious and definitely qualifies as mindless entertainment.
Pathology (because it was totally creepy how I had just finished telling someone I wanted to see Milo Ventimiglia in a serious thriller and then not ten minutes later I'm cruising around Rotten Tomatoes and BOOM there's Milo in a serious thriller due out November 27...now there's something to be thankful for *giggle*)
And that about sums it up.
