Let's see, for new movies this year, I enjoyed Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix and Hot Fuzz. We've been catching a lot of stuff from Netfilx this year too. I'm also re-watching The House of Eliott series from Netflix. It used to be on PBS (via the BBC) in the early 90s. That's where Evie's name comes from. I am thoroughly enjoying it. I didn't remember it well and I don't think I caught all three seasons, so I'm having fun with that! What about you? Charl's Chat Central

He didn't educate them for anything and then he made poor investment choices so they were at a loss for what to do. Eventually they end up opening a fashion house. It's kind of a soap opera. It's set in 1920's England. I love it! They did three seasons and I'm halfway through Season 2. I heard they chopped the end of the first book of the Golden Compass series. I don't remember why exactly (though I did read why), but I do think they did it partially to build up for the next one, as you said.

I am still highly annoyed at the ending ie curse yadda yadda. Yes, I'm that lame that I get that emotionally invested in fictional characters but Spoiler [+] the fact that Wil and Elizabeth get one day every ten years--while he lives forever, never aging, and she grows older and his children grow up without him--that just makes something in me weep just typing it now. Also, Golden Compass was gorgeous visually but I'm very, very upset that they changed the ending to a happy one. Spoiler [+] Lyra takes Roger up to her father at the north pole because the Alethiometer tells her that she's 'bringing him exactly what he needs'--she thinks the Compass. But he needs to sever a child from its daemon to power a machine that can take him to another world--ie kill the child. Lyra shows up with Roger and her father shoves her to one side and kills the little boy. Book one ends. I cannot tell you how utterly annoyed I was that they didn't have that in there....

It starts with a fourteen year old Russian girl giving birth to a little girl and dying, and the only clue the midwife has to find out who the girl is is a diary written in Russian. And that leads her to the head of this crime family--Viggo Mortenson is a driver for the crime family. He is utterly riveting in this movie. The movie is extremely violent and graphic in a few places but the underlying story and performances are well worth a few moments of peeking through your fingers. And yes, four minutes straight of Viggo fighting off two guys in a steambath. Nude. And you don't even notice because it is THAT intense. (Viggo is up for a Golden Globe for this one)

I also didn't like that their story didn't have a happier ending. That would have been a more fitting fate for Jack. Do you think they'll make another? Maybe they'll fix things in the 4th one, if they do. Viggo seems to choose some unusual roles. The movie sounds intense!

The best part was the Goofy cartoon before it. "How to set up a Home Theater". Catch it if you can!!!

Spoiler [+] The writers said on their boards that there was a possibilty of him being freed after 10 years, a scene that indicated that possibility had been cut from the movie. That said, the new DVD packaging has a FAQ section and it says flat out that he has the job forever. Just read my Livejournal, already
