moooovies.

 director: henry selick

the jist:  girl and her folks move into a creepy pink apartment building, and a scary lady with button eyes tries to steal her.

cari:  loved it!  the 3-d was badass.  and it was super creepy.  i'm gonna have nightmares about the button people.

you should:  watch.  but only in 3-d.  or at least preferably in 3-d.  it's worth the cash.

 director: p.j. hogan

the jist:  pretty lady is obsessed with shopping and it ruins her life, until it all works out.

cari:  cried a little at the end.  it was super adorable.  funny.  and if i married the dude my last name would be dancy!

you should:  definitely watch it if you like chic flicks.

director: ken kwapis

the jist: lots o' lads n ladies lookin for love.

cari: meh. it was ok. i enjoyed watching it for the most part, and vk standing in the back of the theater laughing and scoffing at appropriate times definitely made the experience better. as did the sangria splashes i downed. typical chic flick, nothing fantastic, disappointed in scarlett johansson (as always) - my favorite part was ( spoiler alert! )

you should: maybe watch. not as good as you are expecting, if you love these kind of movies as much as i do.

soundtrack includes talking heads and keane.

 director: pierre morel

the jist: this chic is taken by the sex trade people and her dad flies to paris to track 'em down and get her back.

cari: liam neeson is a badass.  better than james bond even.

you should:  watch it if you like bond-type movies.  but, you know, there is nothing fantastically unique or thought provoking about it.

director: todd haynes (2007)

the jist:  bob dylan.  played by different actors/actresses.

cari: liked it a lot.  it made me fall in love with cate blanchett.  it made me re-fall in love with / want to fuck heath ledger.  it was really good casting - they all do a great job portraying different parts of a complicated and beautiful man.  it was put together in a really cool and unique way too.  

you should: check it out.
