One of my most favouritist (lol) movies is American Beauty... loved the concept of it, was so well shot...
I'm also an uberfan of the LOTR extended editions, Fight Club, Hero, and Girl, Interrupted

They play a ton of indy-films and only like the hugely successful big-screeners. It's kinda cool to see what can happen there. A cool flick that they played was called "Mad Hot Ballroom", it was about teaching New York kids how to dance in order to keep them in school in some backwards way, but it was a good one.

I'm familiar with Bookshelf. I send them posters and promo items from time to time, but I had no idea that it was inside a bookstore. That's a cool concept.

I refuse to watch the original cuts now, if I have the option to watch the extendeds. If you've read the novels and seen the movies, the extended versions just don't leave anything out, it's amazing. ESPECIALLY Return of The King extended.. SO GOOD! I love it.

I loved this movie too! It's such a good movie. I have so many all time fav movies, but a couple that come to mind as classics are Ferris Buillers Day Off and Empire Records. Loved both of these movies so much. I can't even tell you how many tmes I've watch them.

I just watched part of Sin City this weekend. I dunno I thought it was sick. Even though it was done comic style, I just thought that it was too much. Gross! It was a cool concept, but I just lost interest in it. I only watched about an hour of it, then turned it off. My fav movie of the year so far is, A Lot Like Love. This movie is soooooo good. If you haven't seen it, watch it!

I just saw American Beauty not too long ago. I love dark comedy, which was so well done in that movie. I laughed pretty much through the entire movie, even though it was very serious. And the gay dad, I saw it coming, I think you were ment to see it coming, but the end was a very nice twist indeed. I like when movies put something in your face, but still make it hard to figure out. I am still trying to figure out the exact significance of the red door to the house.

I think it has something to do with representing the passionate change that the family has undergone. Basically a door into their new lives.

As for LOTR, the extended versions are way better, not even a comparison. I actually just bought the set(book actually) and started to read them. I am still on The fellowship of the Ring, but its terrific so far, soo much in there, that is not in the movies.

I look like such a nerd on the subway with this huge 1300 page monster of a book, lol.

sin city was awesome! one of the few comic based films that stay true to the style & story.

Apperently its only at select Cole's locations. THe one i went to is at Bay + Wellington, under BCE Place, right down town. The cashier said that its not at all locations.

Its some special edition, with nice print, illustrations, a book marking ribbon, and hard cover. Originally $120, got it for $40+tax. Great deal.
