Saw "Mission: Impossible 3" this weekend. It was good. Not my type of movie, but I am a fan of JJ Abrams (creator of Lost and Alias), and this movie was SO Alias. The first scene is straight out of the first scene of the first ever Alias episode. OK, in Alias the hostage was a molar, but still.... Then the tech guy, better than Marshall, a little like a comedic version of 24's Chloe. Keri Russell (of Abrams's "Felicity") makes a really cool agent, and she looks so much better with straight blond hair. I think everyone wanted more of her. And Maggie Q has a much bigger part than I imagined. Ai... but the plot twists were pretty easy to predict... much easier than Alias and Lost HAHAHA. BTW, Abrams's "What About Brian" got cancelled and will show its "finale" this week. Hope he doesn't turn into David E. Kelly.
The best part about M:I3 is coming home and reading Harry Knowles's review. I love that he loves movies so much.
Movie pass movies...
Shopgirl: funny, depressing, great clothes, Jason Schwartzman, many aspects just like "Amelie"--the colors, Claire Danes's character, the narration, some cinematography. I recommend this movie to V.Li.
Being John Malkovich: hadn't seen this so had to. Wacky. Can't help comparing it to Kaufman's other movies and liking the other ones better.
Capote: good and didn't seem long at all. No way Hoffman could've lost the Oscar.
