[…] movie was horrible people doing horrible things to each other, which is exactly what I said in my review of Crash. And don’t even get me started on Christian Slater. What was with that Jack Nicholson […]

ugh. The Other Boleyn SUCKED. Seriously, NOTHING like the book.
If you want some scandal, read the book. Natalie Portman looked like crap too. Total disappointment.

I loved Crash and I loved TransAmerica, too.

I don’t know if I would like The Other Boleyn Girl, because I’m watching The Tudors. It’s very soap-y, but they said this next season they’re going to get into more bloodshed, yay!

What? You hated Crash? Would alcohol have helped? It may have figured prominently in my experience of it. But I actually didn’t think about it as being a film about race, but more a film about how connected we all are to one another in ways that are often unexpected yet strangely profound. That other people influence our lives in ways we aren’t even always aware of.

*ahem* That’s my “deep” version, anyway, and I’m sticking to it!

Yay I’m so glad I’m not the only person who absolutely hated the overwrought “Crash”. It was so trite and tried to make everything racist, it was so annoying. I also absolutely loved “Enchanted” it was so charming and cute and fun. Right now, all those pretentious imdb movie snobs are moaning.

The Ugly Betty necklace actually came form anne Boelyn. I loved all three movies actually, the Other Boelyn girl was great. I love The Tudors but this was excelent for what it was and I agree with you that it felt like this lead into Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Hmmm…I feel left out.

I’ve not seen Enchanted yet, but will rent it soon just because of all the good reviews so far.

I had no desire to see Crash and now I am certain my eyes will never feast on it’s apparently awfulness.

However, I would like to see The Other Boleyn Girl though. I wasn’t a fan of The Tudors and couldn’t make it past the 3rd episode. Buta movie with Eric Bana…yeh, it’s definitely worth watching right there.

Totally agree about contrived Crash and I did really like Enchanted a bunch, bought the silly thing actually. I loved The Tudors, Johnathan Rhys Myers gets my girly bits all a-tingle, and stuff. But will watch The Other Bolyn Girl soon, so thanks for that tip:-)

I was a little frightened by the Enchanted review. What is next…A Hannah Montana concert?

As for the Boleyn movie, they totally cut out all the good stuff from the book.
