Picked up the Rent DVD this weekend! YAY. Is it possible to love it even more on second viewing? Cause I totally do. My only problem with the movie was the lack of Benny and the DVD totally fixes that. The deleted scenes include a few with Benny, in particular one where he and Roger talk about Mimi. This scene redeems Benny in my eyes and I wish they had left it in because the movie ends without really showing us his good side. They also included the deleted performances of Halloween and Goodbye Love (*sniff* I thought this was great, especially the parts between Mark and Roger).
I also watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and March of the Penguins. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t understand the hype for either movie. Charlie had its moments (some funny and some… not so funny) but mostly I thought it was strange. And I didn’t like Willy Wonka’s flashbacks to his childhood. At all. And then, March of the Penguins. I was kinda bored. And I just don’t understand why the penguins don’t evolve so their breeding ground is closer to the water. :/
Anyway, we just got Just Like Heaven from Netflix. I’m looking forward to a fun and fluffy romantic comedy. Plus, Reese!
you need to see just like heaven. i really love it. it was one of that movies that i really love this year.
I really enjoyed Just Like Heaven! A lot more than I thought I would. Mark Ruffalo is just too cute.
I have to watch the deleted scenes for Rent still. Haven’t had time yet.
Going tomorrow to pick up Walk the Line, Lady and the Tramp, and Pride and Prejudice. That about blows my DVD budget for the next… while, but I still have to get GOF.
I think it is possible to love Rent even more the second time around. After watching all of the deleted scenes, I wish they would’ve left them in the movie or at least have given us a director’s cut with them in. Goodbye Love was so good and it even after Chris Colombus described why it was left out, I still think it should’ve been in and would’ve fit without confusing us viewers.
I can’t comment on Rent, as I haven’t seen the movie yet, but as far as March of the Penguins — which I watched last weekend myself on dvd — from what I understand the penguins are farther inland so that the babies don’t fall into the water before they are ready and/or the ice doesn’t become too thin and they all fall in. Just thought I’d add my 2 cents for what it’s worth.
I haven’t seen any of those movies lol. I’m not a musical fan so RENT is out of the picture for me and March of the Penguins will just make me sad, I know it. Just Like Heaven seems cute, but I’m not sure I want to see it since she’s dead and there’s no way out of that one lol.
