I watched “A Knight’s Tale” last night – Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon were really cute together but they sure couldn’t save the movie. I got really bored cause the storyline was so darn predictable. ::yawn:: The jousting and tournament scenes were really cool, though, if not completely violent and cringe-worthy. ::shudders:: I *still* can’t believe jousting was ever acceptable. The use of contemporary music was also a neat effect – too bad I found myself giggling when “We Will, We Will Rock You…” (yes, I’m pathetic. I don’t know the actual name of the song) came on. Hee.

I am now a huge Moulin Rouge fan. I just bought the DVD over the weekend and I finally got the chance to watch it today — and I just fell in love with the movie. I saw it in the theatre last June but I didn’t connect with the emotions the way I did today. ::sigh:: What a great movie — I have the soundtrack on repeat now. 😀 How wonderful life is now you’re in the world…

So I went to see the new Josh Hartnett movie last Friday (“40 Days and 40 Nights”) — it was a lot better than I expected. It was pretty funny, if even a bit corny and a LOT raunchy. But whatever… it’s Josh Hartnett baby! 😀

On Saturday night, Rob and I rented “O,” which I found to be a really amazing movie. Sure it’s violent and disturbing and scary, but I think it says a lot about the power of manipulation and the control that jealousy has over people. Julia Stiles, Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett (again!) were phenomenal in their roles — JH especially. His character was a sharp contrast from the “nice guy” roles he’s done in the past. It’s not a movie that you’d want to see over and over again but it’s definitely worth at least one viewing.
