Samatha was my favourite character and the reason I saw SATC.

From what I read, Carrie having a baby it's her central story.

I saw "An Education". A very good, sober movie, with simple but strong performances but not a brilliant movie. Carey Mulligan did a good job. thumbsup
It was so great to see Emma Thompson! And a brief moment with Sally Hawkins at the end.
It irked me a bit to see that was the women's world in the 60's, so limited.

Agora.  smile  Rachel Weisz is super as always.  It's one of her best performance, I think.  
I wasn't expecting to like this movie this much but I did. Very interesting perspective about three things:
1. How religion kills science.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Very schocking, of you think about it!
2. How religious (or ideologics) wars started because intolerance and eager for power is as old as our planet... sad
3. The intepretation of sacred writings (as the Bible, Alcoran,...) are incredible (and dangerously) subjective...

Rachel Weisz was beautiful and strong!
Brothers
The original, not the American version. What a powerful, heartbreaking film. I can't imagine that the remake could surpass it. Probably the saddest last lines in film history.
icon_iagree And Tobey maguire was SO good! I was suprised by how much I loved his performance!

I like Miranda best, because even though she has some "issues" and is rather catty sometimes, at least she does not define herself through her partner like the other three do in their respective ways (even Samantha, although admittedly she has very different standards than, say, Charlotte wink ).

icon_iagree  I agree with every word.  thumbsup

Films I have seen lately:

Rebecca - I know many say they don't like this movie, but I freakin LOVED it!  drool love love  I was riveted every second and thought Joan Fontaine was fabulous!  Classic Alfred Hitchcock directing which established him as one, if not THE, most stylistic auteurs in cinema history!  A haunting tale and an ending I wasn't expecting at all.  That housekeeper was one of the creepiest characters on screen that I've seen!  Eesh!  *shivers*  I also loved the backstory about the relationship between Hitchcock & Selznick.  5/5 stars in my books.  A classic in every sense of the word. 

Born to Be Bad - I've been on a Cary Grant kick lately & this film is so-so.  The film was only an hour long but it managed to convey a lot in that little amount of time.  Cary was his typical, dapper self although not one of his stronger characters, in literal character and in spirit.  Loretta Young is perfectly despicable, hardly an ounce of humanity under all that self absorption, and even when she makes a selfless decision to allow her son to remain in the care of Grant & his dutiful wife I still wanted to strangle her.  emo  Anyway, glad I saw it, don't think I'll be seeing it again anytime soon.  2/5 stars. 

Through a Glass Darkly - Said to be Director Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece and the first part of a trilogy on faith, this takes us through one woman's struggle to come to terms with her mental illness (schizophrenia) and connect with her family who are struggling themselves with how to properly deal with it.  Anderson who plays Karin is extraordinary!  She gives such a complex, dark, and tortured performance it stayed with me long after the credits rolled.  And it was really cool to see Max Von Sydow as a younger man and such an imposing presence on screen! (he's SO tall!!!)  I can't wait to see him in Robin Hood.  woo  Anyway, I give this film a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it for those patient enough for subtitles who are given a haunting glimpse into a tortured mind and its endless search for understanding, meaning and belonging.  Here's a gobsmackingly brilliant review I could only dream of writing:

Yes, I would love to read the novel!  Although, I heard that Hitchcock was never faithful in his adaptations of novels, especially this one.  That was one of the huge differences between Selznick & Hitchcock.  Selznick was passionate about strictly adhering to the events and characters of the novel while Hitchcock used the basic story as framework, but embellished how he saw fit to create his own unique story.  Interesting stuff.  nod

I like Rebecca. It took me a couple of years to get to like it though. emo

I watched Zabriskie Point and I loved it. A perfect example of the 60s generation and their powerlessness against the system and fucking society! emo

(Believe it or not, Zabriskie Point was released in my country two weeks ago tongue)

And I watched All That I Love, the movie which will never get the amount of praise it deserves only because it is Polish. The movie is about the 80s in Poland, censorship, also in rock music which, at that time, tried to fight the system, but they never really had a chance to win. tragic I am simplyfying a lot. o_0

My parents didn't want to watch it because of how Christians were portrayed.  God!  I can't believe my them sometimes.  icon_banghead

Rachel Weisz is my desktop wallpaper because of Agora. love
