Did you read the book? I was blown away by how perfectly DiCaprio and Winslet captured the Wheelers. This movie didn't get the attention it deserved, based on their performances.Quote:

AJane, do you remember what her character's first name was in RR? It stumped me the other night. Thanks
Oh, I want to see The Reader...I read the book after Revolutionary Road.Quote:

I hadn't read either book, but I thought both movies were way above average.
Doubt, from a DVD from the library. Usually I prefer comedies, but I try to watch the Oscar nominees. This film was extraordinary, so strong in every way. Love Meryl Streep!
Well it wasn't today, but on Saturday my stepdaughter and I went to see "Fame", based on the 80's television program. It was fairly good, I love to see the kids grow in their chosen art - singing, dancing, playing an instrument. And Debbie Allen played the head of the school, she was the dance teacher in the t.v. version. It also boasts a great supporting cast with Kelsey Grammar, Megan Mullvaley(sp) (pill popping Karen from Will and Grace), Charles Dutton, Bebe Neuwirth. (I kept waiting for Grammar and Neuwirth to have a scene together so I could see her call him Frasier in that slighly condescending way her character Lilith used to do on Cheers - but alas, no shared scenes!) All these folks have mad talent! :bowdown
To be honest, although we both thought the overall movie was good, it was a little disjointed with some random musical/solo parts thrown in. I kind of feel the best parts were shown in the previews over the last month or so. And stepdaughter and I were the ONLY two in the theater at a 4:30 showing, so that would appear to be an "uh oh" for the success of the film.
THe film is actually based on the original film that was in theaters - I think back in the 80's. The original was excellent and a classic.Quote:

I was going to look up some more info, would you just give me the highlights (or lowlights, if it isn't all that great)? Thanks...:)Quote:
