Stardust - fabulous!

Went to see Stardust on Friday night. What a great movie! It's a fantasy, romance and action film in one. Claire Danes shines as the "Fallen Star", Yvaine. And Ricky Gervais is funny in a small part as a black market fence. Lots of laughs throughout. It's not for young kids, more aimed at some older kids and adults.

A Chinese Ghost Story

I rented the trilogy of movies that started with A Chinese Ghost Story in 1987. Found them at Pic a Flic Video in downtown Victoria, on DVD.

The other movies in the series are A Chinese Ghost Story II, 1990, and A Chinese Ghost Story III, 1991.

I remember seeing the first move at Cinecenta (University of Victoria) around the time it came out.

So far my family and I have started to watch the first movie. The subtitles are hilarious - spocky and scareful, even!

Shut Up and Sing! The Dixie Chicks

I watched Shut Up and Sing last night, a documentary movie about the controversy caused by Dixie Chicks' lead sing Natalie Maines comments about President George Bush in 2003. It tells the story of the band members' lives over the next 2-3 years.

I thought it was a great movie. I like the Chicks' music and admire them for sticking together and standing up to the Bushies' attacks.
