#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
I did and I would have to say that it was her best role so far. In Alex and Emma she just did not 'work' - even the part where she starts crying and says she dropped his manuscript etc. seemed fake.Did you see her in 'Almost Famous'?
Just Great.
It is a shame because the movie was directed by Rob Reiner and most of his stuff is pretty good!
From Wikipedia:
"The film was widely panned by critics; Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 11% positive rating by calling it "a dull and unfunny comedy where the leads fail to generate any sparks." Alex & Emma was a flop, grossing just over US$15 million at the box office".
It's a shame - I wanted to like this movie but I couldn't.

I'm glad you liked it, Blunt. I rewatched some of Must Like Dogs again last night (with Diane Lane) - still good even on a rewatch.
I never saw her in anything else after Almost Famous.
Three Days Of The Condor (1975) Robert Redford - Faye Dunaway
The other half of the cheap two-fer blu-ray I bought that also had All The President's Men.
This is a good conspiracy thriller with one major flaw. Was it really necessary for the kidnap victim to fall in love with her captor? It was so forced and unrealistic (but Hollywood must have a love story in every single freaking movie). Take that aspect out of this flick and it's pretty good. I was surprised that Hal Holbrook wasn't in this movie. I thought he was in every 70s conspiracy movie made.

At the ComiCon I went to last, the Star Trek panel agreed that Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie (lol).

Saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens last night.
Pretty good little indie sci-fi flick.

Watched Good Will Hunting on Netflix last night. I've seen this movie at least six times. Don't think I was ready for a Robin Williams movie yet.
Remembered this while watching Good Will Hunting last night and thought I would post it. A bittersweet scene - three people in this clip have passed on (Robin Williams, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau).
On a brighter note, even though Damon and Affleck have had great success in Hollywood, I wonder if they've ever been happier in their careers than they were here...

On Tv last night- one of the prequels of Star Trek- Into the Darkness
I remember seeing those! Liked 'em both. Didn't think either one were amazing. I remember the Faye Dunaway character getting indignant about the use of the phrase "intelligence community." I think.

1975 was the year that Redford and Dunaway were the 'It' people, so they were cast in this film and the romantic storyline was thrown in so that the world could see these two most beautiful people make out.
I watched a mockumentary called What We Do in the Shadows, about a film crew that is granted permission to record four vampires living in a house together. It started off slow but turned out to be hilarious, and even some of the scenes would've been legitimately scary had it not been a comedy.
I would highly recommend this film to anyone that's a fan of vampires or Flight of the Concords. It's written, directed, and starring Jemaine Clement, and Rhys Darby (Murray) makes a couple of appearances.
