High hopes for this one, since they got a new director and a bigger budget. Pattinson should've learned not to over-do it by now, and honestly I'd watch it just to see how Taylor Lautner looks w/ his newly beefed bod ;)

W/ a cast like that, it's bound to be interesting!

I can't say enough about this film. Audrey Tautou's is utterly captivating - each subtle shift in her facial expression conveys a thousand words, making us feel just what she's feeling. The script is delightfully entertaining - exactly the right blend of comedy & romance, with a touch of mystery. And Jean-Pierre Jeunet's use of color in his direction makes each scene jump off the screen. Hands down, this is my favorite movie of all time. I could watch it over and over and never tire of it. Love it, love it, love it! I want to name my future daughter after the title role... ;)

The moment I exited the theater, all I could think about was getting my hands on the soundtrack ASAP. I was able to track down the last copy after hitting a couple mega-stores, and I've had it on repeat ever since. This small-budget ($100,000) film is a brilliantly simple story about an Irish street performer and his newfound immigrant (Czech) friend who helps him record his music. It's a musical that manages to incorporate its songs into each scene without seeming phony or staged (refreshing!) The characters are charmingly flawed - you feel their emotions flow through their songs and you become wrapped up in each note. And you're left wanting more, yet content knowing that the film ends the way it should. What more could you ask for? Besides, you can always go buy the soundtrack and relive each precious scene :)
