So, I saw this movie today while the kids were at school. Besides the irritation every now of then of the screen going out (I got it through "On Demand") it was okay. It wasn't the best romantic-comedy ever, but it wasn't the worse. I could have done without---the sex scenes of Daneel's character. Actually, it's not the scene itself but the fact that she is topless. I think they could have done the same scene without showing the skin. There's actually a couple of those scenes, and even the guys look pretty much naked. Seriously, if they had done them a little more tastefully, the movie could have probably had a lower rating. I'm not a prude by any means, but I will admit to being a little uncomfortable watching them. The other two female characters' storylines were good, I thought, and they kept me interested. Jensen was adorable, but I didn't like that he had to change his appearance in the end (but he did look hot, and so so cute when he came in all nervous). I really enjoyed his performance.---
(blacked out for spoilers--I don't know who's seen it and who hasn't and if you'd want to be spoiled or not)

I hate it when it's tacky... Bummer. On the JA note. I did decide to go out maybe tomorrow night and pick up My Bloody Valentine... I'm very curious to the alternate ending.

Oh, you saw it! Lucky you!!! Yor, you have to tell us about that alternate ending (not that I've even seen the original ending, nor will I anytime soon, as it seems, but I'm still curious )

Yeah...if you can get over those couple of scenes, I think it's a cute movie. A little predictable, but enjoyable.
not that I've even seen the original ending,
I still haven't seen it, either. I may see if I can rent it.

I had hoped to watch it in cinema. It finally started airing in Germany this week, but our cinema doesn't show it So I guess it'll be DVD for me as well.

I've read what the alternate ending is online...
*** The killer was the character played by Kerr Smith ***

I don't... That's a complete cheat to the movie... That's wrong.

It's a horror movie. It kinda fits that you can just exchange the killer with whoever you want.

I disagree. It's one of the reasons I bought this movie. It's actually a good movie, because the ending made it so. To believe what he went through would cause him the stress and NOT take the cheap way out.
Now, Friday the 13th, that's the cheap, standard issue horror movie. I'm not sure I'll buy that one. I don't think I'd ever watch it again. It's just slash and gore with not plot. This one at least you can watch and look for the hints and signs and see it evolve and appreciate Jensen's acting because of the ending. That's why it is bad to me to completely change the killer.

If I ever get to see the movie, I hope I can agree with you on this.

Wow, I'm starting to seriouly consider buying MBV. I saw it at the store yesterday, but Shawn just rolled his eyes at me. But reading what you say about it, Yor, has really got my interest.

Well, it's not gladiator, don't get me wrong... BUT, as horror movies go, the ending did satisfy me as it was. I didn't feel like they took the cheap, predictable way out. It surprised me, and I appreciated that.
Rent it for sure!
