I'm off work today because Ontario has a new Holiday called Family Day (Is it just me or does that name sound offensive to others as well, thanks to the Christian right?) and I'm getting ready to go see a movie, I'm considering:
MICHAEL CLAYTON
UP THE YANGTZE
DIARY OF THE DEAD
PERSEPOLIS
What do you think?

If I had that list, I'd choose Persepolis.

The only one on the list I've seen is Michael Clayton. I liked it a lot.
I've read Persepolis, though, and thought it was good. But you wouldn't catch me going to Diary of the Dead if I were being chased into the theater by zombies.

Well, I was on my way to see PERSEPOLIS but stupidly got the start times confused and got there 10 minutes late. With all the ads and trailers the movie probably hadn't started but I didn't take the chance. So I headed to another theatre just in time for HANNAH MONTANA!
Just kidding, I saw MICHAEL CLAYTON and really enjoyed it. The opening scene just hooks you and reels you in, I was on the edge of seat throughout. I wonder what the people at Monsanto think of it >:( Damn that George Clooney! As soon as I'm finally able to hate him, something like this happens!
Speaking of trailers,I did get a bit of jolt, one of them was for THE DARK KNIGHT and I was NOT expecting it. I'm just glad I was sitting down (in the dark) because my heart just broke into a million pieces. Again! :'(
There was also a more extended trailer for 10,000 BC and I have to admit that I'm quite intrigued. Those woolly mammoths look mighty fine. I'm a sucker for prehistoric movies, I loved QUEST FOR FIRE and 1,000,000 YEARS BC.
Anyway, I thought they were unusual choices to show before a movie like MC.
