I love the characters in that book and am so happy that they're coming back in THE SEDUCTION OF A DUKE. But I think THE TROUBLE WITH MOONLIGHT would make the better movie. It's the paranormal element of invisibility and the suspense that I think would appeal to Hollywood.Donna MacMeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310857800824141312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-61686743478494167802009-01-23T23:34:00.000-05:002009-01-23T23:34:00.000-05:00Amy S - I think I read that the Oscar has never be...Amy S - I think I read that the Oscar has never been presented posthumously.

Was it Thurber? (It sounds like a Thurber story). Amazing that they can take a short story and turn it into a full fledged movie. Of course, they did that with Brokeback Mountain, I believe.<BR/><BR/>It is an interesting premise - starting out old and growing younger every day. I wonder if that were the norm if stores would sell wrinkle cream that gives you wrinkles so you'd look younger?

I hadn't heard anything about that movie but the premise sounded depressing - in fact most of the nominated movies (except Slumdog) aren't exactly feel good movies.

Anything doing a good business these days is good news.<BR/><BR/>Rise of the lycans is a dark, dark movie - I'm talking colors here. Lots of dark gloomy interiors (what do you expect? They're vampires!), lots of neck slashing, blood spurting. Michael Sheen had some good shots. I'm not sure I would have liked this movie if it was the first I'd seen in the series, but having seen the other two, this one explained a few things. Now I'll have to rewatch the other two to pull it all together.Donna MacMeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310857800824141312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-46891943341590767012009-01-23T21:13:00.000-05:002009-01-23T21:13:00.000-05:00Ooh Nancy, I am so glad you saw Mrs. Pettigrew.
