The book was written after the film, though. The film was an original screenplay.

the passion of joan of arc (1928)

listing our top ten got me wanting to watch this.
it's just such an incredible piece of art, all around.

The Seeker (The Dark is Rising)

one of the recent spate of films attempting to cash in on the Harry Potter/Young Adult Fantasy wave.

Based on the book by Susan Cooper..

Competently made with a couple of likeable characters .. it just didn't have the groceries to get out from under the shadow of the bigger more successful films. Very predictable and blah ending.

I didn't dislike it - but i sure didnt think it was great.

the H. Potters still lead the genre, followed by ... oh Spiderwick i guess, then the Golden Compass (for the polar bears and set design only), then The Seeker ... in that order (for me)

as always - in a hurry to make a buck, Hollywood is going to bleed this one dry.

School of Rock.

Sleepers. Good film.

Green Eyed Monster...meh.

Alison's Birthday- 6/10

This is a pretty decent film. I had never heard of it and a friend showed me. Very eerie, campy and cheesy possession film. It has a few scary moments and the concept was freaky, but it's nothing amazing. Either way, if you can find it, recommended. If someone could find it on dvd or burn it for me, I want it.

I would, but you hate me.:rolleyes:

I like how Chow Yun Fat drives this film from start to finish.
