127 hours

must viewing to remind you to keep at least one person aware of your whereabouts: 127 hours. shar's been wanting to see this movie since her london colleagues discussed the flick over a fish n' chips lunch. shar likes to hike. shar likes to climb, but not as much as aron ralston. danny boyle has managed to capture the harrowing predicament that aron got himself into when a boulder pinned his hand against a canyon, causing him to cut off his own arm. oh yes, what you heard is true? it's as grizzly as you think it will be. remember trainspotting, friends? it's vintage boyle. all i have to say about the scene is never underestimate bone. aside from the climax of the chopping act, danny boyle infuses human emotion into the flick, much like his award winning slumdog millionaire. as a viewer, you are kicking aron and then rooting for his dumbass, egotistical self. go see it!

most highly anticipated remake: my fair lady helmed by danny boyle. andy clued me in on the buzz of this possible remake. it sounds like a loverily endeavor with emma thompson penning the screenplay. i'm a little afraid of the casting of eliza dolittle. shar hearts her audrey hepburn and ever since they had jennifer love hewitt play her in a biopic i doubt hollywood casting agents. i saw claire danes in pygmalion a while back on broadway. she wasn't so bad but i can't see her as eliza. i'm thinking anne hathaway maybe. she won me over with her nixon impression at the oscars and i do love me some princess diaries with robert schwartzman. i boycotted the sequel because he wasn't in it. here's hoping for a grand eliza doolittle 2.0!
