• Posted Da Vinci Load to Seattlest
  We know that if you had any intention of seeing the Da Vinci Code you’ve probably gone already, but just in case you still care, we saw it opening weekend at a packed-to-the-gills Pacific Place (we knew it’d be popular, but we didn’t expect to see a line waiting for the theater when the film ended) (also, we didn’t expect such an Old Navy-clad crowd, or that anyone would think it was an appropriate movie...
• Posted Mission Possible to Seattlest
  We had no intention whatsoever of going to see MI:III, but Microsoft took us for free on Friday morning to Crossroads in Bellevue, so we figured what the hell.

It runs all day Saturday and Sunday as well, and on Sunday things are...
• Posted V for lots of words that start with V to Seattlest
  Ok, we'll just admit up front: we killed your puppy. No, it's worse. We didn't really... well, ok, we didn't like The Matrix. Even the first one. There, we've said it. So we weren't exactly jonesing for a new Wachowski Brothers joint. We do, however, like Alan Moore, and we like when movies try to be subversive, so off to see V for Vendetta we went last night. (Moore wrote the graphic novel on which...
• Posted Chasing Oscar: Munich to Seattlest
  Next in line of Oscar-nominees: Steven Spielberg's Munich, playing at the Metro, Columbia City, and the Meridian 16. So far, this is the one that has us most baffled, Best Picture-wise. It's good, even brilliant in parts, just like most of Spielberg's work, but it's problematic, and not just in the political sense. Munich imagines what happened after the 1972 Olympics, when all of the Israeli athletes were rounded up by Palestinian terrorists and killed....
