I've never seen it. I've heard of it, of course, but didn't know the plot so I just looked it up. Not sure I could make it through a first time on that one.

Raising Cain


At the last I was Amy

I walked out when she had to make her choice. (Came back to finish the movie). I can't imagine how horrible it would be. I read the book first and had a hard time picturing her in it at first, but she was excellent, as usual.

Well, I told them, nicely, that they'd just ruined the book (and subsequently the movie ... that hadn't been made yet) for me.

Please, I have a hard time making choices on what to eat.....train stations will never look the same to me.  No, never seeing THAT one again even thought, to me, Meryl is God.

I was reading that book, when it was first released and I was working in a bookstore. Two women walked up to the cash register one day, talking about it and before I could stop them, gave away Sophie's Choice. I was livid.

Yep. I tried a second go on that and no way.

Sophie's Choice

I loved a movie called Starlight Hotel (NZ movie I think) the only reason I cant see it again is because I have never been able to obtain it anywhere and have never seen it on TV.

Mystic River
I guess I didn't LOVE it, but it was very good.
