  3. I love the Arthurian Legends but I'm sick to death of all the endless movies and TV series made from them over the past 10-15 years. However, I will go see Guy Ritchie's version just because he's directing it and I like his work.

    2. Maybe if we're lucky, Arthur and Lancelot will be lovers in this one. I don't think that angle has been explored before?

  6. Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love came up on SongPop today and I was thinking, "Whatever happened to her?" Now I know! I never really cared for that song, Walking on Sunshine, but she did a good job remaking it. Her version sounds a lot less obnoxious...and her video is DEFINITELY better than the Katrina & The Waves one was: http://youtu.be/iPUmE-tne5U

  11. Even though the settings are confined, I've enjoyed submarine movies. If there's lots of tension and great acting, I'm in.

  12. You know, ever since Guy Ritchie cast Madonna in that one terrible movie (what the hell was it called? see, so bad I can't even remember the title!), I just can't take anything he does seriously.
