L’Auberge Espagnole and X-Men 2

Thanks to a Craig’s List posting I got in at the last minute to see L’Auberge Espagno with Josh. I was excited that Audrey Tatou of Amélie fame would be in it, but like the posting said her role was relatively minor. Overall I enjoyed the film a lot, it had some really novel things in it and some great moments. The characters fluency with so many languages made me wish for a similar fluency in at least one other language.

Last Friday I saw X-Men 2, I just forgot to post about it. I went in with very low expectations as I thought the first movie was really mediocre. This was about a thousand times better. If you’re in to that sort of thing, go check it out. It was also neat because it was the first movie I’d seen in months.

It feels strange talking about to movies from very different genres right next to each other, they were both good, but in very different ways. Of course movies will never be the same when the new Matrix comes out in 9 days. Is it over-hyped? Not at all.

  1. Whoa, only 9 days? Dude, I remember you guys talking about that back in January, and I was wondering if I’d be home by then. Weeeird.

  2. Damn – I missed it! My husband is absolutely in love with Audrey… well, I guess I’ll take him when the movie actually opens. I saw the listing in the spring film magazine that the Landmark puts out but didn’t know when it would be shwoing.

  3. i have still yet to see X2 and i hope to see it this weekend or next. i want to go when the theaters die down. as for Matrix, i don’t know if i can hold out that long!

    side note – i was checking the comments to see if Elaine commented because of you mentioning Audry Tatou. and i was right! 🙂
