Amelie - There is something about Audrey Tantou that just annoys me. She's supposed to be so cute and charming, but I found her character borderline creepy. There's another, far less well-known movie I saw which also starred her, called "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" (don't remember French title). In that movie she plays what appears to be the same cutesy "free spirit" type, but her character turns out to be much darker. I thought Tantou was far more suited to that character. (And I liked that movie much better, too.)

I liked the premise of this movie, which is why I saw it. But the plot didn't really turn out to be that interesting after all, IMO.

Dark City - Well, I loved the mind-fuck of the ending the best. And the hints that were dropped about that... "Doesn't anyone know how to get to Shell Beach?" Of course we do. You just drive down... um... To me, this was like a weird dream where you know something is really wrong, and you spend what seems like an eternity trying to figure out what it is.

Special effects were cool and creepy, too. Also very much like a nightmare, where buildings loom menacingly - in this case, actually growing from the ground.

But the Keifer Sutherland character kept making me hyperventilate sympathetically. :)
