So what’s everyone thinking is going to be the good movies of the fall? So far on my list…in no particular order…are: Exorcism of Emily Rose Proof (glad to see Gwynie again) Elizabethtown RENT SawII The Fog Flightplan Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Others? Seems like there are a lot coming out this Fall - summer season was good but I’m excited for some of these upcoming ones… ---

“Exorcism of Emily Rose” looks really good. It comes out Friday, and I’m going to see it. ---

Yeah I plan on seeing it this weekend too - hopefully Friday. I’m a big fan of horror films based on a true story - makes it much scarier IMO. Have you read about the backstory for it? ---

I have put these titles on my calendar. Whether I will actually go to see some of them (_Flightplan_, _Elizabethtown_) will depend on the [Tomatometer](http://www.rottentomatoes.com): _Everything Is Illuminated_ (Elijah Wood) _The Libertine_ (Johnny Depp, Samantha Morton _Corpse Bride_ (Johnny Depp, Joanna Lumley) _Flightplan_ (Sean Bean) _Pride and Prejudice_ _A History of Violence_ (Viggo Mortensen) _Oliver Twist_ _Serenity_ (never saw the show, wanna see what all the fuss was about) _Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit_ (no brainer, but also Ralph Fiennes) _Elizabethtown_ (Orlando Bloom) (shut up – I’m trying to decide if he can really act) _Stay_ (Ewan McGregor) _Derailed_ (Clive Owen) (mmm, Clive Owen) _The Legend of Zorro_ (Rufus Sewell) _Chicken Little_ _Jarhead_ (Jake Gyllenhaal) _The New World_ (Christian Bale, David Thewlis – yes, David Thewlis) _Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire_ (another obvious one, but also for Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, and Emma Watson) _Ice Harvest_ (John Cusack, Oliver Platt, and Billy Bob Thornton) _River Queen_ (Samantha Morton) _Brokeback Mountain_ (Heath Ledger) _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_ (Rupert Everett) _All the King’s Men_ (Jude Law) _King Kong_ (Adrien Brody, hommina hommina) _Lucky You_ (Eric Bana) _Fun with Dick and Jane_ (this one is unlikely, really, but I like Tea Leoni) and last but not least _The Producers_ This takes me through the end of the year (Oscar season). ---

> [@chefjef](#): > > Yeah I plan on seeing it this weekend too - hopefully Friday. I’m a big fan of horror films based on a true story - makes it much scarier IMO. Have you read about the backstory for it? No I haven’t read the backstory, if you have a suggestion, I’d love to read up on it. I found someone to go the the movie with me. It was hard because none of my friends wanted to go with me. “Zombies, vampires, serial killers, I can handle, but not exorcism/demon stuff.” Which sucks for me because those are the only type of scary movies I like, because they are the only kind that can scare me. Zombies: Not possible. Vampires: Not possible. Serial Killers: I live on a military base, probaly one of the safest places when not getting shot at. Demon/Satanic stuff: Raised to believe all that stuff is real, and I won’t mess with it. It scares the hell (get it?) out of me. ---

Let’s see… Everything is Illuminated- must remember to bring kleenex and a large hat, 'cause unless Liev Schreiber reallys crewed up the book, I’ll be bawling mye yes out (christ, I get halfway there during the trailer) Thumbsucker- I’m hoping it’ll be something similar to Election, and that Vince Vaughn might get through a movie without a single “Baby!” Flightplan- the story looks really thrilling and it’ll be interesting to see Jodie F… ah, screw it. I have the hots for Peter Sarsgaard. Jarhead- Sarsgaard may be in it, I’d probably see it anyway. The trailer looks great, and I’ll be happy if it’s even half as good as the excellent Three Kings. and based on the coolness factor alone, Domino. ---

1. Harry Potter 😃 2. Elizabethtown (because I’m genuinely interested in the film, NOT because Orlando Bloom is in it…my best friend’s the one who’s obsessed over him) 3. Flightplan (I like Jodie Foster and this thriller looks great) 4. Everything is Illuminated (see #2, but replace Orlando Bloom with Elijah Wood. Same best friend, too.) 5. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (I like the book. Aforementioned best friend wants to see it because they hired the same design people from LotR. Can you see a theme here?) 6. Stay (I like Ewan McGregor) Possibilities: 1. Rent 2. Thumbsucker (I think it’s limited release, though) 3. Exorcism of Emily Rose (if it’s rated 14A at certain theatres) ---
