What is The Last Movie You Watched?

Oh shit. I just looked up pictures of Haley Joel Osment. So brilliant as a child. Are we really so superficial? Yes. Yes. Yes.

Edit: and Stewie's burning out harder than Corey Feldman.

Don't know if it's been mentioned here yet, but I went to see Philomena, with Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. It's based on a true story about an Irish woman whose baby was sold by nuns in the 1950s. Judi Dench is, as always, terrific. But the revelation is Steve Coogan - restrained, mature, and moving.

And I can already hear the sneers revving up in certain places, but I thought it was a really good film.

Tonight I'm off to see Gravity, in 3D.

I agree with RobertLouis judgement of "Philomena" I posted some comments about two weeks ago. Tonight i am seeing "12 years a slave'.

In London? Just checked to see it's on at the IMAX in London, as I would like to see it there. Do review it as some claim once you get over the visuals there is no story.

Typical... can't be bothered to come to London with all it's treats and delights. Provincial through and through...

More on child stars maturing into adult performers: Jodie Foster an obvious omission, and also one of the best although some of her films are slight.

More on child stars maturing into adult performers:

how about leo di caprio? or neil patrick harris? ron howard would probably be the most suck-cess-ful though, but he was a kid about 5 generations ago right?

[Stavros]

It's not as if we have done exhaustive research -does Ron Howard count if he stopped acting? Not sure. Not aware of di Caprio's earlier career and no idea who Harris is.

I saw "12 Years a slave" this evening. Will post comments tomorrow. Too emotionally drained right now.
