Watched: MATCH POINT, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, LOST season finale
MATCH POINT (via Netflix): Surprisingly satisfying. Damned if he still doesn't have it.
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (via library): Wanted to like it more than I did -- Dahl's tone is really hard to carry off on screen, and more FX doesn't necessarily help. Still, some great moments/images/songs.
LOST (season finale): At the very end of the episode, Jess and I turned to one another and screamed "What??!!" Reminded me strongly of another great ending from a TV episode: Special Agent Dale Cooper wakes up after seeing The Man From Another Place dancing in his dreams, picks up the phone, and calls Sheriff Truman to tell him that he knows who killed Laura Palmer. Oh, but the heartbreak that followed when that series lost its way and ended in suckitude. I hope LOST doesn't do the same...

seriously though...I try watchiing LOST every now and then. It's pointless really since I couldn't get into it from the beginning, BUT seriously, one day I tried to watch it and I saw that some of the characters were in a kitchen with an eletric stove. Aren't they supposed to be on a deserted island somewhere!!!? So, I'm freaking out and my brother tries to explain to me about the other people that live there...anyway, they LOST me after that. hahahaQ
Yeah, you have to have been watching from early on to know what's going on. That's what DVD box sets are for. :)
