(Julia Stiles - does anyone like watching her onscreen?)
*raises hand high* yup, i sure do. actually, i've seen pretty much all her movies just because they have her in them. i'm not sure why i like her this much, i just do. i thought that save the last dance was pretty contrived from beginning to end, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment or multiple viewing of it one bit.
i watched gosford park recently, and i really loved it. i don't like murder mysteries and i usually have to be in the mood for period pieces, but this film won me over pretty much right from the start, mostly due to its amazing attention to detail. i think this film isn't so much about the story as it is about trying to recreate a certain time period down to the last dish cloth. in addition, it has so many great actors, including [the previously unknown-to-me] kelly mcdonald as mary maceachran. the dvd also has an excellent commentary by altman and the writers.
