toastykittenBrokeback Mountain - gay cowboys! Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal kissing! Romantic tragedy! I don't need anything else.
Chronicles of Narnia - because I read the books. And it looks good.
Aeon Flux - I'm such a sucker for these movies.
My epiphany - Even though I haven't read these books yet, I'm convinced that Lemony Snicket (author of A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Elizabeth Kostova (author of The Historian) are either the same person or totally stealing from each other.
From Lemony Snicket:
"Dear Reader,
I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe."
From Elizabeth Kostova:
"My Dear and Unfortunate Successor:
It is with regret that I imagine you, whoever you are, reading the account I must put down here. The regret is partly for myself--because I will surely be at least in trouble, maybe dead, or perhaps worse, if this is in your hands. But my regret is for you, my yet-unknown friend, because only by someone who needs such vile information will this letter someday be read."
