While visiting my good friend Anna over the weekend, we did a girls’ night out at the movies. Did we go see a chick flick full of light and fluffy romance or comedy? No, we went to see V for Vendetta. I like action movies, and this movie has plenty of action, but it’s also a very thought-provoking film. It’s one of those movies I want to see again because I think I’ll catch even more of what the filmmakers were trying to get across.
I thought Natalie Portman (Evey) did a great job in this movie as did Hugo Weaving, who played V. What an interesting character–this mixture of hurt and love and vengence and hope.
If you read this blog, you know I’m fond of Chinese films. Here’s a new trailer for another that promises to be stunningly beautiful.

Hey Trish! Definitely check out The Promise. I watched it when it was in theaters here a few months back, and it was absolutely breathtaking.
Anyway, I’m going to watch V for Vendetta this weekend; can’t wait as I’ve heard nothing but great things about this film. Have a great week!

Oh, great. I’m glad to hear it’s as good as it looks. I have no idea when it’s opening in the U.S. though. Need to investigate. Hope you like V. Let me know what you think.
