"A Very Long Engagement"

I finally got a chance to see the new Jean-Pierre Jeunet / Audrey Tautou flick, "A Very Long Engagement" at the cinema saver last weekend. I thought that the movie was very good. I wouldn't say that it is as much of an in-your-face visual knockout that Amélie was, but that is okay. I felt that the was well shot, in that the cinematography really brought me into the setting -- especially the trenches of World War I.

I went with Mike to see the movie, and he remarked afterwards that it was such a "chick flick", that we are probably engaged as a side-effect. All jokes aside, I am a little worried -- I was so enraptured by the film, that I didn't even notice that it was a chick flick. Either my detector is on the fritz, or California is turning me into a big girl.

I had better go and kill the shit out of Kevin in Urban Terror just to be on the safe side.
