Oh, wow.
I just got back from seeing Bridge to Terabithia. Please, all of you, go see this movie, or rent it at some point. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous film, lovingly adapted from one of my favorite childhood stories. If you know the book - the movie IS the book, with life breathed into every second of it. Because it's such a short story, they were able to keep virtually every detail intact, and it had the same emotional punch... you know what I mean. Gorgeous, breathtaking, beautiful.
The two child actors they got for the star roles are *marvelous*. The girl is Violet Beauregarde from the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the boy has been in Xathura, which I didn't see. But they both do a magnificent job, building a connection between their characters that squeezes my heart. It's truly a beautiful film, about the wild imagination of childhood, about freedom and joy. Everyone see it! Now! *shoos*
ETA: If you're having doubts because of the trailer, don't. I did too until a friend told me to see it. The trailer is *awful* and doesn't represent the movie at all. Trust me!

SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE AHEAD, AVOID IF YOU HAVENT SEEN!
lol, I haven't seen that trailer... but I don't see many films in theater at all, and I don't think that'll be one I choose ^_^
Re: SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE AHEAD, AVOID IF YOU HAVENT SEEN!
they showed that trailer at terabithia when we went. since i am the proud owner of two young boys, I get to see all those movies. We go to the cheap theater on weekends in the winter, and the drive in in the summer. Cheap family fun.
I wish I could go see adult movies in theaters. not porn kind of adult movies, but like I'd really like to go see Zodiac but I doubt I'll be able to.
