Title: Happy Accidents
Post by: bonanzataz on March 11, 2003, 08:55:48 PM
Netflix said that based on my queue list I would enjoy this film and it got me reminiscing. I went to the premiere of this movie and afterwards met Marisa Tomei, Vincent Donofrio, and Brad Anderson (the director) at the after-party. I remember really enjoying it. I hate romantic comedies but I thought this one was really special and I thought it was a shame it didn't get a much wider release. If people had discovered it, it could have become a small hit. It's one of those time travel romances but it really doesn't feel like it. It has so much going for it. Much more than I'm sure Kate and Leopold had anyway. Anybody else seen it?

I was due to go to a Press Screening of this...on the morning of 9/11

In retrospect, I wish I'd gone.

weird, i'd never even heard of that film, and usually most american movies make it to video release at the least. odd.

actually, speaking of happy accidents, there's this really cool movie quote quiz that you should all check out.

it's at http://www.empireonline.co.uk/bigmoviequotequiz/. i got half marks first time around with no help, and now i'm starting to cheat a little i'm only missing seven.

I liked it.  Not great, but good.  Peter Mullan is always the man, and it even used Caruso well.
