No, actually, it's spelled "happyness" in the title.  It's a reference to the daycare the main character sends his son to in the movie.  To illustrate how poor the neighborhood is, the word "happiness" in their version of the Declaration of Independence was misspelled, but no one wants to bother to get it fixed.

The movie is based on a true story, in which this actually was the case.

Are you sure he didn't mean the film 'Happiness'?  That was a great movie - I'll never forget the part where Philip Seymour Hoffman comes on the wall.

The Queen, I was very impressed with everyone's preformance, especially the guy who played Blair.

As was I... a pleasant surprise as I thought it was going to be bad simply because the subject matter sounded boring.

Is Blood Diamond any good? I hardly ever go to movies in the theaters, but my friend said it was great, and it's playing at the cheap theater here now I think...

8 mile. Not as good as critics made it out to be (which still wasn't all that good).

Babel

I loved it!  It has Best Picture written all over it. Has anyone else here seen it?

'Letters From Iwo Jima' -one of the best movies I have seen.  In fact it bests even its counterpart 'Flags of Our Fathers' that I also saw.  Not only does it show the battle for the island from the Japanese perspective (I don't believe I had ever seen a WW2 film that showed the war from anything other than the victors' perspective), but it also includes a scene in which an officer (who visited the United States prior to the outbreak of war between Japan and the United States on December 7th) illustrates to his men the humanity of their enemies.

I strongly recommend that all of you go see it.

Evil Dead Trap

Interesting, but unevenly paced.

The Queen. Yeah, not usually my type of movie, but quite amusing.

Blood Diamond

Almost caught up with the good movies from last year. Letters from Iwo Jima and The Last King of Scotland to go.

In theaters I'd have to say...The Good Shepard.

On TV, I watched Star Wars Espoide I last night.

I cried during that one, I saw it 4 years ago in the theatre but haven't seen it again because it was so upsetting. One of the best films of the decade though.

Yes, it was very moving. Which is in a way surprising, given how removed the characters are from oneself (or at least from me Wink)

I agree it was excellent, though some say it's pretentious I didn't really think of it as that. And I did get sort of inspired to read Mrs. Dalloway too. It's always nice to see an example of how one should make a biopic.

Evita. Still one of my favorite movie musicals; it's a shame that Alan Parker's adaption of Les Miserables never took off.
