'Mystic River' just smelled interesting to me. So I read it and liked it right away. Even the dialogue in it was great.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I loved that it was about human relationships and then it was a mystery without falling into the trap of a thriller per se, because it pulled you in through people rather than through events or effects.
'The River Wild' was great, with Meryl Streep. That guy was really a bad dude who was ultimately sort of fundamentally impotent in a weird way. That was kind of interesting.
I thought 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' was so interesting the way it was made and the texture of it.
I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.
If I'm made to pick one transcendent reading experience, then it was listening to Miss Sarzin as - if we'd been very, very good - she read the next chapter of 'The Hobbit' aloud to us.
It was so satisfying for me - a great reward, just to see it done well. And it was beautifully directed by my daughter Susan Riskin. Imagine, a play about my mother directed by my daughter?!
I've always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic.
I saw 'The Fountain' because my friend came over one day and said, 'This is my favorite movie I've ever seen. Please watch this,' and I watched it, and that was amazing.
I thought 'Cabin in the Woods' was really incredible.
'Red Dawn' was very resonant with a lot of people - they love that movie. I always thought it was a little hysterical.
