I saw 300 recently and it's actually pretty good. Snyder has a great hand for bringin the world of the graphic novel to the screen. I hope he does equally well with his next project, Watchmen.

I just saw Happy Feet. Penguin dances to his own tune and gets kicked out of the penguin community. A story of growing-up and being true to yourself.

Best of Most Haunted Live 3- Pendle Hell. WOW is all i'm saying!
Yes, I always try to get thier films and any other old films that look appealing. I have two out right now from my library. Can't wait to view them. Going there again tonight to return 4 things and get two more CD's to download. Can't have enough movies or music!Quote:

Now my school is the Philadelphia University for the Arts - can you even imagine what it is like now (?) - includes dance and theater, etc. I would have been in my glory. But, I had a good film teacher and I learned about the all time greats - Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, Capa, Houston, Ford, and all the other guys who paved the way for today's directors and producers. So, I was truly blessed and it gave me this avid and broad interest in all types of films.Quote:

Naimh, I think they were pulling your leg, but I will look up his biography again for our satisfaction. By the way, I keep a whole folder of photos of the guy. I have a bunch of film stars I like in a bigger file.Quote:

Ok so lets pretend we cloned him them!:D that way there is enough of him to go around!:lol: (oh dear..i'm starting to become a groupy:( )Quote:

Woo, I agree totally -- I love Bogie!Quote:

My friend, Lynne, and I never agree on films. She loved "Miss Sunshine", I really did not. I knew she was going to tell me about "Borat", and I have no desire to see this silly, stupid film. It looks too cras for me. I would not waste my time on it. So glad you wrote this post, kiz-paws. I am sure I would agree if I saw it (1/10), but I won't even bother.
The last movie I watched was The Usual Suspects: In the aftermath of a ship, conflagurating and sinking on the open ocean, presumed to be carrying a host of notorious drug dealers and buyers, initiating millions of dollars worth of illegal trade, only one survivor of the catastrophe may tell the story in his own words. When the rest of the survivor's underground crew are discovered to have died on the drugged ship except the arch-leader, Keaton, an official team interrogates the survivor and pushes him to great lengths to tell the tale. The movie consummates on a beautiful twist, after sending the viewer through a joyride of heart thumping scenes which may or may not have been the complete facts---

You and I have conflicting views. Mel Gibson directed that film flawlessly in my opinion.Quote:

I thought Jim Caveizel did a fine job of acting in that film. He has a introspective quality and wonderfully expressive eyes. I felt he fit the Christ image well. I do think other versions of 'the Passion' are a bit cleaned up. Yes, the whipping scene was awful, but that is in the bible. I really did not know what all the fuss was about the film, when it first came out - all the negative contraversy. The violence was no worse than "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" or the new film "300" and people eat that stuff up. If it is real life they seem not to tolerate it. Go figure that one out....Quote:
