You'd think Pierce Brosman could do an Irish accent, maybe he spend too long as James Bond and forgot how to be Irish.

Saw Secret Window last night, based on Stephen King's book (haven't read it though) and starring a troubled and very murderous Johnny Depp. Wasn't bad, had a twist at the end which wasn't expected.
8/10
A but he's a country boy not a Dubliner. Boggers dont do the Dub accent very well.Quote:

First of all, it's boring. Second of all, it concentrates too much on Mel Gibson and his family problems in contrast to the actual War. The videos from the History Channel are more interesting than this movie. Third of all, it's very inaccurate historically and for no apparent reason.
John Q - 6/10
I saw this somewhere from the middle, this movie had an OK story but it was cheaply done. If someone did heart surgery like that, lol. In any case, this movie had no feel... It could have, but it didn't.
Remember the Titans - 3/10
Eh. How many more movies about a bunch of idiots playing some sport (and football, for God's sake) are they going to make? And what had racial discrimination to do with this? October Skies is the direct opposite of this movie and I like it a lot better.
Gladiator - 9/10
I think this movie is a masterpiece, but every time I watch it, there is something wrong with it on the interest scale...
Rush Hour 1/2 - 7/10
A good laugh and a lot better than most other parody movies.
The Lawnmower Man - 7/10
Very incoherent, but it's a good movie, I wonder why people don't like it so much.
Sorry, Dublin term for anyone who lives outside of Dublin. Basicly comes from the fact that the whole centre of Ireland and many mountains are covered in a bog. Hence the term Boggers-People from the bog.Quote:

I am not a very (read: not at all :D) movie-type of person. In the past three years, that is, since I am in high school, I went to cinema maybe two or three times in total, and I hardly ever watch television at all (maybe the news occassionally, or some politic show about once in... two, three months?), and I am generally unacquaintated with movies, especially the more recent ones.
I am more likely to be found in theatre (whilst I was in cinema only a couple of times since I am in high school, in the same time frame I saw innumerable theatre plays, operas and ballets).
Probably the last movie I saw - if memory serves me - was La Fille Sur Le Pont roughly about a year ago. I remember that I liked it a lot (atypical for me), but I could not rate it based solely on vague memories.
5 is being very generous. No apparent reason? It's biased to the highest extent simply to promote american patriotism. One of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.Quote:

And, if you ask me, a movies about the American Revolution should promote patriotism, what it should not do, is make the combatants look worse than they actually were, or make the Americans look different from what they actually were. But I guess they decided we have the History Channel for that.
And when I watch movies I try to forget about the "This movies is made to get money" thing, or "they had a low budget". It really blurs interpretation.
I agree!Quote:

The Mirror by Andrei Tarkovsky. I don't know what to think of it yet, I'm still processing it. It was either incredibly simple and straightforward or complex and full of symbolic imagery, one or the other but I'm not quite sure which yet. :lol:
I love this movie. I've been waiting and waiting for the supposed sequel, but I think that I will have to give up on that dream. It has been in pre-production for the last two years or so I've been watching for it.Quote:
