A Nightmare on Elm Street - 9/10
One pound is about 1.7 USD these days so it would be something like $30 I think so really not bad at all.Quote:

Another favorite Audrey movie is "Wait Until Dark".
Scher, thanks for the conversion. Yes, that would not be bad; of course the UK Amazon is region 2, right? or is it 'all region'. A friend of mine made a gift to me of a Region 2 player so now I can watch those. Many of the new films are indeed 'all region'.Quote:

:)Great film! Been sometime, since I have seen that one. Scary, too.Quote:

Burn After Reading - 9/10
Brad Pitt stole the scenes in this movie, I thought. Too bad the role wasn't a little bigger.
Lars and the Real Girl - 10/10
I thought Ryan Gosling was great in this. Loved this movie!
Philadelphia - 10/10
I watched this for the hundredth time today. Still puts me into a major funk afterwards as it did the first time that I saw it in the theaters back in '93. Excellent movie, though. :thumbs_up
I watched Monday's Girl by Hal Hartly. I give it 4/10
It too preachy and his camera work made it hard to watch sometimes. I much prefer his older movies.
Hello again! It's been quite a while, but I'm back, and of course had to make my first pit stop right here!
While I haven't seen anything recently (back to school and all), I thought I'd share a piece of film news that has me pretty excited (and I think Janine will be too!). They're making a new film version of King Lear to be released in 2010. And not only that, but my favourite actor in the world will be reprising his role as Lear, whom he last played on stage!!!! Any guesses??
Welcome back *Classic*Charm*! I was just coming in here because I noticed your name in the listings. I had not seen you for some time now and wondered where you ran off to. There are a lot of changes to the forum; I did not know if you were aware of it yet - they are pretty exciting. You should take a look at all the new 'improved and creative' profile pages; I can just imagine yours, with lush equestrian themes. Funny you should mention me, eh? and always in conjunction with Shakespeare on film. I can't wait to see the new version. Might I wager a guess - does his first name begin with an A? :lol:...his last begin with a H, by any chance? If so I think that will be a very fine production. I can't wait to see it, although I wonder if eventually my guy, Ken Branagh, will get older and play Lear someday; he played the fool in an audio production of the same play...come to think of it; I forgot all about that and failed to listen to it yet...maybe this week.Quote:

Green Mile- 10/10! Really inspiring..:)powerfully-told story that lays bare the triumphs and tragedies of the human condition.
read the movie review
We watched Schindler's List today during our History incursion. Wow. Very well done and powerful... But too much gore and blood and nudity really... Especially after the documentary we watched before it! Too much to handle for someone like me.
I love the line "Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't"
9/10
sprinks, "Schindler's List" is a very fine movie indeed; it is quite hard to digest, I agree. I have wanted to re-watch it sometime but one has to brace one's self to do so. It is pretty blantant with the cruelty and the blood, death, etc.
That is a great line.
eyemaker, "Green Mile" - 10/10 - YES!!! Great film! My mother and my sister kept telling me to see it and finally I broke down and did. It was amazing and the performances were terrific.
I saw a few films this week: I saw "Roman Holiday" 10/10 - I have seen it so many times but I never tire of it.
I also saw "High Season" with Jacquline Bisset and James Fox and a very young Kenneth Branagh. I have seen this film, which is set in Greece, Rhodes, and I think it is always just as humorous and human. I love this film. I needed something light and short so I watched it the other night. The scenery is so beautiful on the island....gorgeous night swim in a moonlight blue sea with Bisset and Branagh....worth it just to see that part.
I also watched "Fried Green Tomatoes" and forgot just how great that film really was. Jessica Tandy was a wonderful actress and all the acting was top-notch. I loved it!
I also saw an adaptation of D.H.Lawrence's "The Rainbow" which aired on the BBC TV. On the flip side of the DVD was a play by Lawrence - "The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd" and stared Colin Firth as the husband. Both productions were well worth viewing. My only criticism of "The Rainbow" was that they cut some of the scenes and I was disappointed in that. I saw those on Youtube and so I knew they were missing. It is a pity because the production was very well done.
Well, it was a documentary...
"Screamers"--over the Armenian Genocide. Very good but disturbing film. I actually got to meet the director/producer/editor. 10/10
OH! I saw Brideshead Revisted! It was really good...but a tad bit confusing in some parts. 9/10:thumbs_up:D
Mortis, I love documentaries and I also loved "Brideshead Revisited"...I also read the book. It well deserves a 10/10 - I agree.
I haven't read the book...I'll definetly have to read it though, because I loved the film. It was an amazing cast.Quote:

Haha yes, Janine, the name does happen to be one Anthony Hopkins :D:D
Yes, I'm still working my way around these new changes. It'll take some time I'm sure. Yes, thank you, I did have a good summer. How about yourself?
Oh, and I did see something new recently.
Awake- I can't really give it a score right now. I need to see it again. I must say though, Hayden Christensen is AWEFUL.
Kind of thought so.....hey, *Classic* isn't it 'Sir Anthony'? :lol:Quote:

Well Hayden Christensen is really cute, but you say he was awful; I saw him in something not too long ago (can't remember), not a Star War movie and I thought he was good. Wasn't he also in "Life as a House" with Kevin Kline? I loved that movie. Does he star in "Awake" - what is it about?Quote:
