Wow, thanks for posting that. I just watched the first segment and liked it very much. Olivier Reed was an amazing actor; Christian Bale had incredible talent as a young kid actor. He played a youth in Ken Branagh's "Henry V", too. Is this whole film available on Youtube? I would love to watch it all.Quote:

Okay, I'm sorry if someone has posted this earlier, but...
"V for Vendetta". I just got the DVD.
Hugo Weaving was awesome as V, seeing as he had to wear a full-face mask so we couldn't see his expressions.
Quantum of Solace
as a pretty intense James Bond fan, I am severely disappointed. I got to the end and asked "what happened?". The film work itself was good...but there was no plot at all. Sadness:(
I love "Doctor Zhivago," too and I also have that DVD, the one with Omar Sharif and Julie Christie. I don't care for the more recent version. I adore Omar Sharif. Adored him in "Lawrence of Arabia," too.Quote:

I watched Religulous last weekend. Actually I watched it twice - once with a little buzz going on and the second time without. I like Bill Maher and I remember watching his stand-up and thinking that I could do with a little less religion bashing. I thought he made good points but I also thought that he was somewhat condescending so I wasn't sure what to expect with Religulous. I thought it might be good for a few laughs, but I expected to be more offended than amused. I thougt he would probably interview several people from different faiths and then go on to make fun of them. I was pleasantly surprised though. There were a lot of interviews, but they were broken up with a lot of fitting and hilarious footage and music strategically inserted to either make a point or make you laugh. Best of all, Bill Maher wasn't as big of an arse as I expected him to be. Some people may get offended I suppose, but I would suggest that anyone who gets upset just keep in mind that Bill Maher is a comedian. So, I give Religulous a 9/10.
One of these days I may spring for the DVD of DZ. I have to spread out my spending and find I am accumulating a lot of DVD's lately so I must budget a bit. I loved him LOA, too...such an amazing film and like nothing else then or now.Quote:

Yes very tragic, but I love it; great film. I love the scene where he breaks down telling the audience what has become of Victoria. His personality and demeanor has been, up until this ending, mostly in control; perhaps, only the mirror scene indicates some loss of control of his emotions, but more like anger; throughout he has been pretty composed and his emotions have been kept in-check; then this scene shows him totally crushed and vulnerable; it's like he has a breakdown standing there right on stage. Anton Walbrook's performance in this film never ceases to fascinate me.Quote:

All of those are great! Nice gift from you husband. I love the early movies in B/W. I have a small set like that, which I have not watched for awhile now. The early rendition of "The Lady Vanishes" is real good.Quote:

Good versions of both. I own them both, too. I try to collect anything on film to do with Lawrence. I have a book that tells of the adaptations but I haven't had the time to delve into it yet. I would die to get the BBC mini-series film of "Boy in the Bush". I just read the book not long ago and liked it very much. The ending is quite subversive though, even for Lawrence.;) A young Kenneth Branagh plays the protagonist. The book was a collaboration with Molly Skinner, but the scholars are now saying the writing is purely all Lawrence. It is about a young man who is send to Australia by his parents in the 1800's. I really enjoyed reading this novel. It was different that others of L's.Quote:

Sometimes we do need the light side of life. I caught on Youtube the whole Shakespeare remake of "The Taming of the Shrew" starring Rufus Sewell as the manly bridegroom, two nights ago. It's set in modern day and is a scream. Kate is played by this English actress, who is really tiny and has a squeaky funny voice. She is hilarious. I had to view most of it twice, since I got such a kick out of it. I think it should be up for awhile, if anyone is interested. I believe it is about 9 segments, the complete movie.Quote:

Last night I watched "The Woodlanders", also with cute, sexy, handsome Rufus Sewell, and then part of Ken Branagh's "Frankenstein". I own both, so watch them often. I cried near the ending to the first film. It gets to me everytime. I like both films very much.
can't say I'm a James Bond fan, really. But this was the weirdest Bond film I've ever seen, too. I missed a plot, too.Quote:

War, Inc. – 1/5
This film was hard to sit through. The themes were blatant and often times would reach from the screen and slap you in the face. I don’t understand why great actors would lower to such political waste.
