Beverly Hills Spy Transformer Chihuahuas at High School 2, and it was great! Hehe, just kidding. I saw the first Part of Che by Stephen Soderbergh with Benicio del Toro as Che Guevara and I liked this film very much for it seemed to be very authentic and unadorned. 10/10
Che is soooo good! My friend got me to see it, and at first I didn't know what to think of it, but it's really well-acted.Quote:

I mentioned Transformers 2 being the worst movie of all time. Well, Keanu Reeves is certainly the worst actor of all time.Quote:

Hey, *Classic*, I think I saw Phone Booth. Is that the film that completely takes place within a phone booth? If so, it was different.:goof:Quote:

I still like the idea and the acting was excellent, I thought. It's funny, it took me till now to finally see that film. I guess eventually I will have to see Silence of the Lambs. I watched Sweeney Todd, so now I am sure I can deal with SOTL.
10,000 B.C: was the worst movie of all time... Keanu is one of the worst actors of all time... and haven't seen Transformers 2, but agree about Phone Booth. How awful!
Burn After Reading. I am a big John Malkovich fan but I think this is the first time I have seen a movie with him that I didn't like. It was a big turn off for me to have Brad Pitt in it, I rarely like his movies. This one had potential I think but it just didn't fulfill it.
"Public enemies" by M Mann and i liked it very much :nod:
manolia, is that a remake? I heard of that title a long time ago and saw it recently advertized. Who is in it?Quote:

hahaha....we seem to all be in agreement on this one ...."Keanu Reeves is certainly the worst actor of all time"....I have thought so for sometime now. He's dreadful!
Last night I watched for about the 25th time Kenneth Branagh's beautiful film:
Hamlet
Thank God, Ken had the sense not to employ Keanu again for a role in his film. 'Much Ado' and his poor role as the villian was quite enough...thank heavens it was a short role. I suffered through his horrible delivery of the lines. Ken must have had off that day, or maybe one can't do a thing with Keanu playing Shakespeare.
Hamlet - what can I say, stunning! I know it's not perfect but I can overlook the flaws. One that sort of cracks me up at the end, when Hamlet dies, is that after all my viewings, I began to notice that his hand is in one position on the floor; then they pan away, a few minutes focus on Hamlet's body and his hand is in a different positon...more clenched and closer to his legs. I don't know, do corpses move? heheh.....
still all in all... this play and film fascinates me, because the complex character of Hamlet never ceases to fascinate me. Everytime I rewatch the film, I also have to watch the 'extras'. They're so entertaining.
The last couple minutes of the film are my favorites. I must love funnerals. I love the way the soldiers carry Hamlet 'like a soldier' to the stage. I love the ending with the outdoor funneral - the way it is shot is perfect. I love the contrast of black with the white snow. I love the song while the final credits run....In Pace. I usually go back and watch this part 2 or 3 times. I know, a bit obessive...but that is me.
Hmmmmmm...i don't know if it's a remake. I think it is based on a true story though. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are in it :) :brow:Quote:

Now that I think of it, there was a stage play called Public Enemy, I beleive. I will have to do some further research on the matter.Quote:

Last night, a friend and I watched Hamlet 2 - a bit slapstick-humor for my taste, but it had its good parts, and had a relatively original plot with a save-the-arts theme that seemed very easy to understand, almost too easy. It really had some funny scenes, but little consistency or relevance in the humor, other than to make the movie watchable, or so I felt; even the serious parts of the film showed some greatness here-and-there, but, in terms of both direction and writing, the movie seemed much like itsy-bitsy plots combined into 90 minutes with emphasis upon nothing in depth. I would not call the film a waste of time, since it surely had something to say, but someone other than the writer and director could have written and directed it better. As to the acting - silly, great, twisted.
Rating: 6/10
I had such high hopes but I couldn't sit though the whole thing. I agree it could have been better.Quote:
