"There will be Blood" Awesome movie, the music makes you nervous through the whole thing. It is set in the early days of the oil industry in US. It is not so much about that, as it is a character study of an insane oil baron.

I love "What's Eatting Gilbert Grape?"...that a was funny and sad film. I need to see that JD one again myself.Originally Posted by LadyWentworth
Hi LadyWentworth! Yes, I was thinking about that later on last night, since I was burning the LLL soundtrack CD for a friendExcept for Nathan Lane. Do not forget that he is a big star of the Broadway stage.
Hello, Janine!
and listening to Nathan Lane singing "Give My Regards to Broadway" - I just love that part! I realized I had posted that wrong. Maybe also, a few others have sung professionally, that are in the show; like Nathan, they probably have done some Broadway singing before.

I was hoping to go see that this weekend, but I don't know if I will be able to just yet. Love, love, love Daniel Day Lewis!!! The man is a god!
The first time that I saw it was as a "preview". I haven't seen it in so many years, though. They used to show it on TV all the time. Now it is like the film has just completely disappeared.
I really don't know if anyone else has sung professionally. Though, if I am correct, Alessandro Nivolla is a very good singer. I believe that was his actual voice in "Junebug", and he sounded great!Hi LadyWentworth! Yes, I was thinking about that later on last night, since I was burning the LLL soundtrack CD for a friend
Troy~good movie
Did you see him in "My Left Foot"? I also just recently watched again - "Last of the Mohicans" - love that film and his role was wonderful! There are many more where I like him but a few where I was quite ambivalent.I was hoping to go see that this weekend, but I don't know if I will be able to just yet. Love, love, love Daniel Day Lewis!!! The man is a god!
My video rental had it and sometimes it has come into the library so I think it is still around. The video rental did have the tape so maybe they sold it; they had a big sale back in the summer. I should have knabbed it then, darn it! Now I should stop by again; they said they had some left (tapes) for a dollar each; I was buying some reduced DVD's that night so I failed to look at the tapes. I should stop in there and check it out....funny, if they still had it.The first time that I saw it was as a "preview". I haven't seen it in so many years, though.

I just saw "Junebug" and yes, he does have a nice voice. I think Alessandro Nivolla is cute, too. Wonder why no one ever seems to talk about him. I find him appealing. I also, think that Adrian Lester has a fine voice and probably sings on broadway. He is a pretty good dancer, also. He was the most professional in the film LLL, that I could see; but then what do I know. You know better than me, LW!I really don't know if anyone else has sung professionally.

What did you think of "Junebug" anyway?

It's a very recent one, starring Christian Bale. A true story, about the escape of a German-American soldier from Vietnam.What is that movie? Who stars in it? I can't remember if I have seen it or not.

Yes, I have seen "My Left Foot". I probably have seen most of his films with the exception of just a couple. What, other than "Gangs of New York", did you not like him in?
Well, it wouldn't hurt to go back and check. I am classic for not buying something when I should have, and then when I go back it is gone!My video rental had it and sometimes it has come into the library so I think it is still around.

I think he is SO CUTE!!! I have said that for years since I first saw him in "Masnfield Park"!I just saw "Junebug" and yes, he does have a nice voice. I think Alessandro Nivolla is cute, too.

You know, I know the name Adrian Lester. I don't know where I know him from (besides this movie), but there is no doubt the man is a professional! At least dance, wise. He was very good!
It was OK. It wasn't what I thought people made it out to be, but it was OK. I was a little annoyed with a couple of characters, though. What did you think?What did you think of "Junebug" anyway?
Yes! I know what that is. I thought it was that Christian Bale movie. I kept picturing his face in my mind when I read the title. I haven't seen that one yet, but it is on my Netflix list.It's a very recent one, starring Christian Bale. A true story, about the escape of a German-American soldier from Vietnam.
I enjoyed watching them.Actually I didn't mind "Barbershop". It is "Barbershop 2" that isn't too great. So, if you didn't like the first, definitely stay away from the second!
What did you think of "Love's Labours Lost"?
I heard the rats in "Ratatouille" look very realistic (in the long shots and there are a bunch of them running around). Is it true?
I haven't watched "Police Academy" in years! I could actually go for them again!but by th ethird you can see they are trying to make them funny. still love them though!
I liked the idea of the musical! Thought it was a great choice of songs. I was in stitches laughing for most of it but i dont think alisha silverstone was a great choice for the princess and was very disapointed that Emily Mortimer only had a less important role as Kathrine. It should have been the opposite way around...
Ratatouille was really good! Not sure about the scene of all the rats but yeah they looked real enough!

Well, I didn't like him that much in "Room With a View", but he was playing a character whom I did not like very much. However, I was disappointed first time I saw the film, since I read the book; I guess I did not picture the character he played quite as he played him. It was just a personal opinion.
Sometimes I do get lucky. I found "Hamlet" that way, but I nabbed that immediately - the two tape set for only $3! How lucky is that? I have both now - the DVD and the tapes - good to have backup when it comes to Ken's "Hamlet". I actually have a whole 'collecion'Well, it wouldn't hurt to go back and check. I am classic for not buying something when I should have, and then when I go back it is gone!
I think he is adorable and I like his voice when he speaks - sort of gentle. I like him alot. What else has he been in? I first saw him in LLL.I think he is SO CUTE!!! I have said that for years since I first saw him in "Masnfield Park"!
Yes, Adrian Lester has been in a lot of films. He was in the film with John Travolta, Emma Thompson about the President - "Primary Colors". I did think when he danced in LLL one immediately said - he is a professional dancer. He was really good. He is in the new KB film, "As You Like It" but he looks older to me now. Well, duh, we all do age, eventually.You know, I know the name Adrian Lester. I don't know where I know him from (besides this movie), but there is no doubt the man is a professional! At least dance, wise. He was very good!
I watched it for two reasons - to see him and also Embeth Davitz. I usually like her in films. I think she is a good actress and smart and attractive. I was quite disappointed, actually. What was with the rural guy (really a strange character) with those weird erotic/violent paintings? That was art??? I hated that part. I didn't warm up much to that mother either, and the daughter was so goofy and over-the-top, as was her weird husband...what was his problem? I guess I really did not much like the film, when you come right down to it. In my opinion, just another film about a disfunctional family. I need more than that from a film. It was OK, as you said. It was nothing to write home about. Kind of reminded me of "The Quid and the Whale" which I felt similarly about. After awhile, I completely forgot what it really was all about.It was OK. It wasn't what I thought people made it out to be, but it was OK. I was a little annoyed with a couple of characters, though. What did you think?

watching Volver, Hable Con Ella and Todo Sobre Mi Madre
It looks OK, but I will have to work up the courage to watch it.IRatatouille was really good! Not sure about the scene of all the rats but yeah they looked real enough!
I forgot that. You'd mentioned that once before to me.
The most recent film that I saw him in was something called "Carolina" with Shirley MacLaine and the one actress whose face I can picture perfectly but can't think of the name at all.I think he is adorable and I like his voice when he speaks - sort of gentle. I like him alot. What else has he been in? I first saw him in LLL.

Last movie I saw was '27 Dresses'
'Twasn't bad.
I have but one real objection: towards the end, if she knows she's in love with Malcolm Kevin Doyle, why does she have to kiss the boss to make sure she isn't in love with him??
So, what does that mean? If she had felt something in the kiss, she wouldn't have gone after Doyle?! For me, this totally killed the plot.
Ideally, when the boss kisses her, she dissfully [is that a word?] turns him down, and then walks off smiling, going to meet Doyle.
BTW, I'll have to look for 'My Left Foot'...Bale is one of the best actors of all time!!

Kareemah Ali, 'My Left Foot' stars Daniel-Day Lewis, not Christian Bale. It is an older film, been around for awhile. It is a good film.

That is ok - quite understandable. On this page doesn't even mention his name; it was a page back. I thought I had better tell you before you tried tracking down the film.
