You finally watched it; wasn't it good? Yes it was very slow-paced, but I enjoyed it and the book very much. Have you read the book, Antiquarian?
Nossa, "You've Got Mail" is a modern remake of the old film "The Shop Around the Corner" with Jimmy Stewart. I love both films. I have "You've Got Mail" on tape around here somewhere; need to watch it soon. It is quite entertaining,
Quote by TexJR:
TexJR, I love the movie "Black Hawk Down" - it was so amazing! I also love "The Green Mile" - best thing I think, ever done by Stephen King. I love the story and it does make one cry at the end.You might think this is stupid, but the only movie to ever make me cry is The Green Mile. But when I get married and have a daughter, I imagine I would have to give my life for her. But the end almost, I repeat that, almost, made me cry.
Today I held my 2 hour old grand-daughter for the first time. I know I would give my life for her. It was an incredible experience. I am so happy!
Oh, sorry about that TexJR - I am blind as a bat sometimes and tired out tonight....I edited it and changed them all...sorry again.

I watched Blue Streak. Slightly comical in some parts, but it was vaguely thought out.

TexJR, so sorry I called you by the wrong name. My mind was not all that attentive that day. I was expecting my first grandchild and I was rushed on the computer. I did go back and adjust my post. Sorry again, and welcome to the forum.

I last saw Becoming Jane, which was a really good movie... I scanned through the the ebooks version of Pride and Prejudice before watching the movie, and I don't know how much of Jane Austen's life was romanticized, but it was definitely relevant to her novels. And romantic.
I liked that movie too, but Anne Hathaway was a bit...American in the movie. Her British accent wasn't natural (if I can call it so). But overall the movie was good. James McAvoy is an outstanding actor.
I'm also not sure how much of Austen's life was depicted in the movie, but you can surely see the influence of certain events, mentioned in the movie, on her writings.

Just saw "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" again. All acting is fine; super cinematography. Remember reading that it was really hot when they filmed one summer in Miss. Clooney is excellent, and Charles Durning is extraordinary.
3 weeks ago, on the Manila-Amsterdam flight, I watched There Will Be Blood. I did not particularly relish it.

last week i watched 'i heart huckabees' and I adore it! one of the best movies I've ever seen!
i saw Grindhouse again. these two movies are inseperable. 4.0/4.0
The counterfeiters - Die Fälscher
2007
Based on the true events surrounding the biggest counterfeiting operation that has ever taken place. Set during the second World War, the best counterfeiter of the time (1936), Salomon Sorowitsch, is arrested and sent to a concentration camp, where his talent for sketching lead him to become 'favoured' and he is then sent to Sachsenhausen. Here, he becomes one of the more priviledges prisoners due to the fact that his gift at forging banknotes is acknowledged and put to practice in a makeshift lab, separate from the rest of the concentration camp.
Salomon is a very closed off man: he rarely shows any emotion for anyone else and doesn't care if his assistance as a counterfeiter is helping Germany during the war. He lives for the day, without worrying about the tomorrow.
In the end of course, things change.
What I particularly like about this film is that it showed, even slightly, some aspects of what went through people's minds at the time.
9/10
