I can't stand Nicolas Cage and the only thing I can remember of his that I ever liked was Guarding Tess. It sounds good and you've convinced me so I'm gonna try and watch it.

I love Nicolas Cage and have seen every movie he has been in. I am glad my post on Lord of War has made someone curious to see it. They moved heaven and earth to get the UN to agree to getting the Tanks and trucks and antiaircraft guns out of mothballs. I think it was in Russia. They went to great lengths to make this movie authentic.

I watched The Thirteenth Floor today.  I was rivetted the whole time!

I think the last DVD i watched was Phantom Of The Opera. One of my personal favorites! Either that or the Crowded House documentary on their dvd. Can't remember which one came last!

INSIDE MAN

One of THE best movies I have watched for a long long time. Spike Lee does nothing by halves.

Stars...

Denzel Washington     ....      Detective Keith Frazier     
Clive Owen     ....      Dalton Russell     
Jodie Foster     ....      Madeline White     
Christopher Plummer     ....      Arthur Case     
Willem Dafoe     ....      Captain John Darius     
Chiwetel Ejiofor     ....      Detective Bill Mitchell

Tagline:  It looked like the perfect bank robbery. But you can't judge a crime by its cover.

Willem Dafoe plays a very minor part compared to all the other's listed above. This movie was a mystery and a thriller rolled into one.  
Very clever and a couple of twists at the end.

My verdict 5 out of 5. I no sooner finished watching it and I wanted to watch it again.

Roy Orbison - Black and White Night

It featured a young and very sexy Bruce Springsteen and an equally young k.d. lang.

Penn & Teller - 'Bullshit !'  ......series 1, 2 & 3 .

love their stuff

"SIN CITY"
I know it has been out for ages BUT.... just never had the inclination. My son demanded I watch it with him today. It was very cleverly done and very interesting. He commented it was on a par with "Pulp Fiction" but I would not go that far. If you watch it as it was intended to be watched (a comic book come to life) and take all the action with a grain of salt (especially when the characters are shot dozens of times and still don't die) then it is most enjoyable.

Firewall (Harrison Ford), Flightplan (Jodie Foster) and Inside Job (Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer).  I enjoyed all three (even the latter, despite the frequent and unnecessary use of the "f" word).

INSIDE MAN One of THE best movies I have watched for a long long time...

Agreed!

Pirates of the Caribbean-Dead Man's Chest!
Loved it, rollicking good fun and Johnny Depp never disappoints me.

'The Fast and the Furious-Tokyo Drift'

If Margaret Pomeranz can love this movie... then so can I! Lucas Black was first seen by me in 'Slingblade' 10 years ago now. He hails from Alabama so his southern drawl would not of been hard for him to exagerate. Lucas is now 24 and acting his bum off. Tokyo Drift was not a huge story but the thrill of watching the cars racing and the music thumping was great. It was the old story of 'Bad boy turned good wins the girl in the end' not much of a stretch for the mind but visually I loved this movie and when I went to bed I was racing cars around a multi level parking garage in Tokyo Japan! Fun to watch and the actor Sung Kang who plays Han was in Standoff recently and is gorgeous! As is Lucas who I imagine we will see onscreen for many years to come.

I watched 'Mean Creek' not long ago (Rated MA for Strong Coarse Language and Strong Themes) starring Rory Culkin. Eventhough I didnt like some of the language used, it was still quite an influential and powerful movie.

Here's a plot outline:

Quoted Text

It all begins in a small Oregon town, when shy Sam (RORY CULKIN) confesses to his protective older brother Rocky that he is getting pummeled daily by the towering school bully, George. Together, they plan the perfect payback, inviting George on a birthday river trip tailor-made to end in the bully's humiliation. Rocky's pals Clyde and Marty and Sam's budding girlfriend Millie also join the journey, which starts almost immediately with misgivings. Seeing George in a new light, as a lonely kid desperate for friendship and attention, Sam wants to call the whole thing off. But the boat and the plot are already in motion, and no one can foresee the surprises and accidents that are to come.

Also recently watched a movie called 'Red Eye'. Gripping stuff!

The past few days I've watched:

Welcome to the Jungle: 2/5
Scary Movie 3: 3/5
Shaun of the Dead: 3.5/5
Bush Mechanics: 3.5/5
The Longest Yard: 3.5/5

Muriel's Wedding 7/10

(I saw it on TV, but can we make an exception? )

It was very camp, and I don't understand why, but I have a certain fondness of kitschy things.
