Yes! So many people seem to lambast Neeson for his role in Star Wars - Episode 1, but he is one of my favourite actors. I'm also a mild fan of Dennis Quaid which causes me to be lampooned by my peers also.

i have yet to see a Dennis Quaid movie that was not top grade. in fact, if you check back a few dozen pages, you'll note that i watched both "frequency" and "the rookie"

i suppose i was won over with "Enemy Mine"..

Pretty low of Hollywood to doctor a story and change historical fact to suit an audience, to be honest.

Low? Yes. Atypical? No. They do it all the time. Pearl Harbor anyone?

Yeah, Christian Bale (Bale-American Psycho + Bale-Equilibrium = Bruce Wayne). Val Kilmer was in Batman 3 (the first bad one) Michael Keaton was in the first two (the second one being the best so far ... but soon to change).

So it is! They look very similar in the film, I got confused. Lets just be thankful it isn't George Clooney again!

Just got done watching Eye of God (1997, Nick Stahl)and Taxi (2004, Jimmy Fallon). Eye of God was a great movie. Doesn't seem like a whole lot of people know about it. Taxi was decent despite my low expectations. Decent humour and surprisingly decent car stunts. I would rate Eye of God 8/10 and Taxi 6/10. Ciao [addsig]

Watched Sopranos series 1 recently. Absolutely loved it, so much so that I bought series 2, 3 and 4. Just finished series 2 (which is also fantastic), about to start on 3.

I'm not really interested in watching American TV series' actually on TV tbh, since they tend to have so many episodes and it's too easy to miss out on one episode, scuppering the series for yourself. I still haven't seen any of the 24 series' though I know I'd probably enjoy it - the idea of having to catch an episode a week for half a year...

Also watched Saw on DVD yesterday. Very gruesome, much more so than Seven.

Get yourself onto play.com and pick up a series for only ?17.99 keved; they are really great and if you're anything like the people in my flat you'll get stuck into it and finish it in a week or so (4 episodes a night was our daily dosage for series three ). Probably best to start with series 1 if you do plan on getting them, as the later series' do contain spoilers on what happened earlier.

Yet he's actually a good actor (seriously). I think Batman and Robin was unfair to the cast. It was just so crappily made ... why is Mr. Freeze's suit powered by diamonds?

The thing I don't get is that normally, Val Kilmer just oozes cool, and you'd think playing Batman would be a perfect opportunity ... but no. Damn Joel Schumacher
. "We want to make it like the 60s TV show, like it was meant to be", I believe he said once. And the real kicker is that all his other movies are dark and f**ked up (like Batman should be ... along with Daredevil.)

Wilson, no it wouldn't. Are you forgetting who made it? Mr. ISuckAtMakingMovies himself: Michael Bay. [addsig]

Constantine is...decent. Visually it's spot on, and Reeves does a better job than I expected (even if it's still a bit sub-par). Still, he was at least likeable, and making such a cynical bastard likeable isn't always easy. A bit long though, and the tiny romance sub-plot was laughably half-arsed. I was glad that they didn't have the obligatory "make-out at the end of the movie" scene.

Was I the only one that laughed at "I need a mirror! At least...3 feet high!" It was just such a bizaare and random thing to say IMO. Obviously, if you knew why he needed one by reading the comics or something, you probably wouldn't think the same way.

Recommended if you need to kill two hours, at the very least.

I have no intention of ever watching that movie, but as a Kids in the Hall fan I have to ask about Mark McKinney's role in the movie. Does he earn his paycheck? Funny character or one of the boring foils to the "zany" antics of the Spice Girls?

Sorry Orph...but I found Taxi to be really poor. Full of every cliche in the book and I don't think I laughed once. Well, maybe one or two nose laughs but nothing to write home about.

I've been watching my Red Dwarf series 6 DVD over the last few nights, and its still as funny as ever. Also got the Little Britain charity DVD and Robbie Williams makes a suprisingly good 'lady'....

don't apologize. i hardly make anyone laugh around here, even when i think its a gut buster.

my humor is only one of many things i am segregated for.

that movie was clear full of my kind of humor. i also watched Sean of the dead. it sucked. it had even more of those clich?'s you mentioned. in fact, it was made up of nothing but. and look how well that movie was received around here.. so, go figure. *shrugs*

Heh, that's the beauty of Shaun Of The Dead though. We all know it's full of cliches and that's what makes it great - the whole film is a play on all the zombie films out there. I wouldn't go as far as calling it a spoof, but it's not far off. [addsig]

well, you know my *taboo* habits right?

well i no longer need to *taboo* movies from the net, i can *taboo* originals. and i refused to waste a DVD+R on it.. wasting a rental fee was waste enough :/

i'm sorry, it was just horrid.
