That IS a great line.

OK, big movie weekend:
National Treasure - Book of Secrets - It was so-so. I just couldn't buy the intellectual intuitive leaps being made by the Nicholas Cage character. I suppose they were supposed to be Holmsian. Plus I was totally distracted by whatever weird thing was happening with Cage's hair. It's like it never moved, or something. Hard to describe.

Labyrinth - David Bowie meets Jim Henson. Classic stuff! I could totally buy Bowie as the King of the Goblins much better than Nicolas Cage's intuitive leaps. [:D]

Rescue Dawn - Excellent. Christian Bale as escaping POW in Laos. Great survivial movie. Another good movie of that genre is Touching the Void: replace leeches and Vietcong with subzero temperatures and failing faculties (and add broken leg to boot, no pun intended).

We Are Marshall - Also excellent. Based on true-life story of Marshall University's recovery from loss of its entire 1970 football team (including staff and fans). Great acting (and authentic 70's wardrobe).

That just pissed me off so bad. I resisted seein that bullshit until wifey kept saying 'we gotta see it 'cause I gotta return it soon'. 3 putrid hours of my life that I'll NEVER back. What the fuck was the fucking point? Fucking horrendous. I have only myself to blame though, sitting through that drek after having seen what crap the second one was even. Holy hell. [:(!]

<p align="justify">You're not familiar with Jean Rollin. He directed a few zombie movies back in the late 70s and early 80s. One of the last movies I saw was by him is called [i]The Living Dead Girl[/i]. I think he also directed [i]Night Of The Hunted[/i], starring Brigitte Lahaie (pr0n model/actress)[}:)]

It doesn't get any better than Master of the Flying Guillotine. Guys with long arms, Masters with one arm and of lets not forget the old guy with the flying guillotine hat.

Loved the third [i]Bourne[/i]. I'm not really an action fan, but these Bourne movies are awesome, edge-of-the-seat goodies.

Last night was [i]Ocean's Thirteen[/i]. I liked it, but it was so cluttered with so many gadgets and excuses to show how cool the guys were, it was almost too much. BUT--ALL my favourite older hot actors together in one movie--Al Pacino, Andy Garcia, and Clooney. That's hot.

[i]Erik the Viking[/i] was good for some silliness reminiscent of Monty Python.

Yeah! I lent my Story of Ricky to a guy at work and have yet to see it. Hey, you should watch Old Boy! Sounds like it might be your type of flick. Has one of the best fight scenes i've ever seen.

<br>Just watched a movie called .45, which featured a standout performance by Milla Jovovich's nipples.[/quote]

However, she will be beat at Oscar time via the career-launching performance by Marisa Tomei's nipples in the movie I saw last night, "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead."

<br>"The Changeling" with George C Scott. Ghost story from around 1980. Not bad, not great. Definitely some good creepy moments.</br>[/quote]

I first saw this sometime around 1981-82. Scared the crap out of me. Still does. Think it's a classic, personally -- one that's never been rivalled.

Saw National Treasure 2 Book Of Secrets a couple days ago and I liked it. Just finished the dvd Balls Of Fury, it might be the lamest movie I've seen in a while. Fortunately it's through Netflix and I didn't buy it.

Watched the Criterion edition of Goddard's "Breathless" on Friday. Hadn't seen it since college. Quite a good film and the commentary on the bonus disc was really interesting.

On Saturday, watched "The Detective Story" with Kirk Douglas on Turner Classics. That was a great great movie. Followed that with "The Woman in White", also on TCM. It was billed as a creepy ghost story/mystery. But it wasn't. What is was: too long and too dull.

"Sweeney Todd." My goodness: Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman in the same movie. I could feel myself ovulating when they were on the screen at the same time. [}:)]

*GUH*
Me want to see [i]Sweeney Todd[/i] now. Literally, NOW. Unfortunately all the local movie theaters are closed. Bah. Maybe tomorrow? Nah, want to see [i]Atonement[/i] first, even though it contributes to my personal guilt factor re: the whole unfair thing about Parminder Nagra only being able to score a role on an ensemble TV drama while Keira Knightley gets all the starring Hollywood roles now. But hot damn does [i]Atonement[/i] look good.

Also, just got confirmation from my Johnny Cash-adoring friend that [i]Walk Hard[/i] is totally fine by him, so will definitely have to see about renting it once it comes out on DVD.
