Shanghai Knights

Funny about previous comment...

The last movie I saw was Under the Yum Yum Tree...bwahahahahahahahaha...

Bend It Like Beckham

It took me a long time to decide to watch this film, since I'm not a Manchester United supporter and he was still playing for them when it came out, but I like it...

Cars

Hairspray, again and not for the last time!!!
BRILLIANT as well as the OST!!!!

We watched LOTR The Two Towers last night!! Poor Michael not only had he not seen the first one but i'd been on IMDb and was spouting trivia all through the film!!!

Ok, forgot last night.

LOTR The Two Towers

ghost rider

love it

actually I enjoyed ghost rider, harmless fun lol

Glad I'm not the only one that does that!!!!!

Liar Liar - hilariously funny, especially the outtakes after the film's finished..

:DHot Fuzz... Funny terrifying, sad, twisted, action packed, weird and just bloody brilliant...what a laugh....:D

The first hour or so of The World Is Not Enoughbefore I got too tired to concentrate...

Now watching The Prestige again to see if I can spot all the clues this time...

Fracture...pretty good...

... Fatal Vision ...

Libel... an old movie with Olivia De Haviland...pretty good - they don't make movies like this anymore...

Erin Brockovich - one of my favourites

Cruel Intentions - one of my favourites

Atonement with Keira Knightley

Very good, I recommend it :heart:.

... still Fatal Vision... but what the hey... i'm working toward my 9000th post so there ya goooo... hahahahha... hic...

The Silence of the Lambs

Lord of the Rings The Return of the King I loved it, now i think i need to watch them all back to back i did that with the Matrix trilogy and it was brilliant!!!

God I hope I'm back home by then, third one was wayyyyyyyyy too long, waste of a good 2hr film

typical Jackson film then lol

Wishcraft with :heart: Meat Loaf :heart:

Watching this at three in the morning is not advisable... It scared the living daylights out of me, thus making me not wanting to go to sleep :shock: !!!

A bunch of old Russian children's movies I watched as a child...

well, in that case you should be lucky you havent watched Pelts at three in the morning

Hannibal Rising and it wasn't good :shock:

It generally wasn't worthy of being connected to the Anthony Hopkins trilogy but what I found really confusing was the acting. The film opens during World War 2 so there's British, German, Russian and French characters, but the actors have (in my opinion) done such a crap job with the accents that it's impossible to a)understand the speech and b)follow who's who

is it still worth watching though?
Thought about renting it, but so many people say it's bad and I dont want to watch it just because its a Hannibal movie.

From what I remember of one of the books, he is supposed to be somewhere from Latvia or something...at least that's what I thought...but accents besides British probably sounded all the same...

General guildelines:

1. If it's HARD rolling "R" - it's Russian
2. "R" isn't pronounced right at all...could go either way...German or French...

The French, the Russians and the Germans in the film all had British accents, the one Japanese woman had an American accent. And I'm sure the Wolves were howling in Welsh!!

luckily enough sean has never been accused of that

It was just awful, they either needed to get actors of the appropriate nationalities or not bother, you could pick up a good three accents per sentence throughout

Even if Russian accents sounds right in some movies...Russian parts for some reason are played by Pollacks and the accent is quite different...and when Pollacks speak Russian I roll on the floor laughing while everybody else is impressed with the authenticity of the language...

The best Russian by foreign actor?

Believe it or not...the prize goes to Matt Damon...

I like it how only "R" for some reason figures in this or that accent...as if it was the only letter in the alphabet...and I LOVE Russian hard rolling "RRRRRRRRRRRRR"...since I myself can hardly even pronounce it...

you think THAT's funny?
Everytime a German appears in a movie (and they have understanding problems), in the German synchronisation they're sudenly either Dutch or Danish.
And if somebody 'pretends' to talk German its mostly some gibberish with a fake accent, or it sounds like the text was translated with google translation. lol

More or less the same with Russian...can't figure it out...I am sure at least in America we have plenty of both Russian and German wannabe actors for those small parts...

yes, plenty of germans with small parts lol :twisted:

I just LITERALLY :oops:

it even happens with big hollywood movies.
You should think if a Spielbirg film has a budget of how many million $ they should have enough money to hire someone to do a proper translation. lol

The thought occured to me too...LA area is full of all nationalities actors...

:heart::heart:Outside Ozona - Meat Loaf :heart:

I saw this the first time last night and I love this film, Meat's great in it :cool:.
Might have to rewatch it later :heart:.

a recent movie where they did a really good job was the da vinci code.
Hired actors of the different nationalities, and half the movie they spoke in their native language, with subtitles.
Even if that makes it a littler harder to follow the storyline, at least the movie's credible this way.

Don't even start me on books...:roll:

In Robert Ludlum's (Bourne whatever) Matarese Circle, one of the main characters (male) is called Krupskaya...

1. It's a female name
2. The name doesn't exist
3. It was made specifically to be a pseudonim for Lenin's wife
4. She was the only one who actully ever had that name and it wasn't her own anyway...

If they bothered to stop one Russian on the street and ask them their opinion about using this last name...they would have received the same answer as above...i.e. do NOT use it...especially for a male...

Shall we dance?

I can only do the hop at the mo lol

Yeah, well...you need arms for balance...so...how about some slow sultry crawl??? :lmao:

Monty Python and The Holy Grail

Contact

Was very disappointed with that one. Read the book at first a few years ago and it took a while till I saw the movie, but they took all the interesting parts out. All the parts that make you think were edited out and it became nothing but another boring sci fi movie.

Powder. I love that movie. Scared hell out of me first time I watched it, but now I love it.

Red Dragon ... restored the faith in Hannibal Lecter and highlighted even more plot holes in Hannibal Rising!

Rat Race

Ralph Fiennes makes such a good villain... in this and in Schindler's List...

Red Dragon was brilliant, I enjoyed it as much the second time as I did the first, still made me jump out of my skin! :p

Disturbia...worth seeing

Have just bought Sleepers on dvd (have the vhs, it's a very good film..) and The Number 23

3.10 to Yuma...really good, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are great in it.

how was it? Seen only trailers so far, but they look promising

Rear Window basically...not bad...

First half of it is really really slow but the last 40 minutes are good.

Agreed

Hubby likes his Westerns, may have to go and see that one...

Crazy in Alabama was on

Valentine and Disturbing Behaviour

but I fell asleep during both films :oops:

me too, and it was really really really really really really really really bad.
Only watched it cause I was half drunk and half asleep.

Wild Hogs

Twin Town

Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley

... Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band ... what a fun flick... lots of peeps in it... who in the world would think to come up with such a huge celeb choir for the grand finale ... Carol Channing and Tina Turner..?.. in the same choir ???... can't beat it with a stick... and Peter Frampton... he used to be so cuuuuute... :-) .... i had fun watching it... my husband truddled off for his morning snooze... lol... he wanted to watch The Babe... another film i adore... BUT I WON !!!.... hehehe ...

National Treasure

I just a VERY scary movie...

Notes On a Scandal...

This is what I would call a horror movie...

3:10 To Yuma - enjoyed it but didn't think the ending was overly realistic... then again, it was a movie...

followed by:

Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Devils rejects, and it was soooooo awful! Made me feel sick:(

Snakes on the plane. I'm not a lover of snakes, i thought parts of the film was a bit tongue in cheek, but on the whole i actually liked it. (how sad is that)

"Shut Up and Sing"

I am undecided. Is this a "freedom of speech" issue, or simply an unfortunate attempt at "playing" to the audience with tragic results?

Atonement - was excellent.

(Lynne what a lovely avatar!)

Last film was (I think) Silence Of The Lambs again...such a brilliant film but the accent on Jodie Foster makes me wanna be alone in a prison cell too!

True... but it's better than Julianne Moore's attempt to do Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling accent in Hannibal... Which incidentally was the last one for me...

Don't spoil it lol, that's next on the list to complete the four part trilogy :))

Okay, I won't spoil it, except to say the special effects with Krendler (Ray Liotta) at the end are superb...

Yeah I know, I've seen it a couple of times before :))

Has Hannibal been on TV? I can't think why I've only seen some of it, and I mean that genuinely, I'm not pretending to have not fallen asleep during the DVD! :p

Does it have a really bad accent? :?

You did fall asleep through the DVD, and all the extras and the re-run of the fil on the DVD with the directors commentary playing, you only woke up when I opened the Dairy Milk bar!

Ha bloody ha...that is not true! I seem to remember seeing it years ago, I wonder if it was a promotional thing or a preview I saw because I certainly don't know the ending

I won't argue, but it is ... we've watched it in the last 12 months :p

Have we :?

The last mvie I saw was Lyrics and Music with Hugh Grant in it... Also I saw Mr Beans Holiday :-)

Halloween.. totally a waste of time, bad, bad remake... prefer the original

mr beans holiday...cool film

New Resident Evil, completely crap

is that the one rumoured to be the first horror movie filmed entirely at the light of day? or was that another one?

Secret Window - Johnny Depp... sluuuuuuurp...

Run Fat Boy Run ... literally cried with laughter at the fight scene, so childish, but hilarious!

last thing i watched was the family guy movie

The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen).

Academy award winner for best foreign language film. Thoughtful, frightening, stunning!

fantastic film! best german film in ages, and even more frightening when youre coming from the country (GDR) where it all happened.

hank Redemption ... we did only see the last half of it :))

Prior to that it was Hannibal, which was much better this time round than I remember it.
