My wife rented "Prisoners" today. Hugh Jackman was excellent as the distraught father.
I could see my self doing similar things if one of my kids were taken. Jake Gynthal's acting was ok but not fantastic but it may have been the character he was playing. The ending was not what I was expecting. |
Old aviation documentaries:
'Ways of a Warrior- the Jimmy Doolittle story'. Fascinating. 'Whittle- the jet pioneer'. Equally so. |
"A Man and his Dog" - good one TW....I remember when it was reviewed by Siskel and Ebert. A young Don Johnson.
Also one of my favs. with Don Johnson...."Dead Bang" <iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vI9MhG4pyv8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Memorable lines
A lot of the movies listed here have them, like "may the force be with you"..
"I coulda been a contenda" ..."You can't handle the truth" ...."What are yootes?" (from My cousin Vinny) This year I liked ..."Look at me, look at me!..I am dee Captain now!" |
TV alert.........."Jaws" is on AMC right now - it's a marathon - they are running all the sequels as well.....
Da dum.....da dum.....da dum..... |
I just saw "Another Earth" . It wasnt bad

Rhona Mitra in "Doomsday" (2009) Sci-Fi flick I watched on FXM last night....
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cKVBRdfNwy...onaMitra_2.jpg What a movie!!!!! Cross between "Mad Max 2 Road Warriors", "Max Max 3 Beyond the Thunderdome", and "The Omega Man". And Rhona reminded a LOT of Kate Beckinsale in "Underworld" and "Van Helsing". GREAT movie - watch if it you can! <iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/i5pR65wO7PA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
You know I prefer offbeat movies. Like this one:

Head's up!
Flipped through the channels to get away from all the Fort Hood stuff and found that "Doomsday" is on again right now - on FXM. An encore viewing at 10:30pm EDT!!! |

Worth buying the DVD, Z.
Right now watching "3:10 to Yuma" on Cloo.... Quote:
Almost hard to recognize Peter Fonda as the hardened Pinkerton agent: http://www.therpf.com/gallery/data/8...mcelroy-02.jpg |
"We Were Soldiers" is on right now.
AMC - started about a half hour ago. |
Second Hand Lions is a pretty good story. Robert Duvall and Micheal Caine.

Yes.....both of those movies with actors who are legends...Caine, Connery, and Duvall. Just think of all the incredible films they have starred in over the years....a few notables for me are "The Great Santini", "The Ciderhouse Rules", and "Highlander". Trvia question (no fair googling) - which famous actor actually played Kipling in TMWWBK? ======= "We were Soldiers" is a hell of a movie- I've seen it several times and love it. Mel Gibson and Madeleine Stowe are really great as well as Greg Kinnear, Sam Elliot, and Barry Pepper. ====== Remember this one? Here's the music score by John Williams and some highlights from the 1979 classic by Steven Spielberg. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/C9DQ4iGmDGE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Baz: Pretty sure it was Christopher Plummer

Good call TW. I thought his role was performed wonderfully in the movie, and deserved some recognition in the thread. SmileWavy |
It's been a while. i remember being surprised at the big name/small part.

If you like VERY dark films like I do, American Psycho is a hoot.
