I finally got my hands on King of New York. I really enjoyed it very much. It wasn't a great movie, but it did exceed my expectations. I really like Lawrence Fishburne's performance. I thought it was pretty funny to see him in that role

I'm VERY glad that I didn't see Darkness in the theaters. I had been wanting to see it and I borrowed it from a friend to watch and I just got done with it. Man, I was bored 30 minutes into it. I stuck with it to see it through but it was so boring/slow, stupid and predictable. The father goes crazy, the little kid just needed to be killed off in the first 15 minutes and the directing (which wasn't great) tried to make up for the lack of story. I'm not usually too picky on directing or story but this movie lacked both IMO and I don't know why Anna Paquin decided to be apart of this piece of sh*t?

Apart from when we can see his corpse breathing.

This is a good movie. Irons was awesome. I thought Ron Silver's portrayl of Dershowitz was very good too.

I took your recommendation of Collateral to heart and ordered it from my library. I'll post when I have a chance to see it. I'm looking forward to it if it's as good as you say.

I hope you love it. Make sure you listen to the commentary after, and all the special features.

The only problem is that I wish they included the life story profiles Mann wrote on Max and Vincent. He ventures into both of their lives in the commentary.

Citizen Kane - (Welles;1941;USA) - ****
The life of a newspaper tycoon told through a newsreel and people who knew him, all part of an investigation to find the meaning of his dying words.
One of the ten greatest films ever. Welles' amazing direction was decades ahead of it's time. Everything in this film is top notch. The acting, direction, music, cinematography-- everything. The definition of a masterpiece and a classic.

I had been wanting to see The Original Kings of Comedy for a couple of weeks now since a guy in my class would quote it. Some of the funniest stand up IMO. Very entertaining no matter how many times you see it

Just got done watching Citizen Kane on TCM. I haven't watched it in a few years, so it was rather exciting to get to sit down and watch it again, especially since TCM was airing it commercial free. I was mesmerized the whole time. I remember the first time I watched it, I didn't like it much. I completely grasped it the second time, and this time, I enjoyed it so much more. It's definitely moved further up my list. Excellent film.

As did I. It was my first time seeing the movie. Very, very good.

TCM is one of the best channels. Movies are unedited, restored, and are not interrupted.

The Magnificent Ambersons is coming on now. I haven't seen this film yet, so looks like I'll be stuck to my boob tube for another 2 hours. I heard its good, but not as great as Citizen Kane. I'm fixing to find out right now.

SPOILER MATERIAL INCLUDED

I just finished watching "Meteor" on tv. Despite a great cast (Sean Connery, Karl Malden, Natalie Wood and Henry Fonda) it was a cliche-ridden, predictable disaster movie (about a giant meteor taking aim at earth).

Made in 1979, I found two scenes almost "scary" to watch because of what later happened in real life.

1. The World Trade Center towers get blown away when a piece of the meteor hits NYC.

2. Natalie Wood almost drowns in a later scene.

The special effects are poor, as is the storyline, but its worth taking a look at if only for a few hours of escape.

I'm so happy that I just had to share this news. Apparently the Spider-Man series may not be over and done with after #3 comes out next May. Apparently Sony is thinking of making it a SIX movie series! Does it get any better than this!?

Six Spider Man movies?

Six Spider Man movies? [/b][/quote]Oh yeah, I'm excited And I'm sure I'm not the only 1

Rewatched Basic Instinct. I'm getting gradually more displeased with Douglas. Recently my another disappointment was The Game. He seems cold and rude at the same time in his acting. Maybe that's just my wrong mood, tho...

Rewatched CASABLANCA for the 5th time. I enjoy it more and more everytime I watch it. What a wonderful picture.


"Liebchen, ah, sweetness, what Watch?"
"Ten Watch"
"Such much?"

"You'll get along beautifully in America!"

I watched Frankie and Johnny last night. I didn't enjoy it that much, I think my expectations for it were too high I'll have to watch it again to give it a chance maybe it will grow on me.

I also bought Any Given Sunday so I will watch it sometime this weekend.

I LOVE Frankie and Johnny. I hadn't seen it in many years and it was on a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with it all over again. The cast is great.

Yeah it was a good cast and Al Pacino was good as usual

Frankie and Johnny is one of my fav

I placed an order for the DVD of Le Samourai, which is #1 on my to-see list.

I gotta find time to rewatch Zorba the Greek and The Searchers.

I have returned to my filmwatching ways after a worrying drought.

Dune [no stars] (1st Time)
1984, Lynch, US
The Atreides and Harkonnens battle on Arrakis for control of the spice mélange.
An incoherent mess. Verbose, convoluted, and mostly irrelevent, with only hints of the director's talent shown few and far between.

I'm watching "Wall Street" in my Economics class.

Spider-Man 2 was nothign great, but I was a huge spidey fan as a kid... I just hope they do something with Venom and Carnage in those six films.

I very much enjoyed this film watching it for the first time

I also have to watch it but I'm constantly putting it off. It isn't appealing at all to me....

very good one! What a cruel depiction of the financial world.....

On the contrary, I couldn't stand it....

I think Jim Carrey is Brilliant
