Even got a puzzle to put together on line as well as separate web sites for the main characters. I became interested because of the cast...much of Sat Nite Live plus the Rock and my girl...Sarah Michelle Gellar playing a porn star!!!

He sure seems like one to keep an eye on, I was really impressed with what he did on DD. The Southland Tales site looked very intriguing. I wonder why the SNL cast would be involved?

Thanks, I'm going to keep my eye out for when that one comes on. I don't do DVD's but I get every movie channel know to mankind. Sooner or later it'll show up.

I understand it is basically a comedy despite the look of it!

Yeah I just noticed on IMDB that the genres it's listed under are Comedy/Musical/Sci-fi/Thriller.

Interesting blend!

Kelly is not Joss Whedon but he has some talent, and that is an excellent cast! I keep waiting for SMG to get the recognition she deserves, The Rock has come a long way from his WWE days and there are some very interesting other names there!

I liked the Stakeout movies with Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez. Alot of people found the movies unfunny. But I loved them

Five Star Derek 07-25-2006 05:49 AM

Uncle Buck

I loved John Candy

Falling Down w/Michael Douglas & Robert Duvall. Seems like nobody saw it, and those that did don't really remember it. I thought it was a good one.

"You forgot the briefcase!!!!" I thought that was one of his best movies.

Amanda Peet wasn't in Donnie Darko.

But she is hot imo.

Raising Arizona gets the most out loud laughs out of me than any other movie. A lot of my friends hate it with a passion.

Right, my bad, that was Igby Goes Down. Anyone seen that? Kind of an off beat one. Pretty good.

Oh my God, there are people out there who hate "Raising Arizona"???? That's positively un-American. Why do they hate our freedom??????

Hee hee hee. I LOVE that movie. I love Nic Cage so much more in comedy than drama.

ninetoone 07-25-2006 03:13 PM

I thought "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise was incredible. My wife just laughs at me...

Scuds -

The Fan is great, love it

I love Swingers, and everyone I talk too says it is stupid.

Okay, here's a story about what we'll accept and what we'll say is stupid in a movie-- "Air Force One" and "Face/Off" came out the same summer and I remember thinking "Air Force One" was just idiotic because the whole plot hinged on a Secret Service guy turning coat and in reality, that's one of the reasons they always travel in pairs-- so one of them never has the opportunity to betray his charges. So the whole movie was based on something that could never happen.

Mind you, I was perfectly willing in "Face/Off" to accept Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switching faces and no one noticing anything, not even the WIFE of Travolta's character.

Maybe I just like John Woo films.

I hated "Air Force One." Actually, I hate almost everything Harrison Ford has done in the past fifteen years. Especially "Regarding Henry."

I like Harrison Ford...but he's never come close to Blade Runner, then again...he's never had such a script!
