Of course, while I'm aware that you can learn as much from seeing a bad movie as you can from a good one, having a home theater projection set-up has made that decision a hell of a lot easier.Tom Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959628996361620134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-61444036513148716732008-08-28T04:32:00.000-07:002008-08-28T04:32:00.000-07:00Nice round up ken (of the films I recognised anywa...Nice round up ken (of the films I recognised anyway :D )<BR/><BR/>May I point out though that the original book of <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Yes-Man-Danny-Wallace/dp/1416918345/" REL="nofollow">Yes Man</A> has no Jim Carrey in, is incredibly funny, and has made me really want to see the film...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-62753999381931024232008-08-28T02:04:00.000-07:002008-08-28T02:04:00.000-07:00Is it too late to purchase a trademark for "NIXON"...<I>Is it too late to purchase a trademark for "NIXON"?

Sample dialogue: “Okay, let me get this straight. There’s a polar bear on the island? And a hatch? What hatch?”</I><BR/><BR/>That may be the exact dialogue, but for Hathaway, expect an strong, affecting performance. At least that what I hope for from Rodrigo Garcia, one of my favorite directors, who made this one. He's incredible with actresses, and the evidence is in "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her" where he got something out of Calista Flockhart beyond Ally McBeal, and "Nine Lives," where each segment was 10 minutes each, without cutting. Dakota Fanning gave her best performance, possibly ever, in that one, and Amanda Seyfried (currently seen in "Mamma Mia!") was haunting.<BR/><BR/>Basically, if any actress wishes to strengthen her talent, she goes to Garcia. His father, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, had immense talent in his novels, and he has his talent with this.<BR/><BR/>*Fawning fanboy praise off*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-38224473142258141262008-08-28T00:20:00.000-07:002008-08-28T00:20:00.000-07:00"What Just Happened" - Didn't Barry Levinson alrea..."What Just Happened" - Didn't Barry Levinson already direct a send-up of the producer's plight in "Wag the Dog"?
