Is Morgan Freeman really playing OPPOSITE Katie Holmes? Like, are they the stars of the show? And love interests?
Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Man, I'll buy an extra ticket if that's the case.
Freeman has been in some questionable movies (that Stephen King psychic aliens one and Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves also come to mind), but I think he's one of a small group of actors who always turns in a good performance even when the surrounding movie is crap.
Last night I watched Mrs. Miniver and Angels with Dirty Faces . I enjoyed both. MM was sorta sappy until the war stuff and then it was really good. I liked Public Enemy better than AWDF, but a good gangster movie is always enjoyable. I like when the TV season ends so the GF and I can catch up on all of our DVDs.

Pfft.
Okay, but Morgan did Hard Rain and Bruce Almighty, for crying out loud.
Because of the latter Emmett yells out, "God!" every time he sees Morgan Freeman.
Eh, he could do worse.

Which could be muy humorous if he ever sees Electric Company re-runs.
Or STREET SMART for that matter.
Eh, he could do worse.
He could yell, "God!" every time he sees Alanis Morrisette?

I liked Alanis as God. Though I think in her case he'd be obliged to yell, "Gawd!"

A being whose voice can destroy all of creation? Yup, she was well cast.
Oh, just those listening within the immediate vicinity...
