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.
At least the somber stillness of his visage is a matter of choice, which can't be said for a couple of the female performers here, who don the plastic surgeon's ghoulish mask of Botox, collagen, eye lifts, and cheekbone implants.
Feh. All of the women in this film look terrific, and give great performances.
We watched Robin and Marian last night and it was as wonderful as I remembered. It's a lovely exploration of mature love and myth and also lots of fun with a killer cast (Nicol Williamson will break your heart). I hadn't seen it since college, and remember being impressed with the way the film makes the romance and the sexual tension real between the "old" leads. Last night I realized Sean Connery was 45 and Audrey Hepburn 46 when they made the film...younger than I am right now. Yikes!

Do they look their natural ages?
From Wizard News:
Ralph Fiennes on Lord Voldemort
Ralph Fiennes, who plays Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, says he's committed to appear in Order of the Phoenix, which starts shooting in January. Of course, the question is whether Fiennes will stick around for the last movie, assuming that Voldemort will play an even bigger role in the finale.
I just finished reading GoF last week and... there was not that much Voldermort, at least less than what I expected. At least, we won't get to see Fiennes's actual face as such, as he'll probably be covered in layers of prosthetics. What a pity.
While we're on the subject of Fiennes, I just came across the trailer for his next movie, Constant Gardener. It looks rather good.
I thought so too, Vonnie.
I think The Constant Gardener looks good too.
Yeah. Fiennes, back in Africa, all covered in dust and torment. Yumm.
Signed, still loves The English Patient to bits, despite the backlash.
It looks a little close to a sensitive First Worlder cliché to me. I'm thinking I'll try and find the book first.

Also one of the most agonizing sword fights I've ever seen. Every move looked like it took monumental effort.
