'Sleeper'
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.
I caught the first few minutes on Bravo or AMC and I figure with Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, how wrong could it go?
Do the titles Jaws 4: The Revenge and George of the Jungle ring any bells? Not that I know anything about The Quiet American, but neither actor is insurance against crapulosity.
I found George to be quite cute and funny, playing to Fraser's comic strengths. The Dudley Do-Right, movie, though, that's a stinker.
Yeah, my nine-year-old loves George. And I don't much mind watching Brendan Fraser shirtless, either.
I'm with AmyLiz, Brendan Fraser either shirtless or in period clothing is always pretty to look at. And, George, for those who grew up with the cartoon, was a wonderful romp that totally captured its namesake. I liked it. ::sticks out tongue at George detractors::
I really liked The Quiet American. In fact, I own it. It's one of those movies that will occasionally flash a visual on my mental screen, or I'll feel a mood evoked by it, usually unrelated to what's going on this-world at that moment.

I think I saw an interview where Michael Caine commented that he loved doing Jaws 4--or at least he loved the beach house that he bought with his paycheck.
The Quiet American is now in my Netflix queue.
I watched John Tucker Must Die last night. surprisingly? much better than i thought it was going to be. very funny in parts.
I just saw Idlewild, and was really disappointed. It was fine, but just... not great. The music wasn't that impressive, the story was kind of all over the place, just eh. I would say it's a cable watcher -- a perfectly fine way to spend a couple of hours, but not for $11.
I will say that both the person I was with and some of the other people in the theater liked it a lot more than I did.
Damn, I had hoped that it would be awesome.
Me too. How sad.
