Spike/Harm ,'Help'
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 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 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.
I'm going tonight. Tickets are already bought.

Oh, that sounds like it could have been a really good movie. It still may be enjoyable, at least for the music.
I think lowered expectations will be your friend, Robin.
The other thing I noticed was the "black" preview reel -- two movies set in Africa, two in prison, one with Denzel.
Too bad about Idlewild.
Just had a Very Canadian Movie Session w/M. Hard Core Logo and Men With Brooms. I quite liked HCL, and LOVED Men With Brooms. Just loved
