Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
Some movies don't have to be good to have a deep emotional impact. I'm going to guess that LeN should avoid Amistad on that criterion primarily.
Oh for sure. I'm just saying that it's not good enough to warrant feeling bad for not seeing it, if that makes sense, unlike the titles Dana mentions, which have cinematic merits beyond the subject matter.
I mean, Band of Brothers is just an amazing series. I get not being able to watch it, but that's a shame. Damian Lewis alone makes it worth it.
He really does.
I like Hook. Just saying.
Hook is the movie I was most dreading going into the project, although part of me thought it couldn't be as bad as I had heard. I would love to know what you thought worked in that movie.
Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins were the only redeeming features of HOOK. Hoffman somehow overplayed by underplaying and I loved it. He just seemed so depressed, like he'd signed onto something and realized, for once because it was Spielberg, he couldn't just bow out (see also the original premise of GET SHORTY).
I like Hook. Just saying.
Me too.
Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins were the only redeeming features of HOOK.
Yes I felt sorry for them. But even they cannot make up for the one-two punch that is Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts in the same movie.
RUFIO!!!!!
I like Robin Williams being silly and the whole Rufio plot was funny then sad and I was a kid? I do not have a very thought out reasoned argument. I watched it several times and enjoyed it thoroughly and would probably like it again out of nostalgia if nothing else.
I also feel this way about the Sandlot though I think it gets better press.
Yeah, my affection for Hook has a lot to do with my age at first viewing.
