I wanted to love Robin and Marian, Scrappy, and mostly did. All the performances were wonderful. What took me out of it, and I'm a little ashamed to say this, is that it was obviously filmed in Spain, and not England. Every time I'd sink into a character portrayal they'd step outside and ruin it. I'm shallow, I know.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
an excellent use of music
Oh yeah, not just the soundtrack, but the score itself was great, I thought.
if it had a better editor it could've been truly brilliant.
Heh, someone else complained about the editing. I didn't really notice.

I don't know what it is, but I feel like going to see The Backup Plan this weekend. For some reason it looks enjoyable to me, and I'm usually about as eager to see Jennifer Lopez flicks as I would be to attend the showing of Daughter of Horror in The Blob.

Compassionately intolerant
I like Crowe in Mystery Alaska. A dopey, predictable and yet sweet, movie. Oh, and Proof of Life also dopey, but not so much with the sweet. I mostly like it for the attached documentary about the K&R industry, of which I knew nothing before seeing that movie.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
YES!! But it's so odd because I ALWAYS forget that that's him. And I *adore* that movie. I own it. I cry every time his wife reads the poem he "writes".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I still like Russell Crowe quite a lot, even if he's a Souths supporter. And JZ has mentioned The Sum of Us, so I'm happy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I also liked him in Cinderella Man, which I may be the only person to have seen.

Mystery Alaska
"I'm sorry, your honour. I'm fat." I love that movie!
I remember the commentary for L.A. Confidential during the first appearance of Bud, and someone was saying that they had seen Rusty in Romper Stomper and was taken with his intensity, and wanted that first glimpse to be just this intense face, and people asking "who the hell IS this guy?".
I also have quite a soft spot for Rough Magic as a whole, though not the most well-written character.
I'll watch him in just about anything. Loved watching him in 3:10 (the whole movie was fabulous) and just seeing all this unsaid story going on in between the lines and looks.

Thrive to spite them
I like Crowe in The Sum of Us, Mystery Alaska, Master and Commander and LA Confidential.
I think I saw Proof too, but I'm fuzzy, was that the one with the blind photograher
oh and 3:10 to Yuma.

Matt,
I don't know what it is, but I feel like going to see The Backup Plan this weekend.
Peace be with you.
