All this movie talk has my craving a new flow.

What do you reccomend?

( The Rome reccomend was amazing although short lived as HBO milked the dvd run with 2 episodes a dvd. and season 2 of course isnt yet available)

VOLVER!

SEEKING!

Is Last King of Scotland on DVD yet? The Academy should have given Forrest Whitaker two Best Actor awards for that performance. It's that good.

Excellent movie and maybe my favourite actress too, even in supporting roles like this
I have the DVD and seen it several times and still love it
The whole female cast won at Cannes last year.
I always think Almodovar's movies won't be understood abroad, unless not completely

The new James Bond sucked. DOn't go there.

PANDURITO said:

My 2 favorite Almodovar movies have to be Law of Desire, Carmen is nuts in that, and of course Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

have you rented season one of "BIG LOVE" yet?

i'm all about that show. chloe sevigny rocks, and i have a wee crush on jeanne tripplehorn now.

plus mary kay place is on this show, so it can't be bad.

The only reason I have been holding off on renting this is BILL PAXTON. I'm not a Bill fan. I've liked a lot of movies that he's been in but his acting is so monotone to me. I HAVE heard great things about BIG LOVE though. I love Chloe.
I will rent it soon.

Women on the Verge... but I do also All About My Mother.

DiminutiveRocker said:

Yes!!! And LIVE FLESH. Oh boy, I think I love them all.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

yeah, he's kinda blah but i'll tell you what: his bare butt isn't, and it's a frequent guest star on this show.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I love Bill. Highly under rated like that other Bill Guy...Pullman.

superspaceboy said:

he was han solo in spaceballs, right? and he was in lost highway?

DiminutiveRocker said:

LOVE that movie!

DiminutiveRocker said:

Oh yes, that was good. How cool was it when the ghost of Penelope's mother asks how her breasts got so big? 'Cos you know that's what everyone was thinking.

Or at least I was anyway.

Hope I didn't spoil too much.

Anx said:

And Serpent and the Rainbow and Zero Effect. Come to think of it, he hasn't been in that many good movies since Lost Highway.

Last week I rented The Science Of Sleep with Gael García Bernal directed by Michel Gondry. I'd recommend that one. Cool effects in it. However I think I identified too much with Gael's character.

I watched The Cooler this weekend with William H Macy. He shows his butt a few times in that film. Is that good or bad?

DiminutiveRocker said:

Which is why I was really saddened by the end. It wasn't something that I felt I would do.

sextonseven said:

this went WAY over my head. so did the other gondry movie, "the unbearable schlubbiness of jim carrey" or whatever it was called

Great leads.... adding to my queue now! Has anyone seen Carnivale?

sextonseven said:

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I have. Kinda dry. My friend LOVED it though. Said it was very David Lynchy. I couldn't get into it.

Anx said:

Yes, Lonestar!!!

superspaceboy said:

i didn't like carnivale. it had a little bit of promise after the first episode, but it was a yawner after that. maybe i just don't like period piece series, i dunno. i didn't like deadwood either.
