I'm sure it changed with the recasting... but the elements off Prince are there, seducing flight attendants, a pop star... costumes... a kind of faux femme persona...okay maybe that's it.

I agree the larger than life persona could be associated with Prince, but off-stage Prince is always so shy and reserved! it's like a reputation not a reality that inspired the role

I agree, it's his "Prince" persona. not his real Prince Nelson self.

FAST FIVE - gets a 3.5/5 from me.

I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong, however there was not enough racing...and I felt it borrowed heavily from the following films:

The Italian Job

XXX

Oceans 11

It worked though; also it had chocolate (Tyrese) and Caramel (The Rock) so visually it was stunning.

Incendies (2010) - Siblings discover their mother's secret past after her death. 1/2

The last movie I watched was "The Human Centipede". I'd rate it a 7/10.

Movie before that, was "Seed" - another horror movie. That, I'd rate a 8/10.

8/10, maybe 7/10. Mostly very good, some thinks bothered me a bit, can't really point them out, though.

POM Wonderful presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011) - Documentary about product placement and advertising in films entirely funded by product placement and advertising. Lighthearted and very funny. I loved it. 1/2

(This review was in no way paid for by POM Wonderful presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.)

The last movie I watched was the M. Night Shamalyn movie Devil. It was very good up until about the last 10 minutes when it got unbelievably sappy and cheesy and I wondered then, what the hell has happened to M. Night who used to be such a genius with Signs and The Sixth Sense? I think he's lost it. The movie would have been great had he not decided to end it with such a cheesy ass twist. Hated the ending.

Saw this one yesterday. It's good not great. Much better than last one. It's fun-but don't think to much or you'll ruin the fun.

Over the weekend:

Red (2010) - Retired CIA agents find themselves on a hit list.

A Matter of Life and Death (1946) - British WWII pilot appeals to the afterlife to remain alive because he has fallen in love after his death was overlooked. 1/2

Age of Consent (1969) - Australian artist finds new inspiration for his work in a young woman on a tropical island. 1/2 Young Helen Mirren naked:

Hitman (2007) - In the center of a political conspiracy, Agent 47 becomes a target. Awful.

That sounds really intriguing.

Idenity - 4/5 held me in suspense all the way to the end.

1/2

That was one of the bleakest movies I've ever seen. Javier's Oscar nomination was well deserved though.

Secret of Kells 3.5/5 The animation style made it a bit hard for me to get into, plus the accents

The animation style is fantastic! I liked the movie more than WALL-E or How To Train Your Dragon. And what's with you and Irish accents?

sextonseven said:

ZombieKitten said:

Sorry but I was never a fan of animation until 3D stArted suspending my disbelief for reals. Irish accent? You do realize that it's the same actor I couldn't understand in In Bruges that is the abbot in this movie?

A graphic designer not into animation--I suppose I've heard of stranger things. I'm the opposite, I find 2D animated films like The Secret Of Kells, Persepolis and The Illusionist to be much cooler than any of the 3D Pixar stuff.

Is your problem with just Brendan Gleeson or the other Irish actors as well?

Anne Frank - The Whole Story (2001)

director - Robert Dornhelm

starring - Ben Kingsley as Otto Frank

Brenda Blethyn as Anne Frank

Although (it is written) there are a few factual inconsistency in this film version, I feel the details of the time lived in "the attic" allows the story to seem even more plausible. The way the story unfolds one can view a less abstract understanding of the individual personality struggles that took place from, July 1942 to 1945 in the "attic."

Ben Kingsley does a great job in his portrayal of Mr. Otto Frank. He seems to have embodied a stalworth fatherly figure. The characterization displayed how Mr. Frank patiently carried the great weight upon his shoulders, as he held together and supported the extended family in the attic. Brenda Blethyn added to the great acting in this mini series. I found a VHS copy at a recca stowe in my area.

(I refuse to relinquish my VHS player. . VHS helps keep my classic couch ultra classic)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I rate the movie : great acting,

(same) historical and location accuracy.
