Ernest, thanks for your insightful thoughts. They were a pleasure to read.
AI. is a favorite of mine, for many reasons. My thoughts about the movie parallel Ernest's quite a ways. However I agree with Alex, that the David we see after he first closes his eyes in the last act. may no...
Mikel, I Agree with you about Millennium, the movie is a real mess. but John Varly, the Author of the novel, (and short story it was based on), also wrote the screenplay. So he's as much to blame for it as anyone else is. IMHO it's his weakest work as a novelist. Read "Steel Beach" to see...
I second Jefferson's mention of the Gilliam trilogy. Would also mention the Hannibal Lecter Trilogy, (with Hopkins). Although actually five films now I'll also mention Kevin Smith's New Jersey "trilogy." Comprised by Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. (We can just pretend that Dogma and...
How about a remake of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" They could get Mel Gibson, and for the climax of the movie they could... Ah skip it. :D Actually there's been some not bad remakes of foreign films recently, The Ring and Vanilla Sky being two. I'm sure there is plenty of foreign...
Great Thread! Many I would have mentioned have been brought up many times all ready. I would also add: A.I. - The New York Scene, and the Bridge scene. The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen - The Dance scene with Uma Thurman. The Big Blue - Transition from Black and White to Colour. Blue...
Paul, Did BMO inform you where this car loan was? If you contact the loan holder they should be able to correct the info with Equifax, and provide you with something in writing explaining that you have no debt with them. This should be sufficient for BMO. There are a couple possibilities...
Paul, Used to live in Kamloops and have made the trip to Calgary on occasion. $330.00 isn't bad. The last time I flew at Christmas it was about $500.00 for the same trip. Air Canada / Jazz uses Central Mountain Air for this route. Small 18 seat twin turboprop Beech craft. If you get...
Well,
Just about anything by Gilliam including 12 Monkeys, the Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Brazil.
Of recent movies I'm surprized Vanilla Sky didn't get more buzz. Not being a huge fan of Tom Cruise, I think It's his best work so far. I thought the movie was well crafted.
I...
My two cents, (one cent U.S.)... 1. Lawrence of Arabia 2. the Fellowship of the Ring 3. the Fifth Element 4. the Phantom Menace 5. Moulin Rouge Honorable Mention: Shrek S.
Just saw a Triple feature disk at the local Wal-Mart that had "Nosferatu", "Phantom of the Opera", and "Metropolis" on it. Anyone know anything about the quality of these disks? Thanks, S.
1. The first disk you should pick up should be a Calibration Disk like Avia or Video Essentials. You can put the best looking or sounding movie in your player but if your system isn't set up properly, you'll never know just how good the source material is.
2. Lawrence of Arabia - If you...
Well, It depends on what your into...
If it's skiing there's always Sun Peaks at Kamloops or if you want to travel a little further Panorama at Invermere, but if your goin to travel you might as well just go to Lake Louise and ski with the big boys. If you've really got to stick close to home...
If I were to guess as to the cause of LOTR Hysteria, I think a big part of it is that people familiar with the story have seen enough of it to know that the whole thing will be something truly grand. Fellowship is not the best movie ever made, but when the three Movies are completed and viewed...
