Re: GERRY the movie!!

The Gerry sounds like some kind of a film re-interpretation of Waiting for Godot, or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

b.e. ellis vs j.d. salinger

some more reviews...

This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The trailer is the entire movie. The other 99 1/2 minutes are Matt and Casey walking....

Horrible, looks as if this film cost $50 to make and about 2 days to film. Only 2 "actors" with speaking parts. Just "artsy" slop...

This movie sucked! Can't believe Matt Damon would act in something this bad. I'd rather watch Michael Jackson get another nose job

God help me, I watched the whole movie. I fast forwarded it through the parts where they were just walking, or it was just showing scenery, nothing spectacular there either

Barreying down the road.*

The movie was like a Ford Festiva with a $50,000 paint job. I kept waiting for aliens to suck the wandering duo up into their spaceship, but it never happened. I'm sorry that I too was not born an intellectual, for maybe this movie would have been an awakening for my soul; instead it was just an awakening for my colon.

Re: What's your favorite movie?

I love the Movie "Andei Roublev" by Andrei Tarkovsky.

I love "The Matrix". I liked "The Matrix Reloaded". "Matrix Revolution" was okay.

The LOTR movies were fair to marginally bad, but I've been reading Tolkein since the sixties.

The HBO movie "Angels in America" I give it 5 stars out of 5.

As a child I was addicted to the movie "The Egyptian" For q while after I saw it I dress up in Egyptian drag with towels on my head and around my middle. Around that time my turtle died and I embalmed it for 70 days in Aqua Velva and wrapped it like a mummy. Just like in the movie.

Here is the truth: I also constructed an in ground tomb for my mummy turtle( cigar box) and filled it with all the little turtle stuff( except the bowl). And burried it in the back yard. My parents sold that house and we moved so I'm not sure what happened.

i'm not sure whether to find that endearing, clever, or alarming. at any rate, it'd be cool to know if the turtle tomb is still there.

Re: What's your favorite movie?

Seems I forgot to mention "Something Wicked This Way Comes", with the late Jason Robards and the first time I saw Jonathan Price (by far the best role I have seen him in). A truly excellent movie for this time of year!

Re: What's your favorite movie?

It's hard to name the best, but some good ones are 'Tetsuo - The Ironman' (Shinya Tsykamoto rules! Everything he does rocks!) and 'The Begotten'. Sometimes the big names manage to pull off a good one, as well. Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove' is pretty good. Ingmar Bergman's 'The Seventh Seal' is ok. Lynch's 'Eraserhead' is cool (not good, but cool).

Regards,

Re: What's your favorite movie?

Not sure I could ever put these in order:

Life Is Beautiful (the original in Italian with English subtitles)

Babette's Feast

Fried Green Tomatoes

The Long Walk Home

Shawshank Redemption

Sabrina (like the re-make better, but like the old one, too)

To Kill a Mockingbird

Roman Holiday

Broke Down Palace

(I am sure there are more, but you just asked for one and I couldn't stop.)

InPeace,
InLove

Oops--forgot these:

Being There

Hamlet (like Branaugh's, but Gibson's may be even better)

Much Ado About Nothing

The American President (enjoy that writer--trying to remember his name? Writes "The West Wing" also.)
