Go with Brazil.

Can't argue with that. Probably can't read, anyway.

To be honest, I still like Fahrenheit 451 more than Brazil.

Baley, do you just download films and music ALL DAY?

Fahrenheit is more of a fond memory, I suppose, I first saw it on TV a couple of years back, it probably kick-started my love for films.

V was better than average, but it was still nothing to ...remember....

V raised international awareness of Bonfire/Guy Fawkes night.

 

I can't wait until Snakes on a Plane.

The Boys from Brazil

 

Don't know if anyone here has seen that, but it involves a neo-nazi society trying to take over the world by producing hundreds of Hitler-clones and trying to raise them in similar circumstances (such as killing off all their fathers).

It is a well-known classic. Please refrain from posting your opinions of other posters (as per the ToS) and merely post your film critique.

 

Many thanks.

Ive not heard of that movie. Are we talking literally cloning Hitler?

Yes, it has Gregory Peck!

Cool, I might try to find this at the video store. Thanks for the link.

The Boys From Brazil is a good movie.

Someone implied that I said Natalie Portman is hot. I definitely did not say that. I think she has the potential to be a great actress, but I have never found her all that attractive. Honestly she looks too young to me, but again, I've been watching her in films since she was a young girl. She's not ugly, but she's just not my type. Sorry Natalie.

... Nor is she a good actress. (Okay, she was okay in Leon/The Professional, but that was child actress territory, and very few children end up making the transition to the adult arena.)

I thought she was okay in Closer, too.

Haven't seen it. The film looks a big yawn.

Come think of it, I can't quite remember what it was about, so you're probably right...

Closer was pretty icky. My wife pretty much glared at me for even picking it out. There was a lot of sex talk, but it wasn't edgy, it was just uncomfortable. It's also about people who can't be faithful to their spouses. I don't really get that.

I liked Natalie in Garden State.

I liked Natalie in everything I saw her in except, of course, the obvious...

It's based on a successful play. But the screenplay changed some of the fundamental aspects of the play (can't remember all the details off hand): I just remember that at the time of adjudication, when I had all the facts to hand, this was not a worthwhile film.

 

Infidelity is not patricularly new, noteworthy nor interesting.

Unless it happens to you

Even then.

Yesterday I finally managed to see Munich. I enjoyed it very much; Spielberg's way of dealing with multiple themes other than the main motive of the film shine trough, and the solid performance helped a lot. Even situations which may be considered pass
