Skatalie Portman and that boy can not act their way out of a wet brown paper bag which has turned pulpish.*






* - except her little turn in Cold Mountain which was fabulous work.  Her Oscar nomination for Closer is laughable.

she was great in Beautiful Girls. the guy was fine in Shattered Glass. Sam Jackson has been known to act. Apparently, even Ewan MacGregor keeps getting work for some reason.

I think this movie is an excellent example of a cast giving up.

George should have stuck to story outlines and left screenplays to others (like he did with Empire and Jedi)

Did anyone here see the midnight release of the film?
Yeah.  I went with a group of about 40 people.  We had a guy waiting in line overnight to hold the spot.

:yes:

I dunno. Episode I was just boring; it wasn't really good or bad. I didn't mind Episode III too much, but I make up for it with my irrational hatred of Episode II. Seeing R2-D2 fly across a factory was very nearly the moment I burned any and all pieces of Star Wars memorabilia in my possession. Episode II had no acting, no plot, stupid fan service moments, and to date, is the ONLY movie I've EVER walked out of, wishing that I could reclaim the hours of my life wasted watching that godawful piece of garbage.

And considering this includes Paul Blart: Mall Cop, that's saying a lot. ;)
Experience bij!

It takes an Alec Guiness to make Lucas's dialogue sound good.

She wasn't in Cold Mountain.
I would have noticed.

The war widow that tries to hitch up with jude law and save him from the evil yankee patrol iirc.. though I might be mixing up movies
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I don't really care about them but they weren't that good. Story was meh and acting horrible in all of them. At least the later ones had better effects.

Huh?  Damn you really must prefer Highlander 2.
