SylvesterStallone Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I actually own the fucking soundtrack (the lame ass songs, not the score). And the DVD. I do too. I still listen to "Tonight is what it means to be young" on rare occasions. I love Verhoeven. Anyone seen Black Book?Saw it, loved it. His dutch films seem to be stronger than his american films...this is the case with a lot of foreign directors where their american work gets diluted to some degree in it's authenticity. I can't believe Verhoeven is wasting his talents on a Thomas Crown Affair sequel with Pierce Brosnan. Who was clamoring for that sequel? It's like the news of Val Kilmer being the voice for the knight rider car....what a waste of talent.i finally got round to watching john rambo today, i thought it was pretty good & pretty fuckin violentGlad you liked it. Nobody wields a .50 cal anti-aircraft gun quite like Sly. Great theater experience. I hope his version of Death Wish comes out even better...

SylvesterStallone Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 IT the TV movie was crappy compared to the book. That's to be expected though, the book was phenomenal and any film translation would have been inferior. Tim Curry as Pennywise scared the crap out of me as a kid though.

Angelica Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 http://www.imdb.comDirector Anthony Minghella, who won an Academy Award for directing the 1996 epic The English Patient, has died at age 54, his agent announced today. Variety reports that a spokesman for Mr. Minghella said he suffered a brain hemorrhage on Tuesday morning at Charing Cross Hospital in London, while in for a routine neck operation.A director who worked in theater and television (most notably for the series Inspector Morse and the lush, haunting The Storyteller series), Minghella made his feature film directorial debut with the ghost story/romance Truly, Madly, Deeply, which starred Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman. The film won Minghella a BAFTA award for his screenplay and effectively launched his film career. The little-seen indie romance Mr. Wonderful followed in 1993, but it was three years later that Minghella had his biggest success with The English Patient, an adaptation of the novel by Michael Ondaatje. Aggressively marketed by Miramax and arriving near the height of the independent film movement (though the film, with its epic scope, pushed the definition of indie filmmaking), the film became a surprise success, ultimately taking in $78 million in the US and winning a whopping nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture as well as Director and Adapted Screenplay for Minghella. Three of the film's stars, Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Juliette Binoche, were Oscar-nominated, with Binoche taking home the Best Supporting Actress award in a shocking upset over Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall.Minghella followed up that success in 1999 with the moody thriller The Talented Mr, Ripley, another book-to-film adaptation based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith. Though the film starred high-profile actors Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow, it was the then little-known Jude Law who walked away with the film with his role as a callow, rich playboy. The film earned Law a Best Supporting Actor nomination and Minghella another Adapted Screenplay nod. Minghella tried to replicate his successful literary adaptation formula with Cold Mountain, a high-profile version of the bestselling Civil War novel that, ironically, was filmed partly in Romania. Despite another big (and some said, overly aggressive) push by Miramax and a cast that included Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, Renee Zellweger, Natalie Portman and Philip Seymour Hoffman, the movie was considered a major under-performer, though it did earn $95 million in the US alone and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Zellweger. Major nominations for Best Picture or Director, however, failed to materialize. Minghella worked on a smaller scale with the London-based drama Breaking and Entering, which reteamed him with both Law and Binoche, and had just completed filming on The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, the pilot for a TV series based on the novel by Alexander McCall Smith. Beginning in 2000, Minghella also became a producer, with credits including The Quiet American, The Interpreter, and the recent Oscar winner Michael Clayton. In 2005, Minghella also staged an acclaimed version of the opera Madame Butterfly, which played at the English National Opera and the Metropolitan Opera.Minghella is survived by his parents, his siblings in the entertainment industry Dominic Minghella and Edana Minghella, two other sisters, his wife, choreographer Carolyn Choa, and two children, Max Minghella and Hannah Minghella. --Mark Englehart, IMDb staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge_And_Slash Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 DVDs. All brand new.Only thing I'm disappointed with were Goodfellas/True Romance and Heat was in one of those cheapo boxsets where they bundle random films together and call it "3 DVDs. Great Value Box" or whatever.But other than that, they're all awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar_legend Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 okay i need to know the name of a movie i saw on tv once.i only saw the first 20 minutes or so but heres what i remember:- its about high school students turning into vampires or werewolves (i cant remember).- its set in the 80s or early 90s. i think.- i could be wrong and mistaking this from another movie altogether but i think there was a scene involving vampires rising from the graves during the night and also a scene where two kids were making out in a car and then getting attacked by vampires and them driving and hitting the vampires while theyre trying to get away.

Angelica Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 They're dropping like flies this week... This one makes me the saddest. He had what was probably the single most sublime speaking voice ever.Actor Paul Scofield Dies at 86Paul Scofield, the imperious British actor of stage and screen who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Sir Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons, died Wednesday; he was 86. Scofield, who passed away at a hospital near his home in southern England, had been suffering from leukemia. Scofield began his acting career onstage, where it would always be centered, and he found his first successes in taking on a variety of Shakespearean roles during and after World War II. His towering presence and amazing performances quickly drew comparison to fellow thespian Laurence Olivier. While continuing his theater work, Scofield began appearing in a handful of films in the 1950s and early 1960s, most notably the John Frankenheim thriller The Train. In fact, he had only three films to his credit when he was asked to reprise his celebrated role as Sir Thomas More in the 1966 film adaptation of A Man for All Seasons, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Fred Zinnemann. The story of King Henry VIII's Chancellor of England, who refused to go along with the monarch's break from the Roman Catholic Church and was executed for it, the film was a sumptuous adaptation of the Robert Bolt play and a critical and commercial success, winning six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Director and Actor for Scofield.Despite his acclaimed Oscar success, the actor continued to work mainly in the theater, with occasional forays into cinema, primarily in stage-to-film adaptations; notable films in the 1970s included Peter Brook's version of King Lear and Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance opposite Katharine Hepburn. Scofield found the second role of a lifetime in the stage production of Amadeus, where he played the tortured and envious composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham would win an Oscar for the role in the 1984 film). Considered reclusive, a trait he would deny in many interviews, he hand-picked his film roles very carefully, appearing in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V and Frano Zeffirelli's Hamlet, and he received a second Oscar nomination, this time for Best Supporting Actor, for Robert Redford's Quiz Show. His last major film role was in 1996's The Crucible, which won him his third BAFTA award. Scofield is survived by his wife, the actress Joy Parker, whom he married in 1943, and their two children, Martin and Sarah. --Mark Englehart, IMDb staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
