Hollywood: Favourite Movies, Actors and Awards. Tinseltown reviews & Gossip

Bassett deserved an oscar for her role as Malcolm X's wife, not Halle and her bullshit.

Yeah. Oscar recognition would be better though. All she got was one crummy nomination for her portrayal of Tina Turner in that biopic. Some actors work half a lifetime before getting real recognition. Penn, one of the finest actors that ever walked the earth, got an oscar only in the last few years,while someone like Foxx strolls in and gets it at the start of his career. Not denying it wasn't a worthy performance; he was amazing. But any other actor on that list would have been great; say, Cheadle for Hotel Rwanda.
Trying to watch Legend of the Seeker. Its really terrible. 

Seriously everyone should make it their GOAL to watch The Orphan

Just got back from seeing it. Havent seen a horror  movie this good in a long while. It was excellent. Wasnt like completely new on ideas as I could tell somethings mainly due to growing up reading Stephen King & R.L. Stine but the director really did a great job.

Iice Im looking at you o! JeSoul too! Seriously awesome movie, took the bitter Public Enemies off my tongue

If Karma thinks The Orphan is good (scary) then I'd best only watch 5minutes at intervals by noon every other day among atleast a dozen of my friends each time till I finish. Afterwards, I could go for post-traumatic stress relief sessions. Hopefully, I'll make it back to being a semblance of good ol' Vesc

My Nairalanders, Pls, Vote for Dclique as assistant moderator in Education section, thanx

Lol I think people are supposed to be grossed out by Leary.

You must watch Orphan this week/weekend o!

On black actresses I like -

I love Natalie King Cole. . . even though she's only a part time actress

Also loving Lisa Nicole Carson. .  who play's Ally Mcbeal's sidekick - I just read she's ran mad 

Max, you too are required to see it. I kno it disappoints you that it doesnt star Eddie Murphy 


why?
 

 

Aww, JeSoul is experiencing the plight of a football lover's hearthrob. You've got great taste in movies, I daresay my guy doesn't know what he's got. I'm sure there are plenty more enthralling facets to keep him occupied.

I was hoping you people would just stop talking about Legend of the seeker and it would become a legend (without the awe) and go away. I visited someone and it was on. Normally I don't really ever sleep (I hibernate) but man, I absolutely slept off. I asked later if it was PG 3.

You people have been talking about black actresses. I'm no racist or a chauvinist but my favorite actors (I don't even like the word actress) are male. The female ones I like are female and mostly foreign (to the U.S. that is). Remove the usual suspects like y'all have mentioned and I see none left. I reallly try to find astonding black female actors but I can't.

Max, art thou ignoring me?

SO true! You're ze horror movie buff. Knows all the tricks. Like turning the music off to smash that fear factor. You learned that accidentally too, I'm sure. 

Make una leave Eddie na. Shebi he was good, in the beginning. Coming to America is still one of the funniest movies ever. And his was the only acting in Dreamgirls. Don't get why Hudson got that oscar. I don't see what she did to earn it.


Nay, of a truth. Why would you think that?

   Its my story and I'm sticking to it  my curiousity gets the best of me which is why I've seen so many horror flicks


   I'm not sure if I should confess that I've seen Mall Cop  . . . . tpia I didn't really find it funny, everything about it was very weak, and I'm not even sure how I finished it 

  punishment hehe    I knew I shoulda kept my mouth shut 

Once in a while you need that pointless, low budget, poorly put together attempt at comedy of a movie to remind you the world of movies is not all glitter 
 

one of those movies you force yourself to keep watching just to find out how it actually ends. ie what kind of predictable ending they gave it.

besides, no refunds so I had to watch my money's worth Should have checked the reviews beforehand.

 I didn't go to the theatre to see it, now that I could never do. Saw it on one of those free movie websites.

Funny enough, someone told me I'd 'like' The Orphan. Like I like any horror movie. But I knew what he meant- Its not frivolous; its good, possibly a work of cinematic art, like The Omen, I'd endure being scared half to death to for.
Have you been led to this one yet, JS? Na so-so horror film ya own curiosity dey carry you dey go look. Seriously though, what's the attraction? And don't say its the 'story' o, since there's mostly none to speak of. I think the last horror movie I saw was The Ring, but the kid in it irritated me too much for any real scares. How can you endure it?

Got the Emily Rose thing on DVD, but the atmosphere in the movie was so terrible I got the blue blazes out of there.

Guess who? Hint hint
