Whatever happened to Liam Neeson? He was great in Schindler's List and Batman Begins. He has great presence and star quality. Now I don't see him anymore Sad. And Orlando Bloom? Is he over, like that? Sad

Orlando looks like a bubblegum pop star to me. I can hardly take him seriously.

Julia RobertsGrin

I watched Pretty Woman again on Saturday

i was SO SO, memories came rushing back

and Julia, i loved her so much

She was So Good.

Richard GERE  Kiss,

Silver-Haired Fox, the sort of guy that makes evrything he says believable

you could catch him red handed cheating and he would convince you, you made the mistake.

kai!

That is one of the best movies of ALL time.

A catfight.

Gamine, you know there's a Gaminechic now? Y'all met? Soon there'll be a Spikedcylinderchic and a Karmamodchic and an iicechic and a Vescuccichic.
I saw Pretty Woman months ago with my brother. We had a great time. The movie's aged well. First time I'll hear Gere can't act. What I heard was it was pretty heard to take him seriously as an actor at the beginning cause of his looks. I like the guy.

Only liked Bloom in LOTR Kiss Kiss Of course Viggo was my number 1 but whatever Grin Grin
Well he tried in POTC but its not easy sharing the screen with Johnny plus his character lacked something to make him appealing.  He was too bloody nice as a darn pirate Undecided

Any thoughts on Stellan Skarsgard?
I like him alot and took the dive into really really like him after watching King Arthur.  He was a sexy barbarian Grin

Re: Hollywood Actors/Actresses You Love or Just Plain Admire
« #207 on: November 21, 2008, 04:02 PM »

Liked his smug, professorial air in GoodWill Hunting. Was he in King Arthur?OMG. I was in my Clive Owen phase and had eyes only for the guy. Bloom was rated the world's most successful actor at one time, because he'd done five movies and all of them had crossed the 300 million dollar mark. And all the girls were swooning over him in LOTR. Not my type. Heyyyy, you like Viggo,eh? Why? Grin I liked the King, you know, the one the poetic wormtongue had in bondage until Gandalf came along. He's such a handsome man.  Kiss

Did you know Gandalf is gay? Ian Mckellen is so charismatic they spent months searching for an actor who wouldn't be overshadowed by him. That movie is simply one of the very greatest things that ever happened to film. Unbeatable. You wouldn't believe the BS Peter Jackson was making before then. No wonder studios wouldn't take him seriously at first. 

Vesc, Gere is a beauuuuutiful man.  If there's an actor I would give that 'Know what you're thinking' thing to, it would be Jack Nicholson. He's one of the greatest actors ever, and one I can admire but am incapable of having a crush on. Ever.

Oh yes.  He was the leader of the Saxons.  He was the one i had eyes for Grin
Clive, sometimes i like, sometimes am indifferent.

Really, i thought Legolas was tres gorgeous but standing next to the dirty Aragorn, he paled my opinion of course Grin It was Aragorn, Legolas and Eomer.  And of course Elrond.  LOTR is my best movie so i try to watch it atleast once every month.  Never gets old Grin

Yup, i knew Ian is gay.  I agree, he is quite charismatic.  A joy to watch.  I tend to put him and Charles Xavier Patrick Stewart in the same category.  They are very commanding in their roles.

Speaking of Elrond - Hugo Weaving.  The voice!  The way he talks ahhhhh.  I loved Agent Smith coz of that voice Tongue
I have a crush on Jack Grin Wait.  .  .i have a crush on his talent.  Though he was sexy to me in Wolf Tongue

suffice to say, my taste in men is.  .  . Undecided Grin

« #209 on: November 21, 2008, 05:13 PM »

Jack? SEXY? Mission impossible. Tongue
I SO did not see Legolas.  Tongue Eomer. Hmmm. Much man. Kiss He was the one they cast against Mckellen and guess what, he survived. Look at him go in The Bourne Supremacy! My kind of villain. To die for. Kiss   

Hugo Weaving- Did you know the guy was born in Nigeria?- was getting typecast at a point. He bored me in V for Vendetta. I love Natalie Portman, and watched the movie for her. If you haven't seen her in Garden State, you should. Charming love story. But I get the voice thing,though if I had to pick the more mesmerising voice in that movie, it would be Fishburne's. And then Fishburne couldn't seem to get over his Matrix role and was rehashing it in every movie he appeared after that. Frigging annoying. Tongue

Yeah well, there is just something about him.  Hence the talent.

You know i read about the nigeria thing but totally forgot Undecided
Yeah i think the Vendetta thing was more what V spoke and i guess how the director wanted V to speak.
Love Natalie too! 
Hehehehehe can you blame the guy?  He's only Morpheus for crying out loud Tongue

I liked The Matrix for a long,long time. If only the second and third parts weren't so, well, frigging pretentious! The dialogue is so silly and meaningles atimes, you can't belive your ears. And the new Oracle, with her old school, 'massa out and the chillun are in the cotton fields' acting. The Architect I wanted to delete.  Belluci- boring! The Frenchman-boring!The twin ghouls-out of this world,wicked,supercool! They shoulda stopped at the first,no sequels.Along with Terminator 2, my favourite action flick. Cool Some pretty cool action scenes in the sequels tho.

Did you catch Portman in Closer? Of course you did. What did you think of the movie?

The Matrix the one film I condemn and love at the same time. But that overall. Everybody liked the first. For me, the second was better than the third but they were seeking closure. Must there be a closure. No Country for Old Men finished as if a rat nibbled at the tape. Peeps were like, dude, fix the damn tape and voila! Za credits!

You probably liked the second cause of the extended action sequence from the Frenchman's house,when they went to get the Keymaker.Those Twin ghouls; could never get enuff of them. Cool threads too. Will Smith turned down the part of Neo. Thank gawd. Still haven't forgiven the guy the silly,underexplored,downright lazy Hancock.   

No Country.  Grin Vesc, you're crazy, you know?

Like Vesc, i really liked the second part.  Mostly i enjoyed the long action sequence and ohhh i wanted to be Trinity on the bike!! ;DThe third was uhmmm Undecided
The Architect? Grin Grin I call him a standard in the Wachowski brothers' movies.  Some dude spouting something in a hurried tone that doesn't do anything for the movie. Hey! I liked the Merovingian Tongue for a time atleast.

Yea, i though Portman did a phenomenal job in Closer.  Didn't expect that out of her so i was pleasantly surprised.  The movie was nice but it doesnt speak to me.  I liked the characters more than i liked the movie Undecided

« #216 on: November 23, 2008, 05:54 PM »

The Merovingian bores me silly. The Architect makes no sense,and he makes it in the snootiest tones. Both of them can't get over themselves.Asses. Tongue
You liked the characters in CLOSER? Wow. They're fantastically cruel and grasping, well, except Portman's character. I thought Jude Law and Julia Roberts deserved each other. Portman and Owen should've ended up together,but of course nothing is that simple.At least she gave him something Daniel never got; her real self. Just saw When Harry Met Sally,one of my TOP TWENTY. Had a great time. Seen anything good lately?

Gamine, you've abandoned Clive Owen? Ah well. Celebrity marriages. Grin
Alan Shore is phenomenal,isn't he? What a character. Little wonder he kept snappping up those emmies.  Fall away. He's worthy. Grin

Oh.  .  .I think i watched Harry and Sally just once.  Not big on romance Undecided

Recently watched How to loose friends and Alienate people.  Simon Pegg is hilarious Tongue
Also rewatched clone wars coz yeah i love star wars but am not like those crazy fans Tongue

Trying to think about fitting twilight into my sched this week

@Max, I saw There Will Be Blood. And let's just say Daniel Day is phenomenal. Thoroughly deserved the golden naked statuette. Those Coen dudes too.

Re: Hollywood Actors/Actresses You Love or Just Plain Admire
« #219 on: November 23, 2008, 07:07 PM »

Daniel is consistently fantastic. I haven't seen him in a movie where he wasn't outstanding. I tried watching There Will Be Blood, but the thing refused to engage me, so I left off. Will watch it again. Some people think solemn epicky movies should stop winning Best Pic, and that Juno shoulda won. I liked Juno but Best Picture?Nah. You think the Coen brothers deserved the tin man,in spite of the rat-chewed ending? Grin 

iice not big on romance! Ah. I like old-fashioned romances, where they aren't groping themselves ten whole seconds after first laying eye on each other. What's How to Loose Friends and Alienate People about?

Re: Hollywood Actors/Actresses You Love or Just Plain Admire
« #220 on: November 23, 2008, 07:16 PM »

Am I the only one who didn't like Juno? Huh
I thought it was wayyyy overhyped.  The sarcastic thing is soooo normal, anyone can play that.  And she doesn't sound too far from her character so i don't see much of a transition Undecided
Don't let Karma see you dissing No country ooo Tongue Totally adored Anton Chigurh Grin

How to loose friends and alienate people is a comedy.  About some paparazzi who gets a break but manages to stick his foot in the mouth everytime hence alienating people and loosing those who manage to even get along with him, but he tried to change that and be who people wanted him to be rather than be who he actually is.

Re: Hollywood Actors/Actresses You Love or Just Plain Admire
« #221 on: November 23, 2008, 07:59 PM »

Ja, you're the only one who doesn't like Juno.  Tongue
I thought it was sweet, and the dialogue really good.
I liked No Country. I was teasing Vesc. Karma has a real thing for the movie,eh? My brother's in awe of the guy,but didn't think he should've gotten the Oscar. I don't know. I thought Casey should've won. And Anton's cat and mouse co-star shoul've been nominated.

Will pick up the comedy later in the week.

I don't know, i thought Bardem deserved his oscar at the same time, i wished Casey won too.
Now thats a movie with beautiful cinematography - Jessie James.

prolly here on nl i am the only one, but my bro also doesn't know what the big deal is all about Huh
Kindda like that rubbish movie knocked up. 

Thoughts on Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal?
I like Maggie but i think she only fits a certain role.  The quirky weird girl. I'd like to see her shine in something else
Jake on the other hand, am trying to like him but his performances are lukewarm to me. Sometimes, someone else steals the spot light from him.  So yes am worried about not feeling all high and gooey when i get to see Prince of Persia

I saw "Bardem" and "No Country" and knew my presence was needed  Angry Grin

what am I hearing? He didnt deserve kini? He deserved it o!

The Oscars destroyed my soul once when they snub Freeman for Shawnshank, such a thing can NOT happen again. Although Im still angry about crash winning over BB.

Javier deserved it completely. ONLY person who could have won over him and I wouldnt have peeped a word is Daniel day Lewis for There Will Be Blood.

Other than that, impossible! No Country na the movie!

Casey was good was Jesse james, i agree. My question is though why the HELL wasnt Brad Pitt nominated? What BS  Angry
