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

Apparently I have never heard of Flawless. It's great she's still in the biz. Sorry, dearie, you getting worked up about Moore. I liked her too, just don't see much of her. I just remembered her in this Critchton's book made into film, I forget the name. She was fantastic. That appeases you miss?

mad_max
yeah Reese was in Cruel Intentions. . with Sarah Michelle Gellar.  .
She played Anette. .the girl trying to keep her virginity until marriage. . remember??

Like I said before, i love those women not for acting reasons, , . just pure likeness. .
and the blond similarity,. . not intended. . 
There are geniuses in the industry. .  no doubt. .

And these, I love for acting reasons
Merly Streep
Whoopi Goldberg
Angela Bassett
Hilary Swank
Kiera Knightley
and most recently, Ellen Page . .her performance in Juno was breathtaking. .

@justkunmi
I remember. Vaguely. Oh my, I completely agree about Ellen Page in JUNO. Talk about PERFECT casting!

@Gamine
Is Flawless any good? I've never been a serious Moore fan. And you cant deny she's slowly but surely joining the league of fading magicians,along with the likes of John Malkovitch,at one time my favourite actor- did I have a crush on the guy or what? Val Kilmer (I watched The Saint so many times my mother had to confisticate the CD),and other actors that have been replaced by new A listers.

And yet there are actors whose careers seem to be above time, in some miracle preservative. Like Meryl Streep. I say Jack Nicholson, with some hesitation. His performance in The Departed was a bit overdone, like he was trying too hard to make evil the casual everyday business it is to him. But DiCaprio was a marvel, and was electrifying in every scene he appeared in. The genius of The Departed was the irreverent way he was dispatched,like an extra,like any other person in the movie. We might have invested emotionally in him, but that's life. Death makes no distinctions in real life, and Scorcese is saying, This isn't a movie, this is real life. No way DiCaprio isn't going to take home an Oscar one of these days. It's painful, watching he and Depp being denied year after year.

No vex jare. Rock on with Demi!
No mind my Mama. It was a while ago. She said the guy too dey feel fine boy. I said shebi he is divine. So what if he knows it? One morning she saw the thing playing for the hundredth time,screeched that she'd had it,and disappeared with it.

Just wasted an hour of my life watching Hancock. Didn't finish.

 

Ok , i just watched Charlie Wilson's War

i remembered why i adored Tom Hanks, i just hate that his hairline is receding

And Julia Roberts looked horrible, i dare say

Yeah , da gump.

Wilson's War is ok.

Da Vinci, havent seen it.

Ghostbusters!! yay, saw it some months back on DSTV, I & II, recorded it sef.

Omen??? oh my, i cant still bear to see it , LOL@remake

Errhh I'm gonna answer the question as if I was asked. I've never really thought about this, the list might be subject to amendment. I'll go for 20 and they are not in order.

LOTR
Snatch
The Ladykillers
Sin City
That Girl (it's an oldie)
Little Princess; this film made me cry (more like wail) like a baby
Finding Nemo
E. T.
Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Omen (this one admitted me in my parent's room in those days)
Memento
The Prestige
The Godfather (must be on everyone's list)
The Dictator (I'm not very sure about this title, but Chaplin was in it. Another oldie)
Armageddon
Finding Forrester

Gaskiya, I've run out of steam, I'll be sure to make corrections later as some come back to me. It's funny cuz I just saw Happy Feet and 'let me tell something to you' it was fun but with food for thought.

Nope. I only knew there was a movie called Mad Max a few weeks ago, while going through bios of some of my favourite directors,George Miller, Tarantino, Baz Lurhmann,etc, and spotted it amongst Miller's movies. I was amazed,read up on the movie,instantly recalled the Tina Turner soundtrack,Beyond the Thunderdome, and was amazed some more. I love George Miller, for Babe and Happy Feet. His movies are like modern parables with simple themes,but with serious messages hidden within.  Baz Lurhmann I would abandon Watanabe for and run away with if he asked me. He's a genius. Heyyy.We have Forrest, Happy Feet,LOTR and  The Sound of Music in common. Fun With Privates and Jane?

@Vesc
LOTR is on my list. Sin City is visually arresting,raw,visceral,stunning. All the characters took my breath away (except Jessica Alba). Elijah Wood was chilling. Unforgettable. Haven't seen it again since. It's just one of those movies you must not watch often. Finding Nemo is simply flawless. The Omen is on your list of favourite movies? I fear you o. Did you see all three instalments?Isn't it just one of the most demonically harrowing movies ever?

Snatch. Frigging hilarious.

 

People keep saying they cried when they watched Finding Nemo,
but I watched it and I can't understand why. 
It was just a sweet cartoon to me, unlike "The Pursuit Of Happyness"

That Seun can cry

or

The Pursuit of Happyness can make someone cry

Nicole is alryt.

and like you said, shes just OK

you see nothing intense about her

always seems to be floating in an ethereal. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nicole Kidman is just OK? You've seen her in Dogville or The Hours or The Others,haven't you? I don't know what she did in COLD MOUNTAIN, I oogled Jude Law throughout. He was everything a leading man should be:arresting and anguished and enigmatic and delicious. Kidman is an excellent actress o. But for the decade or so she was married to Cruise the silly twit shoved her career in the background while Cruise grinningly prospered.   

Gamine, you cried at Finding Nemo? What's to cry over? The two of them were re-united,weren't they?

Is Gamine a closet cry baby? Finding Nemo was cool and I couldn't cry over that if I was traumatised!

And, uh, Seun can cry of course, the question is "will Seun cry?"

eddie murphy 

Don't mind iice. It's cos she couldn't have Ken
Working and watching Linkin Park and Coldplay videos. Have no idea what movie to watch this weekend. Perhaps a musical.Hairspray,maybe.

Alan Rickman.

I agree with you on Renee though.

@Mad max,

Watch Hairspray, not bad if you can stand the sight of Travolta

@Topic,

Will Smith, he is not the best but i loff him!!!
