Signature tune of Cockrow at Dawn. I was really 'small' but I faintly remember Banana Split show. It must be really old. Was Danladi Bako in Cockrow at Dawn? Cool dude. I only remember Ene Oloja and Bitrus and Uncle Gaga. Bako and Barbara Soky were dating at one time, I think. The moment my little eyes could register print I was reading gossip mags. The best soaps,best programmes,best music,best adverts, best everything on TV were in the eighties.

JeSoul:
Max,I searched and found the soundtrack and yeah its dope but I still think MI deserves an apology 

Er, no it doesn't. A vote says what you think. If you thought MI should win for best score, you should have voted for it, and maybe it would have won.A couple more votes would have a made a difference in some categories. O Brother Where Art Thou is probably the least funny film on that list, yet it won. Besides, you can't judge a score apart from its movie. It's not the same.

@TOH
Bardem ko, Bardem-dem ni. You didn't vote, and that's what those who voted, voted for. 
Besides, Bardem isn't a cool villain na, he's a calm one. Terrifyingly so. He's a cyclone that sucks everything in his path into his bizarre world and forces you to live in that world by his rules, and it's life or death every step of the way. He's one of those rare, purebred evil villains- like Lecter or Nurse Hatchet- that can't be killed.Once you 'understood' the guy, weren't you terrified for josh Brolin?

@iice
I don't get the Transformers 2 thing. Nominating it for something?

It's a spoiler? Not, um,er, a hint?

Transformers 2??

JeSoul:
Hey Max, the nominations & winners are straight for most of the categories. I thot best action score shoulda gone to Mission Impossible and Coolest Villian, Javier Bardem - No Country. . . but all in all much better than the first Rd.

That Bourne got a franchise award instead of Bond tells you I had little to do with the results. . A lot of people voted at my end, and others on NL, and those are the results. I agree with some, disagree with some.But I,er, sort of agree with the Best Score winner. That you disagree means you've never seen that (really old) movie or heard that incredible,influential score. I saw the movie in the late eighties. I've forgotten the plot. I can never forget that score.

The highest scores for villains were Heath Ledger, Alan Rickman and Anthony Hopkins. The first two tied. I know Bardem was a force of nature in No Country, but not enough people thought so. And the award is for 'coolest' villain na, not necessarily the most chilling.

And why are you complaining when you didn't vote?

And this is the movie to see, if you've been so remiss as to miss this enthralling stunner last year:
WALL-E.

Isn't he adorable? 
Zoomed into my heart and the top of my Top Twenty List.
I love you WALL-E!

ThiefOfHearts:
wasnt Eric Bana just delicious Max? I love Natalie

You like Eric Bana? I know he's a good actor, from Troy. Why isn't he doing more movies?
Portman's a fantastic actress, isn't she? I watch anything she's in. I even put up with a boring, sanctimonious, pretentious Hugo Weaving as V in V for Vendetta, for her. She's going to go far, that girl.

Hm. Great choices, Spiked.
The votes are being counted. 71 people at my end alone. It'll take a while, but results will be posted asap.

Stephen Dillane and Sophie Marceau. It'll be dark. I'm liking it already.
Yeah, Karm is the epitome of seriousness. She prefers a five-hankerchief weepie like House of Sand and Fog to a  laugh out  loud spectacle like Hairspray.  But she likes Christian Bale. She's all right.

I've seen Mamma Mia! It's a slight story woven around ABBA classics. Not much to enjoy, except ABBA and Meryl Streep's girlishly exuberant performance. The choreography is HORRENDOUS. I swear its huge success is as much a mystery to me as that of High School Musical. But you can check it out.

Saw The Other Boleyn Girl. Natalie Portman, Scarlett, Eric Bana, Kristin Scott Thomas. There are historical inaccuracies, but they served to make the story unpredictable terrain, and enjoyable for that. The director, instead of upping the pace at the middle so the movie feels rushed, should have extended it by twenty minutes or so. Lovely drama. Portman was delicious as a bad seed.

ThiefOfHearts:
JeSoul dont listen to Max or any of her suggestions. She'll just suggest Bewitched and Moulin Rogue. Ive given up on her

Woman, you dare to place Bewitched and Moulin Rouge IN THE SAME SENTENCE?! Are they in the same galaxy, even? Hairspray's a good musical.It's not only very funny it has something to say. It's not the third highest-grossing musical in film history for nothing. If she enjoys musical comedy she'll have great fun.

JeSoul:
lol . . . nah I usually prefer to leave the 'crushing' to the men . Those are fellas I think can rival Craig on any given day

Er, no one on that list rivals Craig. They're all fluffy cotton candy,really.
Have you dropped your votes?

JeSoul:
Nah haven't seen. Is it good?

Depends. If you like musicals, it's fabulous!

vescucci:
Tell you the truth Max. My tastes can be said to be bizarre. My favorite actors and actresses are quite old. 50 and above. There are very few young ones. As for crushing, I have a crush on a french actress, Sophie Marceau and Liv Tyler. All others I crushed on I've since grown out of & they include but are not limited to Lisa Kudrow, Renee Zellwegger's eyes, Catherine Zeta Jones, etc. But the dudes really are the ones that affect my seeing a film

Yes, there is something about Marceau. She was a Bond Gril, I think? And was Mel's other love interest in Braveheart. She's a stunning woman, and has that rare, indefinable something,like Natalie Portman has.

@Dinozzo
Good votes. Why didn't you nominate Transformers when nominations were being dropped na?

What you're saying is, Christ might have been a member of the religious council of Pharisees,since a Pharisee at the time did not have the negative connotations it does today; they were religious elders who interpreted the Jewish Laws and preached in synagogues. You're saying they might be compared to Christians in that much of Christian religious activity- preaching, praying, giving to the poor, even some religious thought- mirrors theirs? If not for labels, they might even be categorised as the same? Is that what you're saying?
