then market it with pictures of a blonde teenage bombshell rolling in red rose petals. it's hardly a stretch.

And what about Kevin Spacey being in it?

I didn't know that before I saw it. it would've made the difference, he hardly ever does crap. same thing with johnny depp.

Here's an old one that I remembered last night:

Eight Men Out- Excellent recounting of the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Given the subject matter (I'm not a big fan of baseball), I was surprised by how much I liked it.

How about every other Kevin Costner movie? Ever notice he does a great film and then a major bomb? The Mailman & Water World are two of the biggest bombs.

I put him in a category with Nicholas Cage. In movies they play themselves. NOT a character.

Lord Of War was a great film.

And Elisabeth Shue was great. In Leaving Las Vegas that is.

Cool, let me know what you think. 🙂

The Queen was surprisingly good.

And I really liked Batman Begins too. The dialogues were great! Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy were really good.

This one is for that movie that you really didn't expect that much, but it surprised you in a very positive way.

My take goes to "The Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind". I really didn't know what to expect from this one, except that it had Jim Carrey in a serious role. But boy the movie was great. Great story, great story telling, great acting (Kate Winslet was simply great).
