Ishtar rocks compared to Alexander. And Elaine May's overall brilliance makes Ishtar a forgivable blunder in my book.

Yes, that was tough too, after 10 minutes I was already on the killer's side.

Luckily Hollywood seemed to have finally understand that his huge talent can be also good for box office. It's only a matter of time and he'll start be a constant candidate at the Oscars, I'm sure.

So, I thought I saw C.B. in the previews...is that him? Am I gonna have to sit through a g.d. Colin Ferrell ****-fest to see my boyfriend?

I thought Kiefer Sutherland acted better with just his voice alone than all eighty minutes of Farrell's hamfisted histrionics. Whoever told the little drunk that he'd make a good actor should be punished for uttering such a lie. You know what else was torturous? Minority Report. Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell. Together. Directed by Spielberg. Oy.

One can only hope. He's one of the finest actors out there & has been ever since Empire of the Sun. I can't wait for "The Prestige with him, David Bowie, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, and Hugh Jackman. That should be something.

Yes. We'll both have to suffer great pain. Bale isn't it in it until last the last 45 minutes I heard.

I can't believe you stooped to watch that

. But moreover, I'm surprised you didn't shoot yourself in the head while watching it. Glad to see you're still with us.

Oh lord

. Well, I'm sure THAT was intentional

.

If memory serves, from the little blip o' Bale that I saw in the commerical, he's looking really good. Man just thinking about him...drooooooooool.....

He alllllllllways looks really good. Except in The Machinist. *shudder*

And I have a strange desire to put Newsies in just to hear him sing "Santa Fe."

I had this exact thought. Like, "Why on earth did he even go there?" Diss, don't subject yourself to unnecessary anguish, please!

Yes, to watch Cruise and Farrell in the same scene it was exciting like to see two dead fishes in an acquarium. But at least there was Samatha Morton there to save some moments.

Empire Of the sun is un unsung masterpiece IMO. Especially in the final part Bale was able to reach such an intensity that takes my breath away every time I watch it.
I'm very hopeful on The Prestige too, not only for Nolan, Bale, Johansson and Caine, but especially for Bowie, I love his acting.

I couldn't watch more than five minutes of that movie. It was bad.

I know what you mean. Everytime I flip through and see Laurel Canyon on cable I have to stop and watch it. It's a Godawful movie, but my lovely C.B. is in it so how can I refuse?

What a dog that movie is.

I love Frances McDormand, but sheesh. And Kate Beckinsale is simply heinous. Did you also see "Shaft" just because he was in it? I did.

You know what looked like a real turkey but was actually pretty damned good for a low-budget flick? "Equilibrium." The scenes between Bale and Emily Watson make it worth renting if you ask me.

I'm rushing out to rent Equilibrium as we speak...

I haven't seen Shaft and did NOT know that he was in it. God! Now you've just faced me with a moral dilemma. I don't know if I can bring myself to rent Shaft. The guy at the video store I frequent will laugh at me for sure
