just watched The Talented Mr. Ripley

seems to be a bit overrated, too long and just kind of forced.

2/5

but i see no realism in it. if by realism you mean "dramatic" then yah it was a nice idea to switch up the pace, but the (second, third and forth) plots were in NO way realistic, and the acting was so bad that it was ridiculous to even think that the characters related to the real world.

Wow totally forgot about that one... definitely a quality flick hands down. Still remember laughin my ass off over the chocolax scene.

FiddySpence · 08-11-2009, 02:26 PM

just saw magnolia for the first time. it's a shame it took me this long to see it, that was pretty fantastic.

saw the hangover the other day too, didn't live up to the hype just quite but it was still hilarious.

Magnolia
The Matrix
October Sky
Office Space
The Sixth Sense

FERRALL · 08-11-2009, 05:25 PM

I watched Fubar the mockumentary, very funny and good. Some great lines in there, and my friend said I had to see it because my last name is Ferrall.

NiCK (Crush) · 08-11-2009, 09:46 PM

I've seen it, but only once. I remember liking it, but I HATE Nic Cage...

FiddySpence · 08-12-2009, 12:01 AM

nic cage is fascinating. this might be the last legitimate good performance he's had. his career has become a wonderful trainwreck though.
