lazarus said:Lemon, your rule doesn't account for Sky Captain, which WAS a sci-film, and not very well-received. So it's invalid by what it includes and leaves out.
No spoken words said:Thought I defended Law, too, especially Cold Mountain. Lazarus has me on ignore.
Cold Mountain, by the way, is an even better book. Charles Frazier. Check it out.

If it's anywhere near as great as the book I'll be a happy camper.

Sorry, NSW. Your additional support is duly noted.
Although I heard Frazier's book was boring as fuck.
What I am curious to know is how much of the screenplay, namely the dialogue, is from Minghella and not directly adapted. Because most of the beautiful language in The English Patient came from him, and not from Ondaatje's novel, which was poetic but had very little dialogue.
Ironically, adapted screenplay is one of the few Oscars The English Patient didn't win, though it was arguablly the award it deserved the most.
So who's going to see The Brave One this weekend? Normally I'd probably pass, but I'm a big Neil Jordan fan. I recently saw Breakfast on Pluto and was reminded what a great filmmaker he was.

I was kinda disappointed with it. It feels like they tried to make a feel-good American spin on it when it's anything BUT a book on the U.S.

Two friends...until war forced them apart!
Only...not.
But I'll reserve full judgment until I see the movie, even if they painted it differently just to snag people in.

Lila64 said:Oh yes, Mr. GLADIATOR
and the only other one off the top of my head that I've seen was In My Shoes, which seems like an odd movie for him to direct...

Scott only produced In Her Shoes.

I didn't see it. Not really a fan of Nicholas Cage. Though I do enjoy Honeymoon In Vegas
Actually, I was flipping channels last night after watching The Departed, and came across 8MM at about 3:45am. I only saw a little bit of it, as I was exhausted. I have no idea what happened after Phoenix dies and the other guy he pays money to to get a film made (I think). Is it worth watching the whole thing?
