Just speed it up a couple octaves, man!
Yes!
Spiderman 1 and 2 are great movies.
And, yeah, that's Kirsten. I like Kirsten in the Mary Jane role. I even think it's her best work since...
COLD MOUNTAIN
Really enjoyed it.
I'm a sucker for anything Civil War-era involved. That time in our country's history is rich with folklore, legend, and the obvious human drama. And I thought that Minghella did a great job of bringing that to life and, also, he made the movie look stunning. Where was this film shot anyway? (It doesn't look like it was shot in the U.S. but I honestly have no idea)
Also, Jack White. I had no clue this dude was in this movie. And he did a good job...practically playing himself. He was a pleasant surprise.
My favorite moment of the movie is the encounter between Law and Portman's characters. Really intense, powerful stuff. Especially when the Union soldiers show up to rape Natalie and steal her food and Law comes in to save the day. I guess you could say I'm a sucker for Natalie Portman, too.
Also, the ending was satisfying. As I said, I really enjoyed it.
Alright, so back to Cold Mountain.
The obvious answer would be English Patient, right? .
DiCaprio didn't have the respect he does now, and was viewed as being out of his element. Cameron Diaz wasn't loved by everyone either (I think she was great, miscast or not). The screenplay, while having a lot of great lines and an interesting story, also had a lot of cooks in the stew and was choppy at times. Supposedly the film went through hell in the editing room.
From a visual standpoint, though, I thought it was amazing, and I love these kind of epics. One of my 2 or 3 favorite films of this decade.

When should we make the officially Lance S.O.S. thread?
