Wow, was late finding this gem! If you fancy a quirky movie sort of like Donnie Darko or Requiem for a Dream, (though I don't think it'll attain those two cult status) give it a go.

A bit of stage fright perhaps? I notice that was all you were able to muster in an earlier post today. :cool:Quote:

That would be 2004's "The Terminal".Quote:

Guys, no wacking off please. :p

But my one gripe with him is that he rarely co-stars with any people of
color, other than his buddy in Forest Gump, and Green Mile.
Though this may change when he stars with Taraji P. Henson, and Cedric The
Entertainer in the soon to be released Larry Crowne.
While I admit to not being familiar with this particular project for which I shall give imdb a good once over to get acquainted with what's in store, it is an absolute pleasure to bring another film of which I greatly enjoyed.Quote:

As far as comedy with a dark side, The Ladykillers had me rolling on the floor! I forgeot to add it my favorite Tom Hanks list. In my personal opinion, Marlon Wayans made his bones in this movie. The whole cast was perfect!Quote:

I was wondering when you might make a post about the film I also saw it recently and I would say it is definately one of the better films I have seen for a while. A great story but the prolonged scenes of the protagonists teen years was a little too much for me.Quote:

On an unrelated note I would also recommend Tetro which, is Francis Ford Coppola's most recent film. I'd say a little underrated on IMDb too.
Also great to see a fellow cinephile on the forum Peggygee! I miss the days of studying film at Uni :(
Right, I noticed that as well, though I think we got so much of those years as that's where all the immediate results from decisions made were happening.Quote:

I use one torrent site in particular which, uses a collective of 'rippers' who will only upload DVD/HD quality rips to the site. This is to uphold quality but also to help thwart any takedown attempts by exploiting the betamax/lending case from the 70s as the site argues the DVD rips are 'lent' out to downloaders. If anyone interested in cinema and wants a link to the site then hit me up on PM (I'm a little hesitant to give it out on the forum as I see so many torrent sites disappearing as MPAA takes them down with lawsuit after lawsuit).Quote:

Newgroups are more like throwing your trash out (poster's data) and somebody coming to the newsgroup (landfill) and picking up the trash (data).Quote:
