The Movie Topic

Another film which I really enjoyed was Gladiator, the opening sequence where they filmed the Romans fighting the Germanics was actually filmed in the UK where the forestry commission gave Ridley Scott permission to burn down part of a forest which was due to be culled. I'm full of useless info aren't I? I actually saw this about 4 times at the cinema I liked it that much, still do even if hubby won't watch it because of the Crowe chappy.





You'll have to click on it to take you to You Tube the vidder obviously can't live without the hits.


At least this one will play !

Of course can't have Gladiator without thinking of Gerard Butler and those abs. A couple of trailers ... sigh. This is Sparta! I yelled this at hubby when he wanted to know what was for dinner. Who knew Romans had Scottish accents?

Had to change it because everything is embedded now.

Yep. They do that. So is it the video makers that do that or something YouTube decides that needs to be embedded? Kind of frustrating isn't it?

Very and kinda petty.

LMAO if you've ever seen Neo and the Matrix movies then you might giggle at this. How the Matrix should have ended!

Okay! I'm going to admit it. I have never seen any Matrix film. I saw a small piece of ?Jada Pickett-Smith? on top of an 18-wheeler and a bit of a motorcycle chase, but that was it. You know me and that whole stupid Keanu Reeves thing. I should probably get over that. I went the entire first thiry years of my life never watching Al Pacino and Robert Deniro, and now I love watching their movies. Not thunkable but great actors for real, and I never was into Brad Pitt, but now I'm starting to see the error or my ways. Which reminds me, i watched ?Curious Tale of Benjamin Button? or whatever it's called, and it was a pretty good movie. A bit long, and I didn't care for the ending, but Brad actually looked amazing during his motorcycle days.

Not seen that one yet but there's two movies which I adore of his I'll put a trailer on here for both so you can choose but OMG Brad was sex on legs during these.

The best vampire movie, move opver Twishite this is awesome !





Legends of The Fall, not only Vrad Pitt but Anthony Hopkins was awesome too.





Your homework Cougar is to watch them both.

One of my favourite Al Pacinio films was a biographical movie of a police officer who broke extortion racket in NY.

Serpico 1973





Scarface is embedded grrrrr. Not the original trailer but ...





Carlito's Way





And of course the Godfather.

I've seen the vampire one. Loved it. It's the one that made me start accepting him more and even give Tom Cruise a break to. I admit I just watched it for the first time early last year. I don't think I can do Legends of the Fall though. That is sooooo not my type of movie. Do I have to????

Yes because it's not a happy ending love story that you think it is. Okay you don't have to but Brad as a cowboy .... smokin.

Another Brad film that is epic is Seven.






LOL, remember Dean Winchester saying in SPN "What's In The Box?" this is it.

What's In The Box.

The Usual Suspects - awesome film.

I saw Seven, and I knew exactly what Dean was talking about when he said that. One of the only movies that totally shocked me. I have not seen Usual Suspects.

Try it, I don't know anyone that dislike the film. You have to concentrate on the plot but it's worth it. No hotties but a great film.

Yeah! That guy is in a lot of really good films. I have no idea who he is though. Isn't that terrible?

Which one, Kevin Spacey or Gabriel Bryne? Describe him.

Kevin Spacey. Is that who that is? I've heard his name in the gossip mags for years and didn't know that was who he is. Oh, I still have no idea which one Gabriel Bryne is though. Okay, actually I recognized a lot of the guys from The Usual Suspects but have no idea who any of them are either. Now that I've seen the trailer, it looks really good.

I'll put images up give me a sec.

Kevin Spacey





Gabriel Byrne





Stephen Baldwin





Those are the main ones you'd know. Is it one of these?

Yes, it is Kevin Spacey. I did recognize the Baldwin brother, just not any of the others. Well one things for sure, nobody will mistake The Flan for a Baldwin now that they're all older. Seems the Baldwins tend to plump up with age.

I know I adored Alex in The Hunt For red October but now ... I guess I should stop thinking I'm twenty too.
