IMHO, it is a joke that Julia Roberts won an OSCAR for Erin Brockovich! She does not deserve an OSCAR for such a mediocre acting in that movie! :wink:

The worst part of "western culture" has been displayed in that movie:

JR will go to an "environmental-affairs office" to get some information to strengthen her case.

There will be a punk sitting there and will say "NO" to provide the information JR wants as it is of course ILLEGAL.

Immediately JR will unbutton her top and make her breasts revealing to that punk -in order to please him and, she will get the job done! :P I am sure, she would not have minded even to sleeping with him, to get the information she hneeded too- if that is what the price he was asking! :roll:

Yeah, In God We trust ! :rotfl:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...a 'nice' (after seeing this movie, I’m conscious of saying ‘nice’, cause I realize now how often I use it...), fun, intriguing movie...the concept of erasing someone from your memory is wild…

Yes, you’re right…I thought a lot about this movie after…one question still lingers…
I wonder why Jim Carrey told the Doctor he met Clementine at the picnic by the beach because he actually met her at the subway station though he had seen her by the beach…

fav scenes: Jim and Kate by the Charles river looking at the sky...their conversation when they met inside the train (too funny)...

Jim Carrey is awesome...his smirk, smile, and other facial expressions are great...
Kate Winslet is simply cool...

Overall, an interesting, fun movie…the ending is also nice…

NOTE: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU INTED TO WATCH 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' movie

its been a long time since i watched that movie i'll try to answer your question from what i remember. if i remember correctly.
Jim meets kate in the train on his way to Montauk (which is the first scene of the movie) this is actually after the memory erasure.
before the memory erasure the very first time they meet each other at a beach party and that is how they fall in love.
do you remember jim says on the phone to someone(don't remember whom) that he ' took the train to Montauk in a whim'.
in the end when jim memory is erased the last thing kate says in that house is 'Meet me at montauk', he somehow remembers that, well, subconciously. that is why he goes to Montauk during which he meets kate again on the train which happens to be the first scene of the movie.
this story is bit complicated to understand. so different and clever.
good movie on the whole.

thanks for the information, vingem

i watched it for the second time after talking with another friend of mine about the movie and eventually figured it out...

you're right...it's different and clever... :)

million dollar baby...an awesome movie by clint eastwood!
hilary swank, morgan freeman and clint eastwood... :thumbsup:

i'm glad i finally saw it! :)

Rumor Has It - Starring Jennifer Anniston.

I saw it a few days back. it's pretty good. I thought I was going to hate it @ first, but it was pretty funny. I'd recomend this movie to other for a good semi-romantic comedy. :D

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind... A very good movie but you need patience to watch this movie...

Folks!

Watch "Presumed Innocent" *ing Harrison Ford if you have missed it. :)

It is a good drama (thriller) and the suspense is maintained all the way!

phone booth ...it good amazing screenplay

Traffic gud one ...zeta jones

Cellular.. Action Masala entertainer..

how is the movie RONIN by de niro

The Chasing scene in Ronin always regarded as one of the best

how is the movie overall ... i havent seen it, i am planning to buy the dvd thats y

Great,
Opinions Differ! That phrase seems to be the most popular in the Hub now-a-days! :D

I loved RONIN! It's a CLASSIC! But Others might not, so I'd recomend that u watch the movie first before buying the DVD. I don't know how it is in Chennai, but here there are shops where u can rent movies and watch them. I think there should be a few of them also.

So my opin is that it's an excellent movie! :thumbsup: But watch it before buying it. :D

in chennai, you get movies for rental...thats not a prob.....

The Terminal, though simple film.....its simply the best movie......tam hanks at his best :thumbsup:

Mee too loved Ronin.The chase scene is simply too good.Ofcourse I like movies like that and as surya said opinions do differ .A few friends of mine didnt like the movie.BTW the new Italian job also has got some great chase scenes.Movie's also pretty good.
One of the movies I watched recently and greatly enjoyed is "The Sting".Awesome movie.Its an old movie *ing Robert Redford and Paul Newman.Great movie.

Yes, the chase scene was really good. That's my favourite chase scene in movies after 'The French Connection'.

Memoirs of A Geisha...a great movie to see :)
well done!

Saw it!
Glad it did the best justice it could do for a novel.
though the english slowed it down the music was exiquisite
I liked all the actresses portrayal including Ken Watanabe.

Really liked Eternal Sunshine on Spotless Mind...it was moving and intriguing...watched on the plane going home from my trip...not the best to see then...cause the dwelling on memories triggered the waterworks :oops:

Watched K-Pax and Beautiful Mind...I liked them both very much...*I know that there must be something very remarkable about them if i am to watch them twice....I never like doing that...i think the only exception are songs....i think that's why i hardly ever am taken up by a tv show hype...

*I also watched Mad Dog and Glory...very good actors (Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, Bill Murray)...found it kind of like a subtle comedy but somehow the actors were very under used..


will watch out for Ronin
i also watched girl, interrupted and as good as it gets...but i don't know don't seem as WOW as they were made out to be...for me anyways

*added later

Back to the Future (Trilogy)
Advance aplogies if this has already been recommended in this thread b4......havn't gone thru all the previous pages yet! :)
Jus saw the 2nd part of this movie on AXN last night.....Michael J Fox's acting was brilliant in this......he reminded me a bit of myself in tense/dangerous situations! :)
We even had video cassetes of BTTF 1 & 2 at home many yrs ago.....tat was when VCRs were very popular! I'm not sure if those cassettes r still around! :)

if you liked Cry Freedom, i recommend 'The Constant Gardiner', a very powerful movie about the testing of drugs on people in Africa by the pharmaceutical companies...really sad...an eye opener!

Crash...one word...WOW

This is one of the best movies I've seen since The Constant Gardiner; a very real movie about love, tragedy, comedy, and reality...It's a multicultural movie that weaves people of different cultures, personalities and attitudes. It shows the kind of world we live in...and it's so real...

:thumbsup:

How is the Constant Gardiner Sinthiya? What's it about? Who's acting in the main roles?

I watched Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" and "Farenheit 9/11...both of them just at times astounded me...not because of what happened but how it still CONTINUES!!! :x

I would surely recommend both especially farenheit 9/11 but do keep an open mind, Moore of course is giving his opinion as as any good argument shows proofs that support and strengthen his points.

The Constant Gardiner is amazing...i love the soundtrack, especially...it's a movie about the testing of drugs on people in Africa by the pharmaceutical companies...Ralph Fiennes stars and an actress (don't know the name)...

Seen Farenheit 9/11...you're right...keep an open mind cause it's Moore's opinion as well...but it really shocked me :o ...

Querida, have you seen Crash? see my quick review in previous post... :)

hey another great movie is grey zone its about the concentration camps, starring harvey kietel and courtney cox's husband

Pink Panther tops box office , but gets lousy reviews.

Roger Ebert says, there may be many James Bonds, and many actors may play Hamlet, but there is only one Inspector clouseau!

Watched HEAT finally very good,
have Pacino's Serpico with me...I'm expecting it to be good...but is it exceptional?

Not so much a recommendation as it is an accomplishment...well for world movies anyways...but watched Mughal-E-Azam....the old version....must have taken me five hours :shock: but loved the sets and costumes..and of course Madhubala's acting...

Annapolis...ok...about a guy who wants to be in the Navy and then turns into a boxing match...

Firewall...good thriller, but I thought Harrison Ford looked very old and didn't suit the character in the movie well...interesting story...

When a Stranger Calls...scary..thriller...nice to watch...well done...

:)

Sinthiya,
Isn't "When a Stranger Calls" PG-13 though? :?
