The actress is Ms. Delpy for sure and I think the connection is Three Colors - Red. But I don't know (or haven't seen :? ) the film the first pic belongs to.

3 is right.

1 is "Blind chance" mentioned by Equa in previous pages. :)

Spacey's sin is Envy. He is Envious(Jealous) of the life of Brad Pitt and his beautiful wife Gwyneth. So he wants himself to be killed for his sin by Pitt. A very good film.

Michael Douglas? :? Unless you are talking about Keaton whose real name is Michael Douglas.

And yes, Keaton can act. Severely underrated actor. Best Bruce Wayne in my book and elsewhere I wrote that he could easily play The Joker based on his performance in Beetlejuice...I mean then.

Hmmm yes my brother told me that little piece of trivia too...sorry I meant Alec Baldwin...I saw him being silly on the Apprentice but amusing on 30 Rock...but still was surprised to see him so young and different looking.

Ah Alec. Can't place him. Avar nallavara Kettavaraa? :lol: Watch him in Glengarry Glenn Rose. One scene kalakkittu poyiduvaaru. Imagine, the film had Jack Lemmon, Pacino, Jonathan Pryce, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin!!!! And you still remember the smart Alec.

Yes I've watched "Glenngarry Glen Ross" but you know I cannot say the same thing, because I am biased towards Al Pacino...who of course is my favourite actor...do you mean this scene?

Then yes it was a scene to remember.

Hi Appu, :)

Well the thing is Appu...I've seen "the good son" and was expecting it to be the same...but knew that the twist was necessary so that "orphan" would not be just a copycat movie...but yes there were parts in which made you take notice. If you haven't watched "the good son" then I do suggest you give it a look :D The story is written by Ian McEwan...great author...same author who wrote "Atonement"...if that means anything more :P

Watched "Julie and Julia"...in a theater where I paid $4 dollars...it's $2 on a weekday... :shock: wasn't too shabby...clean...small screen....
but heck it was $4!!!

Anyways as you can see the theater had more impact on me than the movie did....the parts with Julia Child (Meryl Streep) were a delight if you could get over her unique manner of speaking and voice...my friends found her voice annoying.I think I've become accustomed to it after watching her cooking shows....I wish the whole movie was just based on her...Meryl is amazing as always... I do love her acting...Amy was forgettable...her parts seemed to drag down the story....very lovey and cute and full of rich, french food cooking obviously.

Heaven was good. Had to watch twice to appreciate the movie.

Have you seen hell? Guess it was also made

P_R[/url]]I just saw a movie by Robert Bresson I found the acting extremely impressive overall and very ordinary in some parts. Then what I found left me confused.

Apparently Bresson uses non-actors, insists on having absolutely no trace of 'acting' whatsover and retains that in the final take. So the artifice of creating is actually non-existence and the 'value of what I appreciated' plummeted instantly for me (whether it should or not is another question, but as of now I should confess I did). And the 'bad' parts were the amteurish acting came to the fore, expressions jumping the gun, end of scene timing misses in transition etc.
