No offense about your post, but I could care less who won what. I am sick of hollywood in any form. They are the least of important issues in my mind to be sure.

I didn't like either of these movies. BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR: ROAD TO PERDITION with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for posting this. I'd been looking for this movie site, I'm tired of throwing my money away on garbage.

The War has indeed Come Home.

Thank you for telling us that, and thank you for your service! The movie is all the better if it has your approval.

Greek Wedding #5? They wuz jobbed! x

[homeagain balkansvet]

And, for best unsupported actress....
Kirsten Dunst! >;-D

[Duke Nukum]

I just watched Stuart Little 1 the other night and thought it was surprisingly good, even though it didn't seem too much like the story. I remember the boat race from the book, but that was about all.

I remember from the book, Stuart's dad made him special money to use.

I really liked the fictional New York they created. Since everybody these days is demanding their emancipation from reality, when I start demanding mine, I'll demand that New York become like in that movie.

But she was "holding her end up"...

"WE WERE SOLDIERS" - The Movie

'WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE and YOUNG' - The Book

RICK RESCORLA / 'WWSOY' Bookcover =

Lifesaving Hero:

Battle - IA DRANG-1965
Bombing - World Trade Center-1993
Airstrikes - World Trade Center-2001

RICK RESCORLA saw New York's Tower 2 come down on him on September 11, 2001 after his already having saved many lives on that Day of Infamy ...just like he did for us in 1993 -&- 1965.

Today's Commencemet of Regime Change for FREEDOM in Iraq comes as such sweet Vindication for the Death of one true Lifesaving American Hero ..RICK RESCORLA.

"We Were Soldiers" was a good war film. An added attraction was that Mel Gibson is a conservative.

Getting back to Spider-Man, remember that TV show song:

"Spider-Man, Spider-Man, DOES whatever a Spider can..."

[RushLake]

I was glad that Mel Gibson played the lead. I thought that the movie did a good job in a few hours of portraying what you guys accomplished in several days. I asked for and received the movie for Christmas. I am pleased to know that one who was there speaks as highly of it as you do. Thank you for your fine service to our country.
