I have to say, I really liked Clooney in the recent film the descendants. I tend to dislike his movies, but this was very good and he was very good in it.

I am also interested in seeing up in the air. I hear it is good.

I will second Titanic.

When I saw it, first run, I recall overhearing a woman telling her husband, as my wife and I were going up the aisle, "You'd better cry." Honest to God. This instilled, or reinforced in me a sort of impudent attitude towards the more melodramatic aspects of the movie, which I guess is most of its aspects, come to think of it.

First, everything they've done has been outstanding, with just one exception. Second, No Country for Old Men is the best adaptation of a very difficult novel you will ever see, and it is 100% nailed. NCFOM, Fargo and Miller's Crossing; those three films alone would make any other Director's career except for Hitchcock.

My EXACT thought.

ANYBODY could have replaced Baldwin. Including Aflac. And thats saying a lot.

Connery made that movie.

Well...actually it was well written, well shot, well edited...it was great all around. One of my favorites.

He was actually good in TAPS.

He played a guy who was devoutly loyal to an ideology and then went berserk.

Oh...wait....never mind.

It is actually one of the few times you will find that a very fine Screenplay is actually better than the original novel. The screenplay even fills in a number of plot holes in the original.

The MOST overrated movie though had to be that movie with Leonardo Dicaprio in it.

The one with the Celine Dion song...and DiCrapio dies.

I remember seeing that disaster.

A buddy said we had to see it. That it was all the rage.

Afterwards he raved about it. I looked at him like he had a third eye in his forehead.

Next would be Slingblade.

He gave up acting a while back and lives in a little village making shoes.

On TV show Fraiser, Niles Fraiser's brother was telling how he bought their father a pair of Italian shoes from a small village where the shoe maker makes only one pair every 6 months and when he finishes, they ring the church bells.
Roz their friend said, "Now there's a town in bad need of a bowling alley" :)
