Good point.
Jolie now has speaking roles?
Interesting that one reviewer slammed on the score for putting an electronic sound in a period movie. The composer (Vangelis, who indeed did "Bladerunner"), did the same in "1492" and "Chariots of Fire" -- winning an Academy Award for the latter effort.
I bought the score, but I am giving this film a wide berth.
Another reviewer on their site posted a hilarious talkback comment saying 'this film will be gayer than LOTR and Phantom of the Opera combined..'
I really liked South Central. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Didn't Stone write the screenplay to Conan the Barbarian?
Yeah, I thought so too. I would never actually watch a real football game but I liked the movie. I can't remember the evil blonde's real name but it was a pleasure watching her get it in the end.
Didn't he do "Natural Born Killers"? I saw that because Juliette Lewis is such a natural psychopath. Rotten depiction of small town America, though.
South Central was directed by Steve Anderson.
I do remember Oliver Stone's "The Hand" movie was pretty funny when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I think it was supposed to be scary.
Suprised Vangelis is back doing the score, I thought the studio would have pushed for someone meladramatc like James Horner.
Yes he did with John Milus. And he wrote midnight Express and Scarface (83 version with Pacino of course) as well.
Despite Brad Pitt's raunchy politics, I have to say I liked "Troy".
Oliver Stone is another over rated, un talented hollywood diz. I'm glad I've never put any money in any of the crap put out in hollywood. I went to see "Shall We Dance" recently. Another, POS movie that leaves you empty and angry that you wasted two hours of your life, that someday when you're in your nineties you'll wish you had back, just so you could one last time chase after the nurses in the nursing home.
Thanks for the critique as I was looking for an excuse not to go..

PS--"Friday Night..." Now that was one good movie, folks!!!!
Yeah, don't spend any extra dollars to see it. I don't want you mad at me or anything. (Man, talk about waffling on the review, huh? I should work for John Kerry.)
I Claudius? I Claudius was,make that is great.
Pick a rainy Sunday and you are good to go for 13 hours.
LOL! And your Stone's biggest supporter on this thread!
Not even a little bit.
Cameron Diaz is awful in it, as well.
Platoon. That's the only one.
In the History channel show, they stated Alexander had a close male friend, obviously, he therefore had a homosexual relationship. The show was not all that bad, but how the hell do you draw this conclustion is beyond me.
