Hey Martina!
Hope it was a good idea to talk about movies. Maybe the others have some good movie tips for you too.
I found a DVD copy of "The Terminal". Will watch it as soon as I have time, but I'm quite certain I like it. Tom Hanks ïs a great actor and I loved him in "castaway" and "Forest Gump". Plus Catarina Zeta Jones is super hot. Always felt mad Michael Douglas stole her away... :wink:
He was good though in "Falling Down".
Some of the movies I liked last year:
"The Village" from the same creator as "the 6th sense"
"HERO" a must see if you liked "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
"SHREK2" an instant classic even better then the first one.
I also watched "Van Helsing" and "Underworld". They are ok, but I mainly watched them because Kate Beckinsale is really hot. :oops: |

Yes i love Tom Hanks too as an actor, he was great in all those movies. I havent seen any of the other movies you mentioned other then Shrek 2, which is one of my faves. I thought Shrek 2 was better then Shrek 1.
While i was in New York, Natalia and i had some spare time so we watched "Shark Tale" in our room on the hotels PPV. I liked it but didnt think it was as good as others like Shrek 2 etc. It did have some quite funny bits in it though.
Today i went and watched "Meet the Fockers" in the Movie Theater, I liked it but it wasnt as good as the first one, worth seeing though :D |

If you haven't seen "Ray" yet, I highly recommend it. Jamie Foxx is absolutely spectacular in it (and well deserving of his Golden Globe). Maybe you can find a theater still showing it.
Just saw "Troy" on dvd -- it's a classic "grand epic" costume drama (tho Brad Pitt spends as much time out of his costume as in it). It's entertaining and occasionally resembles Homer's story.
Watched "Catwoman" last night -- Halle Berry almost saves it. (The outfit was nice, I have to admit.)
PS -- if Kate B. hadn't been in "Underworld" it would have been completely unwatchable, in my humble opinion. And I LOVE vampire movies! |

| Anyone seen the movie Elektra yet? I think Jennifer Garner is a terrific actress (I really need to get back into Alias), though her performance as that character in Daredevil wasn't exactly prime. Mind you, I guess they couldn't have her upstage Ben Affleck, and he didn't really do the role a great deal of justice. Get it? Justice... HEHEHARHAHA! |

| I haven't seen it yet either, Martina. I'm not quite sure what to think about it, because they didn't really show much in the promotional preview for it on TV. I read a synopsis for it at Yahoo, and it sounds kind of interesting, but I don't know that it'll exactly be blockbuster material. |

You got me there :!: :oops:
Well it kinda depends on the quality of the story how much you are distracted by things like those. :lol:
Plus some casters really go for looks, because it will attract more people.
Just curious what kinda stuff you did.
I think you once mentioned being in a commercial and an episode of a tv series in England. Am I right? Do you remember what things you acted for?
Cool movietips here! Another reason to return to Martina's webboard.
Did anyone see some things about "the Hitchhikersguide to the galaxy"?
I read all the Douglas Adams books and thought they would be impossible to create movies from, but well I thought the same about "The Lord of the Rings" :? |

Hey Satch check this link http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/
Yeah I bet it's not as good as the books ... There was a TV series shown in the UK ages ago but I've only seen little clips of it. |

Ok :wink:
As a kid i did a "Volvo" car commercial, and also did a "keepers keys" commercial.
I was an extra on "The Bill" and "Eastenders"
Then i played a murdered school girl in the series "Burnside"
I did a "Club 18-30" Commercial
And did 2 Music Videos, one of which was the "WestLife" Video we couldnt see me in. And the other video was by an unknown artist.
Since arriving in the USA, i stopped bothering with TV Work unless it was for interviews etc
But Next week i will be working at this convention http://www.natpe.org/
And apparantly its the biggest TV Exec convention, so you ll never know if any thing comes out of it :D |

Hope you meet some interesting people to help you with your career.
Ah I was just browsing through my old movies. There's a movie that is my all time favourite. It's called "Paris, Texas". It's a story about true love, but in a different way then you might expect. It might not be easy to find it, but worth searching for.

Has anyone seen it?
Ok back to my movie ::bouncy:: |

Yeah I love the slide playing of Ry Cooder!
The movie has a strange atmsphere to it. I would not directly say heavy going, but more like melancholic. Not a hollywood type production I would say. It's quite an old movie (1984) so it might be hard to find. |
