Farmgirl...you...haven't...seen...Gladiator? That's a surprise because it was such a big film. Memento & Femme Fatale were both small films and Y Tu Mama Tambien an incredibly amazing Mexican film about upper-class male teenagers taking a road trip with an older Spanish woman taking a road trip to a beach and making discoveries about themselves in the process...

Yay for Lola Rennt, no matter when you see it ^_^. As for the rest, I'd just have to agree. I'm too easily influenced and lazy to make a list of my own.

Oh, and I agree about the dubbed kungfu movie thing... but I like dubbed kungfu movies, sometimes. *shrugs*

No. I've been coming here for some years to read Card's movie reviews...I discovered the forum just yesterday. =0

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Ok you just have some of the same prose mannerisms, albeit toned down, that made me wonder.

Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

Ha! AJ, dude, while I do think Somalian's got excellent taste in movies (with the exception of Gladiator -- a mediocre formula Spielburg film at best, though awful pretty), I'm not sure we have anything else in common, least of all our prose.

But really, props on Memento. God of a film. Well, more god of a director. For god of a film, you'd have to go to American Beauty or Good Will Hunting, but I'm fairly sure neither were made after 2000.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

Matrix and American Beauty were 1999. Goodwill Hunting was earlier, the same year with Titanic, but I don't recall the actual year. Must have been 97.

I really liked "Holes".

Posted by gwan (Member # 6194) on :

I finally saw "The Dark city" on friday,(I've been renting every sci-fi movie, for the local video store, I'm just working my way through all the ones I haven'e seen yet.) Any way it was brilliant, It is defanately being added to my favourites. [Big Grin]

though, I don't now when it was made probably not after 2000.
