yeah it's very interesting topic.
I've been watching plenty of movies lately.I saw almost all of the movies you mentioned.My favorite was CAST AWAY.Very emotional movie.It really arouses your attention as well as sadness.I really recommend ya to watch.
Hanibal........is so so in my opinion.It's a bit scary and disgusting......anyway it's not my style.
Nizwani I strongly agree with you about the traffic.

05-03-01, 03:56 PM
well i havent watched "cast away " yet but insha allah i am planning to...
I am also lookign foward to watch"save the last dance" it is sort of a romantic movie..about a while girl who falls in love with a black guy...and how they live with it...

Actually she didn't fall in love with him .It is only temporary relationship.The attractive thing in this movie is taht it shows the discrimination in the USA and how the nigeros and the white are separate.

05-03-01, 10:31 PM

This is an action movie starring Jamie Foxx who is set up as bait to trap a genious thief...it is an okay movie!

17-03-01, 09:21 AM
Well I wans't a movie person before .. but I think this semmester I am getting to watch alot of movies .. donno .. maybe coz I am too busy and that makes me bored :)
Cast away is a nice movie .. sad .. and it makes me think can I do what he did .. life is valuable but its tyring to keep on living that way :)
dint watch hanibal .. but heared it is quite disgusting , so decided not to ..
meet the parents is cool too .. although it is scary just to think that a parent might treat thier future son in low that way :)
finding forrester is also cool .. although it has alot of talking !!!!!!
cruel intention 2 .. a copy of cruel intention 1 and the ending is stupied !!!
there is amovie i guess it is quite old but I found it intresting if u guys want to see it .. It is called : the hand that rocks the cradle .. so intersting ...

well i just watched a cool movie Coyote Ugly
starring Piper Perabo(new actress),Maria bello,Adam Garcia, and Tyra Banks...

The story goes that Piper Perabo is taking her chances to go to New York to see if she can get someone to sing her songs as she is a song-writer...

i found it very funny....a very enjoyable movie...Cute girls and a really handsome guy (Adam Garcia) ;)

28-03-01, 03:02 AM
well probably not as far as it seems...
it;s just that i watched it on DVD hehe ;)

watched "Remeber the Titans" a disney production..starring Denzel Washington..well the flim was based on a true story and for some reason when i know that i get very emotional hehe

I enjoyed the movie very much.. it is telling the story of a colored football coach Denzel who has the job to train a football team consisting of whites and black students..when at that time the town is trying to overcome racsim..!!
touching story!

did some one watch"crouching tiger,hidden dragon"it was in theater few mounths ago,and now he gets some oscars,it's very pleasant,and the fights are amazing,the story is good too,another funny movie"misscongeniality"with sandra bullock,an fbi detective who try to be a kind of miss america(stupid and superficial),you relax after being discusting by hannibal(especialy the last scene)

4-ever-young
01-04-01, 06:35 PM
hmm no i haven't seen any of the movies u metioned apart from Hannibal...which i totally agree with u is disgusting..

I finally watched "silence of the lambs" i know i was supposed to watch it before "Hannibal" but anyways...i prefre slience of the lambs to hannibal...hmmm there is one similar movie to these two called "mannhunter" i havent watched it though just hear about it. ;)

reena
03-04-01, 12:18 PM
i agree with you "the silence of the lamb " is really better than hannibal,i heard too about "manhunter"but i didn't wacht it,if you will get the possibility to see it ,please let me know how do you find it,thanx

Yesterday I watched Men of honour which is based on Biography of Carl Brashear, who struggled against institutionalised racism to become the first black graduate of the US Navy Dive school starring Cuba Gooding,,, Robert De niro was in his best.

4-ever-young
06-04-01, 03:33 AM
for some odd reason i dont like Robert De Niro...i dont know why i just dont!!

Hmm i just watched Cruel Intention 2..i mean total crap..nothing compared to the first one...which was really cool!!

nzwani
06-04-01, 06:06 AM
mmm you don't like Robert De Niro,
and you just don't like him :).

anyway its your opinion but I
always thought that he is the
best actor in Hollywood.

4-ever-young
06-04-01, 06:45 PM
heheh i knwo sounds wierd i just dont like the guy!!
i do agree with u he is a good actor but hmm ma ya3jibni!!

reena
07-04-01, 02:28 AM
4-ever-young,can you just explain me how did you find cruel intention 1 cool???it was all about manipulations,or how to break hearts quickly and definitly ,but in another way we learn lot of things so it could be intersting.
about de niro i think that he is a great actor,he is as good in funny scenes as serious or bad one,he was excellent in "analize this"and"meet the parents",we can expect everything from him,i just watch another film with him called "15minutes"enjoyable,i recommand it for you nzwani as you seem loving de niro.

nzwani
07-04-01, 02:56 AM
yeah, I am going to watch 15 MINUTES tomorrow with my house mates insha allah.

Thanks for reminding me though :)

4-ever-young
07-04-01, 04:23 PM
when i said that cruel intetions 1 was cool i was comparing it to the second one..which was not so cool hehe

hmm i liked Robert di Niro in meet the parents... he acted very well...

reena
07-04-01, 06:14 PM
you see 4-ever-young you end up by founding something you liked about de niro :)
i understand what you meant now about cruel intention,i m curious to look how n°2 is ;so if i find time i will try to watch it.
nzwani,i hope that you will enjoy 15 minutes.

wow ..
well this is actually not an english movie .. it is iranian but have english subtitles.. but it won some different models from international competitions.. the movie is more than great .. especialy that it was not from hollywood .. actually , when I bought the VCD .. I was hesitant .. because we are used to those american style movies .. this movie just proved that anyone can make a movie and we can enjoy movies from our own culture ( ofcourse since iran is close to our culture) ..
I cried from the beginning of the movie till the end .. I dont knwo .. but I enjoy movies that make me cry .. because it means that the actors are so real to make me beleive what is going on ..
it talks about a blind younge boy .. who is sudying in a blind school in tahran .. his father is ashamed of him .. and this making it hurting .. but the boy is so jolly ..and his sisters are so sweet and they love him so much .. aahh I guess I will leave teh rest for you to watch ..

in fact it's the number 3 of a film which got a huge success in france,the n°1 and 2 called "les visiteurs"and"les couloirs de temps"are better,they wanted to be more "politcally correct"because of the americans, i don't know if you can find them in english ,if you do,just watch them,they are as hilarious as "just visiting"which is too funny to(clean water...)

18-04-01, 05:44 PM
Thanks a lot.well, the movies I've recently watched are BRIDGET JONES DIARY it's a movie talkin about the life of a woman in her late twenties and how she's worried about stayin a spinster all her life and what she does to change eher life.It's a funny movie but I think it's one of these movies that not everybody would like coz it reflects life in Britian but it's a nice one.I've watched the crouching tiger hidden dragon nearly a month or 2 ago it's a nice movie I think coz it's different to what we always watch good actors (and fights) I liked the fact that it had that touch of talkin about the kingodom of China in the old days quite amuzing GOOD MOVIE I do recomnd it.:)

reena
23-04-01, 03:48 AM
"enemy at the gate "is a good movie,the battle of stalingrad was well done,but there was too many anachronisms,and sometimes it was really funny(staline called the boss by his soldiers,it's as calling 4 exemple hilter:el sultan),the ideas developped by the actors didn't even exist at that time.however i recommand it too ,if we can abstract it's a good film.

salami to omania18,
i saw this movie a month ago ,and i remember nothing ,i mean nothing intersting,it's could be a kind of romance but johnny deep wasn't very good,and the story is really weak,the kind of story which never happened.
it's only worth it for the acting of juliette binoche.
however,it's just my opinion,may be that i missed something.

well, I watched this movie yesterday I liked it really.It's about this hand-made gun that 2 mobs were fighting for .It's kind of a comedy in the same time and it joins both BRAD PITT (girl watch out for this one) and JULIA ROBERTS ( hey guys I don't think u wanna miss this) .My frinds had different opinions :they thought the movie was too long and that they expected more from Julia and Brad .Let's say I'll give it 7/10

4-ever-young, watch Shrek I and II if you did not watch them, they are really funny! Men of Honor was good, so I hope you enjoyed it?

THUG4LIFE, scary movie is one of my favorites! All parts, though part II wasn't really that good.

Troy
----------------------
I'd recommend that you go and watch Troy. It's my favorite movies for this month. It's about a love story that destroyed a whole nation. You are really missing something If you have not watched it yet.
By the way, Troy is a good movie for those interested in literature and legends.

The Day After Tomorrow

When global warming triggers the onset of a new Ice Age, tornadoes flatten Los Angeles, a tidal wave engulfs New York City and the entire Northern Hemisphere begins to freeze solid. Now, climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a small band of survivors must ride out the growing superstorm and stay alive in the face of an enemy more powerful and relentless than any they’ve ever encountered: Mother Nature!

__________________________________________________ ___
