I'm glad you mentioned Altman's Thieves Like Us. Saw it for the first time a few months ago and was blown away by Duvall and Carradine. It's rare that you see two people falling in love in such a realistic way. Makes Bonnie and Clyde seem pretty phoney in comparison.
Disagree with your Hitchcock selections,…

You're a very handsome and powerful man.

Hard to forget any movie starring Monica Bellucci.
Even that one with Bruce Willis.

Josh and Donna!
Seriously adore both It Happened One Night and His Girl Friday.
Modern romances not so much.

But then that means that Eric Roberts looks like Our Lord and Saviour.
Good thing I'm a lapsed Catholic otherwise I'd be seriously freaked out about now.

Well apparently Bradley Cooper is going to play Satan.
So I'm guessing a pretty bad joke.

He has sensitive alabaster skin.

You gotta love that name. Benedict Cumberbatch. Just rolls right off the tongue. Remember when Hollywood would stupidly insist on actors changing their names to something boring and vanilla. That deprived us of stars with names like Francis Gumm or Archibald Leach, Lucille LeSueur and Bernard Schwartz. And my…

Yeah, I guess that Reilly is such an ordinary looking guy that almost any leading lady he has is going to look like she's out of his league.
Totally agree with you on Polanski's skill with limited settings. Claustrophobic stories seem to bring out the best in him.

I know that every movie requires some suspension of disbelief but the idea of Jodie Foster married to John C. Reilly is just a bridge too far for me.
As for Cameron Crowe being sappy, well I'm not suprised.

What about Rio Bravo ? That'd make a pretty good series.

Well that's four exceptions to that rule. Do I hear five?

Good lord, I hope that Miss Marple show never sees the light of day.

Okay, I have a confession to make, I've never seen Zooey Deschanel in anything, so I'm curious, is she anywhere near as annoying as that goofy picture makes her out to be?
And seriously, what sort of name is Zooey ?

I'd see a doctor about that if I was you.

As a history nerd myself J. Edgar would normally be the sort of film I'd be all over but is anyone else worried by the casting. I just can't buy DiCaprio as Hoover. He still looks all of twelve years old to me.
Big fan of Michelle Williams so I've high hopes for My Week With Marylin. If she can match Theresa…

As an Australian I take umbrage at that remark.
I also fully respect your country's unusual show of good taste.
Even we didn't like that twit.

I still can't decide which is more unbelievable: Hopkins as a black man or Kidman playing a maid.

I love you Elegant Victorian Lady.
Oh, yes I do.

I don't know about Rhianna And Will Smith but I'm pretty sure Rhianna's breasts look alike.
