Yes, I liked those scenes a lot.For World War Z being a zombie movie, you really don't see too much of them. They're more of a sub-plot than the main event. The airplane scene is truly frightening- very claustraphobic and intense!!

I love this movie, probably because before the film I didn't know much about Scottish history (and afterward, I loved it so much that I was forgiving).Braveheart is very entertaining and well made, if wildly inaccurate (see also The Patriot, We Were Soldiers, Apocalypto).
He intrigues me. It's interesting to see someone who could clearly have had a tidy little career as a leading man (though he's not my cup of yes--too Ken doll) decide to stretch himself over and over again, and do different types of films and characters.Just watched Sabrina (again) on Netflix-I really adore Greg Kinnear!
I've recently watched most of World War Z. I'd read reviews which disfavored it, but I thought it was pretty good. The visual effects were really good and the zombies were pretty scary. I'm not a big zombie man, so the fact that I liked the movie impresses me.
Rear Window (1954) Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly
The third of my Hitchcock 5 pack of blu-rays. You've all seen it and it's great so there's not much to say about the story. The blu-ray looks fantastic and has an excellent commentary and documentaries.
Jimmy Stewart looks too old for the stunning Grace Kelly in this movie. I looked up Jimmy's age when this was filmed and he was only 45 (making about a 20 year age difference). He really seems older than that in this movie. Maybe it's that "old guy" voice he had.
I would respond with two things: 1) It's difficult for certain people to conceive of being accepted in society because, for whatever reason, they find themselves unacceptable; next to impossible to conceive of for some. It's a self-esteem problem. I suspect comedians might be subject to the emotional affliction such that they choose the profession for the emotional relief the audience's acceptance provides; and, 2) I think the symptoms of a major depressive disorder include emotional pain so awful that after a while of experiencing it chronically without relief a person must start feeling absolutely hopeless, especially after years of unsuccessfully trying to feel better.Watched Good Morning Viet Nam last night. I just can figure out how Robin Williams did not know how much he was loved.

Back in the day though, audiences, at least American ones, were used to accepting a myth concerning romantic relationships; that men (the movie ticket buyers) got to realize their fantasies in American society. Any leading man was therefore portrayed as mature (while not old), while the romantic interest was never a realistic societal peer. So, the suspension of disbelief was, for that time, maintained.It's not that Jimmy looks old. It's that Grace Kelly is just too gorgeous.
Sounds reasonable, but you cannot escape the fact that Grace Kelly is way too good for him--even an established star as Jim Stewart was at the time.Back in the day though, audiences, at least American ones, were used to accepting a myth concerning romantic relationships; that men (the movie ticket buyers) got to realize their fantasies in American society.

Have you seen Stuck In Love? SK has a "vocal" cameo!He intrigues me.

While this is a stunning scene, it caused me to lose my suspension of disbelief because while it was happening I kept thinking 'What? There's no sentries posted on the walls? They're surrounded by zombies 24/7 and they think that none are going to try to get in?' It really is a great scene, but not believable to me. I'm in the process of re-watching this movie, started it last night and almost got to the end but had to stop and go to bed.Oh no.. Yes... wait... No....
LOVE this song!!!!
One of my all time favorite songs.LOVE this song!!!!
This is what used to happen when you were 'owned' by the studio- you were tole what movies you'd be in and had no say so in who your co-stars or directors were. This is why today movie stars are able to pick and chose their projects, etc.Rear Window (1954) Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly

"Way too good" in what way for Jimmy Stewart, or his character in the movie, or what do you mean?Sounds reasonable, but you cannot escape the fact that Grace Kelly is way too good for him--even an established star as Jim Stewart was at the time.
Same thing happened when they paired Jimmy with Kim Novak.
Yes I've seen it, and yes the cameo is genuine!Have you seen Stuck In Love? SK has a "vocal" cameo!
