Is that Dwight Yoakam in the mask? (It has been a long time since I saw this but it really was a very good movie).Did you notice that Jared Leto is one of the bad guys?

Kevin Costner was one of my 'freebies' in his younger years. (I'm not sure I should have thought this 'out loud'?)I just watched 3 Days To Kill with Kevin Costner. I hadn't heard of it before but bought it because it was written by the French writer/director Luc Besson who I am a big fan of. It turned out to be a very entertaining movie and the best thing I've seen Kevin Costner do in quite a while.
Who would your freebies be now? I'm thinkin' Jared Leto but am apprehensive 'cuz I'm afraid he might smell of Fritos, expired bean dip and Patchouli!Kevin Costner was one of my 'freebies' in his younger years. (I'm not sure I should have thought this 'out loud'?)
I saw Les Miserables in New York when the play first opened in 1988. I was in love. Jean Valjean was played by Colm Wilkinson, and I think it was Terrance Mann who played Javert. I knew the movie would be different, but was so put off by Russell Crowe's singing that I couldn't enjoy it. Javert is my favorite character, and his last song is supposed to be beautiful and haunting. Crowe's acting was fine, but there was no emotion in his singing, so I was disappointed.Les Miserables-Eh. If this reflects the stage version, I can't see what the devotion is about. Terrible character and story development, for the most part. Weird close ups. I much prefer the Hugo book.

I'll have to come back to this one later...Who would your freebies be now? I'm thinkin' Jared Leto but am apprehensive 'cuz I'm afraid he might smell of Fritos, expired bean dip and Patchouli!
That was a difficult movie to watch. I couldn't get past the feeling my heart was being ripped from my chest to notice how well it was made.Watching The Elephant Man now. I'm not sure I would be except for the presence of Anthony Hopkins and the fact of how well the movie's made. I mean, it's something of a hard movie, but as gentle in its cruelty as possible, I think.
What I think is great about the story is its happy ending. I realize that that's a strange turn of phrase, but considering the cards Joseph "John" Merrick had been dealt and how things turned out for him I'd say he won his game.That was a difficult movie to watch.

I don't even remember the ending! All I can recall is what a beautiful heart he had and that he didn't deserve the horrific physical and emotional pain he was forced to endure. Most people don't, I guess.What I think is great about the story is its happy ending.

He's the guy with all of the cornrows in his hair.In fact, I have not
I remember watching it at the theatre when it was first released, with my niece. Both of bawled like babies at the end. One scene that has stood out for me was when Anthony Hopkins, as the doctor, saw Merrick for the first time and the full screen was just his face with a tear running down his cheek.That was a difficult movie to watch.

There's lots of scenes like this in the film- Anne Bancroft's face when she first sees Mr. Merrick is beyond description. Hopkins is so wonderful in his role here- it's marvelous to see his character grow during the course of the film. The 'I am not an animal! I am a HUMAN BEING!' scene is gut-wrenching. The ending really does just rip your heart out but you also feel a much needed relief from all of the pain that Mr. Merrick (and yourself) felt. It truly shows that the 'monster' truly lives on the inside of us regardless of how beautiful we may be on the outside. This is a film that everyone should see. It is an American classic. And it's directed by David Lynch!I remember watching it at the theatre when it was first released, with my niece. Both of bawled like babies at the end.
