Marky MarK? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zOzYqvov2M I enjoyed it. Good cast. Nicholson scenes are never dull, especially in the bar in this movie. Live a little, pick it up. Probably short money on half.com

" Is this movie (directed by Scorcese) really great!! I've a chance to get it, but would like your input first. TIA! "

An OUTSTANDING movie where the cell phone is the REAL star .

Also , please notice all the Stones' music throughout the movie ( especially ' Let it Loose ' whilst
Nicholson is smacking the shit out of Dicaprio ) .

The movie is actually based on a Korean movie called internal affairs, which I hear is better. By the way, there's one song in the movie where Mick just sings "well well well, oh well." Anybody know where that's from?

What most posters say here. "Overrated", etc. But, at least for me, got better after the second viewing. It helps that I watched it for free, of course.

" ..... and not enough kissing "

http://www.allmovie.com/artist/vera-farmiga-241678

" Even those who fail to recognize her name would instantly know the lithe, slightly diminutive, and ethereally beautiful Ukranian-American actress Vera Farmiga by her distinctive look.

Born August 6, 1973, in Passaic County, NJ, to Ukranian immigrant parents Michael and Luba Farmiga, Vera grew up with six brothers and sisters, in an isolated Ukranian enclave — so isolated that the young girl purportedly did not learn spoken English until the age of six. As a teenager, she attended a Ukranian Catholic secondary school, and spent much of her free time touring with a Ukranian folk dancing troupe. Though she originally planned to build a career as an optometrist, Farmiga instead ventured off in the opposite direction by enrolling as an undergraduate at Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts. She began to tour as a theatrical performer shortly after graduation, in the American Conservatory Theater's 1996 production of Shakespeare's Tempest, then took her Broadway bow later that same year, as an understudy in David Jones' mounting of Ronald Harwood's Taking Sides.

You shouldn't have went with your brothers.

Surprised to see so many people agreeing with me, to be honest I am not a big fan of the typical Hollywood blockbuster. I think 1987 was the last really good year for films. I go maybe once every few years now. The last time I paid for a movie was a double feature of Rolling Thunder and The Town That Dreaded Sundown in 2007 at a revival theatre.

**** WTF ?! ****

What about the year 2000 : ' Gladiator ' or ' Saving Private Ryan ' ?!

Never saw either of them.

off this list I saw

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_in_film

# Almost Famous
# American Psycho **
The Perfect Storm **
Scary Movie
Traffic

** in the theatre, looks like I went twice that year.

The only one I feel a slight twinge of regret for missing -

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus

If you have Sundance on Demand, I would recommend Them. It's subtitled (French) but the dialogue is minimal and irrelevent. It actually reminded me a lot of Duel, though the setting is different.

The 1954 movie Them! with the ants is also pretty awesome now that I think of it.

I didn't! I was eating dinner at my mom's, and one of my brother's just popped this movie into the DVD player. I had no choice, but to watch. It was awful! And, Jack Nicholsan is creepy!

Thank you, that is nice. But, I'm partial to Q. Tarantino. Didn't he have a flick with Rodriguez not long ago??? Name please...

I know Tarantino has a Nazi related flick coming out with wussy Brad Pitt, but I can't condone that shit on any front....

Some good movies are:

Mick Jagger in Performance
Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire and Vanilla Sky
Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Niagara
Johnny Depp in Benny and Joon and What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Denzel Washington in Mississippi Masala
Pam Grier in Jackie Brown

And, foreign films:
From Brazil, Central Station, and You, Me, Them.

Or if you want something funny, buy Vh1's The Flavor of Love Season 2! Hilarious! You won't stop laughing!
