Im taking a long overdue vacation right now and as usual I'm catching up on lot of movies I wanted to watch for a long time. Here are some of them with my * ratings.
Recent Flicks:
1. Just my Luck:**1/2( Lindsay Lohan as banal as ever)
2. Sentinel: *** ( Thumbs up to Kiefer)
3. Matador:***1/2 ( Pierce Brosnan has tried really hard to shed his Bond image)
4. Dukes of Hazzard: :()-----(pukes)
5. RV: ** ( Robin williams is a sorry state of affairs)
6. Rumor Has it: * ( Kevin Costner has lost it)
Not so recent flicks:
1. Libertine: Sorry, I could not rate it as I failed to get past first 20 mins, But I can sure make it out to be any average Johnny Depp movie, with less of bloody disembowelment scenes and more of venereal/nudity.
2. Kate & Leopold: ***1/2 .please watch it if you like to watch verbal confrontations between victorian english and american slang ( Hugh Jackman vs others)
3.Corky Romano: **, but, Chris Kattan is cut out for such movies.
4.A Bronx Tale:* Frankly speaking,I've been wanting to lay my hand on this DVD for a long time.. one due to my mad passion for mafia movies in general, and two.. watching the dealy duo-Robert De Nero & Chazz Palminteri in action. The lonestar I've given goes to Chazz. Hope that sums it all up as far as this movie is concerned:(
Sure it doesnt look like a perfect vacation..but there are more movies to come. So, I keep my fingers crossed !X!

Duh, don't (didn't) you know what "Libertine" means???
Look it up!
But in all honesty and objectivity, the second half of the movie had a powerful performance by Mr.Depp. Would have said the same even if I hated the man. One day, I am going to tie you to a chair and make you watch A Clockwork Orange/ Trainspotting. You'll start worshipping Depp right away.
Hugh Jackman is an Australian, no? Sounded like cockney to you??? heh heh.
And on the subject of DVDs, I'd very much like to watch Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. I can get the books here and not the DVDs!
Gollu:
Hugh is a wonder from down under but speaks Xlnt brit victorian accent in this movie. You must watch it.
Ive got Yes Prime minister and rented Yes minister!. i cud loan u the former if u cud stop jabbing abt JD! Savvy?
Clock work orange& trainspotting, l'll watch it but put me on chloroform first.
Hay-Lios !!!
Mr.Herlihy
the only movie I have seen from your list is Sentinel.. Found it pretty average though Kiefer was good..
I guess will see Kate & Leopold and Matador based on your reco
Not savvy. Hmph!!!
Although, I am with you on Hugh Jackman. I was, at one point, hoping he'd be the next Bond instead of that "ewwww" thing.
Parag:
