I just watched the 1971 film version of "The Trojan Women" by Euripides, staring the greatess American Actress there ever was or will be "Katharine Hepburn".
Krull. It's a fantasy from 1983 (or around then). I had never even heard of it before I saw it on tv. I said before it's a fantasy but it has a little bit of a sci-if twist. The story revolves around an an evil being, The Beast, coming from outer space to conquer the planet Krull.

[SIZE=7] "Widows' Peak" filmed entirely in Ireland is a humorous look at Irish stereotypes. It's a very well done movie, Rated PG, 101 minutes, 1994
Here is what NETFLIX has printed on the envelope:
Widow's Peak - A sultry outsider shakes up a quiet Irish community in this comedic mystery. When British widow Edwina (Natasha Richardson) moves to town, the local ladies are immediately suspicious. Sexy Edwina chams Mrs. Counihan's (Joan Plowright) son Godfrey (Adrian Dunbar) and fights with Miss O'Hare (Mia Farrow). Believing that Edwina's evil and up to no good, O'Hare heads up an elaborate investigation. Jim Broadbent co-stars.

I hear ya. We watched the revamped version of 'Blade Runner' with our son, who enjoys the movie which is one of our favorites, and our daughter-in-law who'd never seen it before. Not 10 minutes into the movie she chirped "Isn't that sweet, look at how primitive the special effects are! This must be an old movie!"
Dang. Didn't feel ole to us til then.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."
Wow! After reading the posts above, I kinda feel like a weinie - my sister talked me into going to "Mama-Mia". It was cute, but I don't think I was the intended audience. I thought how they strung some of the songs into the story wa a bit contrived and some of the actors are really not singers, but they pulled it off to make a really decent movie - even if noboday blows up!
Went and seen it with my daughter I agree with you, they really can't sing. I think I'll watch "P.S. I love you" again

Blade Runner is one of the greatest science fiction movies of all time. I've even read the novel on which it's based, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Like a lot of novels turned into movies a good much is changed from the novel to the movie and it's one of the very rare instances where I enjoyed the film more than the novel. There was no one thing that I liked better, it was just a lot of little things.
I just watched Gekiranger vs. Boukenger today. I'd be surprised if anyone else here as seen it. Especially since it's a Japanese movie from earlier this year that.
I just watched VERNICA GUERIN now that was a good one, sad but I do belive she did that right thing. I am gald thet they changed the laws and are now able to stop the drug lords where it will hurt them most $$$$$$$$
I have two questions 1. In Ireland do they have parole like we here? ( hope not) 2 . Who sang the song at the end? It was in Gaelic then went into English.
