Anna Begins Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 "No Mr. Bond, I want you to die." We watched a peculiar little film called 12 Monkeys the other night. A young Bruce Willis, and a very young Brad Pitt. So well acted. Pitt makes a great "crazy". That is one of my favorite movies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got 12 Monkeys on DVD, I haven't yet seen it, my boyfriend liked it though. I'm glad you liked it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yesterday I watched Mr Deeds which was quite nice . It was funny in places and I quite liked most of the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calexa Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nebraska. Shot in black and white it is a beautifully sculpted film; with the characters presenting a kaleidoscopic vibrancy against the starkness of the landscape, and indeed, Bruce Dern gives an Oscar-worthy performance as the alcoholic and cantankerous, Woody Grant.

I really want to see this. I like Will Forte from Saturday Night Live, although, once they leave the show, they rarely have careers. I've heard Bruce Dern was awesome in it though.

vodkafan Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Sunshine and Dances With Wooluffs with good old Kevin Costner. I had forgotten what a great uplifting film that was. The version I watched had loads of extra scenes in it I hadn't seen before that balanced the Sioux Indians out and didn't make them so boringly goody goody- for instance they killed some white hunters who had killed some buffalo and the whole village were dancing around the bodies celebrating. That got cut out of the cinema version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie9 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 How's New York treatin' ya? Im really enjoying it, still got 300 pages to go & im only on the beginning of the 1900s, i was that interested in it i even watched a documentary about the history of New York. I'd love to visit America, it would be my 1st choice if i could go anywhere in the world!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY is amazing- Alexi, Athena and I have just been talking about NY in Alexi's thread, about her upcoming trip to NY. It's hard to travel here because everything is so far away and there is virtually NO public transportation for US travel. My mom and I were lucky to drive the perimeter of the US and it took us 52 days to see 36 states! The book sounds epic. I just read the description to his book on Paris as well as Russka the other day. If you like NY, I might give it a go. I know major parts of NY history, but probably not 900 pages worth!

Anna Begins Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) That drive round the US sounds cool!! Have you been to Maine? I would love to go there being a massive Stephen King fan. Although i would be on the lookout for killer clowns & killer dogs and the rest!! Unfortunately, no. We went from Manhattan to Boston, then across upstate NY (like through Albany), which was GORGEOUS! Then on to Buffalo, NY to see Niagara Falls. Bangor was on the schedule, until we realized just HOW far it really was. It would have taken at least a week to get from Albany to Bangor and back with maybe a day or two to travel/ sightsee/ stay there. We left April 1st and didn't want to be gone into June. But it was hard to not go. We did stay on Broadway in Manhattan though, on the 20- something floor of The Millennium, and watched some window washers one morning on the building next to us. They were on that scary bridge/ scaffolding thing and everything. Even took a smoke break up there. It was so stereotypical, it was funny. But frightening to watch! We lost our camera in Oregon.
