what would we do without Google...

Mary, you've got to check out imdb.com. It is the site for movies. (Stands for internet movie database dot com).

yep, Terry, that's where I look.....are you signed up to make comments? Sometimes I want to get on and say something, but am wary of signing up to sites I am not sure about. Usually I just vent my spleen to myself, which is probably easier for everyone...

I personally like your spleen. Vent on! I am a subscriber to imdb but tend not to read/post there. Call me a snob, but there are too many postings there to muddle through to find the folks whose comments are worth reading.

"Snob" - well you did ask Terry - and I like to oblige...AND if only people google-wide knew what they were missing with not being aware of these pages of incisive, in depth, thought provoking comments on films...they haven't lived. Mary NEVER vent to yourself, it's such a waste of highly More...

yes Billy, The Tracker and Walkabout are available as a double dvd set. I don't know about being able to rent it at your local video shop. Btw are they still video shops if they mainly stock dvds?
Thank you ladies for your kindly comments about my spleening....I do my humble best...

WARNING: The following review contains unrepentently verbose grandiosity and a spoiler.
P.S. I Love You is a chick flick extraordinaire. Three hankies. One full nude backside shot of manly studliness. Opens with a CLASSIC couple's fight and closes with an impossible and improbable promise of More...

Finally saw PV...thoroughly agree...what a wonderful movie. They got everything just right!!Perfick!!!
I love SM stories. They are timeless...

Having just copped an eyeful of EN's manly buttocks, I think I'll pass, Terry. I am not a great fan of US romcoms...they tend to lay the sentiment on with a trowel.

This one used a shovel. But I am not ashamed to say I love hankie movies.

I too am not averse to a little gentle weeping...TMD was a favourite, but then that did have AR in it I think I tend to prefer English restraint to Hollywood wallowing, as a VERY general comment

But then we'll do something like As Good as it Gets, or Groundhog Day, or The Upside of Anger, or Mumford, or Juno, or Waitress ....

AGAIG!!!! Didn't that have the ridiculous premise of a young(ish) attractive woman falling for a VERY GOM!!! PULEASE!!!!!!!!I thought that was just the director's wishful thinking!!!!!

I did say it was a VERY general comment...one of my favourite chick flix is Fried Green Tomatoes, and nary a bared manly buttock in sight!!!

"Didn't that have the ridiculous premise of a young(ish) attractive woman falling for a VERY GOM!!! PULEASE!!!!!!!!I thought that was just the director's wishful thinking!!!!!"

As opposed to, say, the Alan Rickman/Kate Winslet pairing in Sense and Sensibility....

hey, we're talking about AR here..and he wasn't grumpy, just dignified and hiding his yearning beneath a veneer of manly restraint...

...and emotional constipation...and I'm not saying that's a bad thing either, I'd have to watch it again to see if he was sporting a stiff upper lip as well.
Terry, The Upside of Anger? Oh dear...but then I have to admit to being seriously moved by Bridges of Mad(d?)ison County, first by the More...

SPOILER. Maybe I've forgotten its twee moments 'cause I've not seen Upside of Anger in a while. Main thing I remember is Joan Allen's romp of unbridled rage when she believes she's been abandoned by her husband. Major hoot. And then to learn the poor guy was dead in the woods the whole time, and More...

haven't seen it Terry, but upon your recommendation I shall track it down and watch it!Does it contain a tasteful representation of KCs posterior? (just for added scientific interest!)
Been a long time since F9/11 Billy, have trouble remembering the details...enjoy...

Not certain I can vouch for scientific authenticity, unfortunately. But facial reactions more than suffice, I believe, as Costner plays a guy surprised to find himself falling happily in midlife for a broad who comes fully loaded with major baggage. Please post your opinion after seeing it.

Billy, I'm sure Michael Moore got it right, but don't have the stomach for detailed proof this bufoon of a prez has taken us places we were ill-prepared to go; had no biz going; had no good reason to go; etc. The Tracker, on the other hand, sounds promising. Hadn't heard of it; please post after you see it.

Highly recommend Charlie Wilson's War, particularly to nonAmericans who will see a personality type not uncommon in this country, but seldom seen in the movies. I admire the self-deprecating humor of Brits, Aussies, et al., and forget that it exists in our country as well. Just isn't the norm. To our detriment.

Haven't seen Charlie Wilson's War, but I've heard differences of opinion on it...shall eventually see it one of these days...

The Tracker - just finished viewing it having tried to position myself as to how an aboriginal would feel when confronted with fear/violence/abuse (asked to do this More...

can I remember how to spell remember?

Billy, We know you know how to spell. And puhleeze never apologize for writing an essay. Sometimes after I've seen a pic, there are thoughts I'd like to write down, and generally don't b/c don't want to be considered pompous (or stupid). I suspect lots of others feel the same way b/c I notice 99 More...

Terry dahling, if i thought or cared that people thought that I perhaps might actually be stupid because of what I write on here, I wouldn't be on here...so don't let that stop you...btw I am 97 people...you and Mary must be the other two.

...and a little pomposity doesn't cause seizures, does it? so why hold back? time to peel a grape and have some caviar on rye...toodles x

Blasted? Oh No,Terry, I think there was only a sigh and a muttered 'oh, well what can you expect....'We, on this site, are nothing if not polite!!!!

One is wondering if one is more "nothing" than "polite" at times...if one didn't blast every so often one would perhaps become severely anally retentive which, in turn, is detrimental to one's health. Is saying "you're wrong" different to a blasting? mmm? It's a good thing one is not judgemental on these pages....

bloody hell, how did we get to 6014? I was definitely not 20 people.

Of course Billy, blasting implies a use of forceful venacular, whereas saying someone is wrong can be done in the best possible taste

I'm having a Cupid Stunt aka Kenny Everett moment here Mary...oh those were the best of british humour days, although I am enjoying the IT Crowd...
I was here for a reason...ah yes...F9/11, just watched it(again)but can't remember how I responded to it 4 yrs ago. It's difficult to ascertain just More...

*bares= bears

Mary, I am one of the rare Americans who believes politeness is highly overrated. I was slightly exagerating when referring to an all-caps "puhleeze" as a blasting, and was not being defensive. I think it's a hoot to get a good "discussion" going, though cat fights are much more fun.

Billy, re F9/11, I can't watch it b/c I lived it. Know most of the facts, it's just too depressing to see them accumulated at one place at one time. And as a red-blooded Amurikin, let me assure you it would be impossible to make George Bush look like MORE of a buffoon than he really is since it now More...

As for comeuppance, there are some of us who believe in heaven only because we have to believe there will be a day of reckoning. Now, if this political diatribe hasn't offended at LEAST 20 people ... well, hell, I gave it my best shot.

'though cat fights are much more fun'.Yes Terry, but the blood under the fingernails is a bugger to get out

Aack. Posts won't post.

So, some will. I'll try again:
Mary, mah dear, you are speaking to a home remodeler. Primer is hard to get out from under fingernails. Also grout and thinset. Blood -- yah run warm water long enough, it all comes out. Meow. Let's discuss movies!!!

Hello - this is my first venture onto this site. Mary suggested I come here to report/review the movie 'Miss Pettigrew lives for a Day'.
Although the 'day' was amazingly hectic and Miss P's fortunes take many twists and turns, I found it a very enjoyable 'feel-good' viewing. If your love that More...
