#11  "The Others" was a good movie

#10  I liked Eyes Wide Shut, but then I'm a Stanley Kubrick fan. Nicole is attractive in a skinny pale girl sort of way, but the movie would have been fine with just about anyone else in her role.

It may be that her agent is doing the best he can with what he has to work with.

#8  "we need all the things the Kingdom of Heaven used to promise us but failed to deliver."

-someone doesn't understand their scripture or at least distorts it. My $.02 -- The kingdom of heaven or heaven on earth was a parable to describe if all men treated each other as brothers, i.e. love thy neighbor as thy self (one of Jesus's two big commandments)...the kingdome of heaven would be on earth. I.E. - the onus was on us to bring about that change through riteous action thus creating a very caring society, it was not up to God just to intervene because he thought it was time. Also, it didn't mean that the clouds would fall to earth and everyone would piss lemonade, shit skittles & eat all the orang pushups they wanted......in contrast, you'd have the best caring society possible by following Jesus' ethical construct, not some hocus pocus about angels running around on earth. No one ever said there still wouldn't be bad things on earth going on......hence free will in a dynamic environment. God I hate some atheists (hahaha, I love that line).

#7  And Hollywood wonders why its profits are down. Must be all that piracy.
Yep.
Piracy of all those crappy movies.
That's it.

#5  I've read one of Pullman's books. Didn't notice it being atheist propaganda. Boring as hell, yes---atheist propaganda, no.

#4  I was going to make that exact same point, but I see everyone beat me to it.

I saw the trailer for this movie and it looks cluttered, confusing, and tedious.

#3  Nichole Kidman had better seriously consider firing her agent, because even though she works a lot, the only movies of hers that get any "buzz" stink on ice. She is close to getting a "Jonah" reputation.

The Invasion.
Bewitched.
The Stepford Wives.
The Hours.
Moulin Rouge.
Eyes Wide Shut.
