He's actually done some pretty good films. I liked Vanilla Sky but didn't it get slated?

Also has anybody been to any film festivals and could recommend? I think I'm gonna go to raindance this year and take my sister

true, I could see him playing a manic/crazy boyfriend in a romcom though, with Reese witherspoon or something

Meh? lol but it looks soo good :eek:

tbh I'm already expecting to be dissapointed by Rosies' acting, haven't heard too many good things about her

The action at the end is worth it, but honestly, it's a horrible movie. It's not even acting, it's just standing around, sticking her chest out and pouting.

However, I would also say it's the best use of 3D since Avatar (Tron Legacy was disappointing in the 3D side of things).

It was mixed reviews when it was released.

I enjoyed it even though some bits are really cheesy/cringe inducing.

Yeah I know what you mean but I really get that vibe from tom cruise so maybe it's him....there's something about his smile that's so corny. But then he has done some good films and he's done well in them so I'm torn.

Yeah I know what he HAS done but he's getting to that age where the good roles just suddenly drop away now.

Yeah, I was only messing. I don't think so tbh, he's only just started to arrive back on the scene with the whole embarrassment of the Scientology thing, so maybe he'll start to pick up good roles again. He's always been good as Ethan Hunt so I wouldn't classify that as 'bad'.

****ing Lady Gaga :facepalm2:

Annie Hall definitely fits the bill, didn't have to be a crime film. :p:

Have you seen The Graduate? I only got about 5 minutes of it before the stupid rented CD stopped working ( :rant:

) but it seemed to me like the kind of movie you were looking for earlier. :smile:

I haven't seen it but I might have a look... I have a lot of time to kill! Seems like it may not appeal to me though, too old (blasphemy on here) :redface:

. Cheers.

Vanilla sky is so confusing, I still don't get what the film was about several years after seeing it

hmm yeah I guess that's what most critical reviews will be/are saying about it too, interesting about the 3D though. I'd rather watch it in 2D though, 3D never makes me want to watch a summer blockbuster

I thought / still think it MI should have just been a trilogy.

Why?

Basically it was a sophisticated way of saying "and then he woke up and it was all a dream" ...but I still liked it!

Why?

Tom cruise is aging...as his acting ability is. Lol ok that's not my real reason, without getting into too much of a in depth discussion on whether any sequel is ever really needed

I just think that it's been an entertaining and decent franchise at 3 films, yeah the success of the films (would lead to the studio funding the film and the producer to want to make more) but I just never desired a fourth, sort of like Pirates of the Carribean for me

not that I dislike MI, I just never really thought of or wanted another installment in it. Can't say the same for The Bourne films though, I'd happily watch a fourth (with Matt Damon of course, which isn't happening unfortunately)
