Movie suggestions?

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Tue Oct 01, 2002 11:14 pm

Heading out in about 20 minutes to return DVD's and might as well pick up some more.

What's good, not new release but within the past year or so?

LOL, watched Jack Nicholson's "The Pledge" last night, om my what a bad movie. The plot could've worked but...didn't.

And the ending was HORRIBLE!

Thanks for the ideas, I'll be sure to look at those next time I'm there (just got back). I've heard other people recommend some of them too so they must be pretty good.

Ended up with 3000 Miles to Graceland, Thin Red Line, and Rules of Engagement.

check out "Freeway" its a modern little red riding hood story with Reese Witherspoon. Came out in 1996. twisted, good movie.

Rules of Engagement is a great movie, I also heard 3000 milkes to graceland was good. I heard thin red line sucked(but that's just what I heard).

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Wed Oct 02, 2002 3:15 am

Just finished watching Rules of Engagement.

Pretty damn good, I enjoyed watching it. Didn't go quite where I thought it would but that's fine. Overall I thought it was well written, well shot, and well acted (I loved Tommy Lee Jones but he just didn't look like a 20 year old in the Vietnam shots, even with his face painted up and wearing a slouch hat pulled low...heh, he looked like a 55 year old trying to look like a 20 year old).

Was it actually an English flick or just had English characters?

Great movie, I agree. I liked LS&2SB better at first but after watching it a few more times I'm equally impressed.

Good question, I think it was directed by a Brit. That guy Madonna is mariied to, I think.

Depends who you ask I guess.

If was filmed in the UK with a mostly British cast and crew. It came out in Britain a few months before the US release. But it was filmed for Columbia pictures (Sony), most likely for a planned US release after Lock Stock became a cult hit.

So...I guess you could call it a British production of a movie intended for a US release, and funded by a Japanese company.

I'll check those out next time I'm there, I think I've seen interesting trailers for Ghost and the Darkness and it looks pretty good.

Decent enough, good suspense.

Val Kilmer, right?

yup and Michael Douglas.

edit: You know it's a true story right ??

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Sun Oct 13, 2002 2:06 am

Yup.

Railroad...Tsavo lions, slowed down the construction of the railroad...

In reality I'm pretty sure it was only one hunter though...Jim Douglas rings a bell (an article on them in one of my books somewhere) but I could be totally off on the name.

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Sun Oct 13, 2002 2:09 am

Chief engineer Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson finally succeeded in killing the murderous pair.

Yup, I was totally wrong. I wonder who the hell Jim Douglas is then

It really was a true story, watch the end credits, they have the liond skeletons in a museum, I forget where, but they do ahve them.

Here's a picture of the 2 actual "maneaters" that he killed...and that were responsible for the 140 or so killings:

Ummm,

didn't I just name them as Tsavo lions and why they created such an uproar (railroad). I know it's based on a true story.

The only reason I'm reiterating this that you quoted me as agreeing with you, then tried to convince me some more

Grimson · Post by **Grimson** » Sun Oct 13, 2002 2:19 am

I've been drinking tooo. Don't make me come over there.
