Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I've seen Natalie Portman in lots of movies. I still think she did her best work at 15 in Beautiful Girls. She was fabulous in that film, and I haven't thought of her that way since. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

If there is radio communication within the affected area, all you need is a relay at the edge of the are with a short cord. I'll pass along some advice: the answer to the question "Why didn't they do X?" in any movie is: Because otherwise there'd have been no movie. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

It was just on the other night. An incredible movie ( Leon: The Professional ). Gary Oldman is spectacular! |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I missed it, but I'm told she never had to do multiple takes in that movie. Though I think that hitman was best as a lead character in The Ronin, unless I've got my films mixed up. Just recently found out that Stalag 17 was shot in chronological order so that the actors did not have access to the final scenes but only received the final pages of the script near the end of the filming. This was done to prevent any actor from 'telegraphing' the identity of the culprit by some subtle interaction in front of the camera. Sometimes directors are sneaky. |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12419 | Recently: Annihilation I highly enjoyed about 85% of it. It kind of lost me at the end when it goes off the wall. Overall I'd recommend it though because it's refreshing to gets dark, adult-targeted sci fi movie. Game Night I really liked this. It's a mainstream studio comedy, but it's much more clever than the usual fare. And Rachel McAdams is always great. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
