Review: Reign Over Me

What a wonderful movie just plain and simple as that.

This movie really did have everything and the cast did a wonderful job. Who says Sandler can't act? They are lame if they still say that after this movie. Don Cheadle was just perfect his acting was really perfect to say the least.

I'll just put it like this if you liked the trailer then you won't be disappointed. In fact it was even better than I ever dreamed it could be.

This is not a 9-11 movie so do not let that scare you off it's just part of the backstory of Sandler's character.

You care about the people in the film and feel that they are real and that is what makes a good film.

I am not really sure what to rate this film I really don't I feel that I would not be able to do it justice if I were to just put a number on it.

So Verdict: 10 out of 10

A wonderful story with a perfect mix of everything.

OFFICE RELATED: BJ Ryan played a part and wow he may have played the biggest jerk I have ever seen in a movie. I would have used a stronger word but it would block it out I am sure. P.S. He was a lawyer with no heart. Good thing he was put in place.


i'm gald ot hear it was good because alot of other reviews sad it was kind of bad sad.gif

another good thing about it, apparently adam sandler donated his entire paycheck to the families of 9/11 victims

PS
i just saw For your consideration and thank you for smoking, and they were both hysterical, and they both had office characters in them. In for your consideration, i rewinded and watched the part with john in it three times tongue.gif

On RottenTomatoes it's at 65% which is fresh and users have it at 90% Fresh so it seems most end up liking it.

Though I know not everyone will like it because some people just don't like movies with no action or whatever. Everytime I thought it started to drag it picked back up like 2 seconds later LOL.

Reign Over Me that is.

I absolutely LOVE A Room with a View! In my very humble opinion, it is the absolute best adaptation of a movie from a book ever made and that is saying A LOT because there are many book to movie adaptations that I like a lot (P&P, LOTR, Princess Bride, etc.) I love, love, love Freddy's hair and striped jacket, Daniel Day Lewis is the consommate actor as usual and is hysterical. Anyway, I could go on and on, but I do hope you enjoy it -- especially the "bathing scene." Ha ha!

Mirren and Harris Hunt National Treasure

JoBlo
has learned that Oscar-winner Helen Mirren (The Queen) will play Nicolas Cage's mother, Emily Gates, in Walt Disney Pictures' National Treasure: Book of Secrets.

The site says that Emily will help link Gage's Ben Gates to his family's connection to John Wilkes Booth and the mysterious Knights of the Gold Circle.

And the bad guy this time around? Four-time
Oscar nominee Ed Harris. He'll play Jeb Wilkinson, who has some information about Gates' father and aligns himself as an ally.

Returning for the Jon Turteltaub-directed sequel are Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and
Harvey Keitel.

Ray Winstone Joins Indiana Jones 4

Ray Winstone (The Departed, upcoming Beowulf) has signed on for a major role in Paramount Pictures' Indiana Jones 4, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Although the film's plot is being closely guarded, the trade says Winstone will play star Harrison Ford's sidekick.

Cate Blanchett already has boarded the project, to be produced by Lucasfilm and directed by Steven Spielberg.

David Koepp wrote the screenplay for "Indy 4," which is scheduled to begin filming in June in Los Angeles and at top-secret locations around the world.

Paramount Pictures will release the film day-and-date worldwide May 22, 2008, with a handful of territories opening the following day.

Frank Marshall is producing, with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy executive producing.

Okay Scranton Temp. Apparently I didn't do my homework. Heddy is deceased. I have no idea why her website would want to see my pic and then come back with, well, she's gone so she can't identify anyone in your pic. I guess they just wanted to see it.

Thanks to the pet thread, I think I have figured out how to post the picture and what is written on the back. Ralph, my father-in-law, is third from the right.

laugh.gif I just had the most seriously frightening moment with my four year old daughter:
She's watching Lady and the Tramp, and the two dogs were having their "bella notte". She suddenly she says, "awww....They're going to sleep together!" blink.gif

It was a moment before I realized that she literally meant sleep, because they show them waking up next to each other the next morning.

Oh yeah- I love Desk Set. I actually find it kinda tame compared to some of the scenes in Women of the Year with the both of them. I actually couldn't believe a few of the scenes in that movie being made in 1942 and all. Not that it was anything like today's movies- but still. It was a great movie too. But yes- I do like Desk Set smile.gif

I love Desk Set too. The champagne scene when Katherine is telling the "mexican avenue" bus story.

I really did like the movie. I've been renting a lot of BBC movies and series lately. I'm getting North and South from Netflix next- this is not the Civil War one- it's a BBC mini-series. I've heard it's really good.

We just got Benchwarmers in recently from netflix. We started to watch it tonight and of course, the disk is all screwed up. But its really not worth reporting to them and getting a new one. We just switched over to the Discovery Channel. Much better.

Okay - just got back from a matinee of "Meet the Robertsons (3D)" that I took my daughter to see (I "kidnapped" her out of class as a treat because I've been away on a business trip for more than a week)... it may be nothing but sleep deprivation, but I really LOVED this movie.

The reviews were not kind, but for some reason, this one worked for me. Very funny (for me), very clean and engaging (for her).

Looks like this is one to add to the "buy it when it comes out" list.

Has anyone seen 'Brick' ?
Anyone who likes Hammett, may enjoy it -Dash's language-The Glass Key (with an amusing nutso William Bendix standin). I liked it.
bubblewrap_1
Netflix movie (or should I say series) of the day: North and South (2004). It's a BBC mini-series. I've heard some really great things about it- and it has a 9.3 out of 10 rating on IMDB- so I'm guessing it is good. It's in 4 episodes- and on 2 disks, each 2 hours long so it might take me a few days to watch it.

I thought this was a great movie! Although I haven't been able to find anyone else who enjoyed it as much as I did. My friend tells me it was too fast paced.

I really like watching foreign movies, most of it is more entertaining than some of the stuff we put out. Anyone else a big foreign movie watcher?

Ok- so I just finished watching all 4 hours of this mini-series ohmy.gif biggrin.gif Believe me- once you start watching it, it's impossible to stop. This is the best mini-series from the BBC I've ever seen. I can't even begin to recommend it enough! It reminds me, in a way, of a Jane Austin novel- which the book this is based on was not written by her. But this series is amazing- everyone should add it to their list of must watch biggrin.gif

He screams nearly every time he seems him. I've already decided to quit nursing/pumping because every time I do, he takes it as an opportunity to misbehave.

Kate Beckinsale was in Emma. I've heard about the new versions of these books. From what I've read, the new adaptation of Mansfield Park wasn't very good- but Northanger Abbey was. Both were ITV adaptations instead of the BBC. (And I do love the BBC) I'm still interested in seeing both so I can draw my own conclusions though.

ITV is okay, the mainly run american programs on it anyhow. ITV2 runs the american verison of the office at like 1030 at night though,ugh! BBC has been slacking on some its programs though. They've seemed to put more money and effort into junk tv. Billie piper is one of those you either like her or don't. I liked her in dr who. so I'm sure I would enjoy it. I hated paltrow in emma so much. I had to turn it off.
