She may be overrated (though likely due more to her family ties than to her gender), franciscan.

However, Lost In Translation most certainly was not.

How could you not have heard of Marie Antoinette, Blanche?

And, as far as Eastwood is concerned ... apparently, you've never seen "Paint Your Wagon".

I have not seen the trailer yet, Mason ... though I would like to.

Cage is very hit-or-miss. And, visually speaking, Ghost Rider would seem to be an extremely difficult page-to-screen translation. As are the movie's villains, Mephisto (played by Peter Fonda) and Blackheart (Wes Bentley).

That was actually what my mother claimed, A + B ...

though it seems like a rather far-fetched scenario to me.

Mademoiselle,
 I think Sofia Coppola is overrated. Critics gush when a halfway competent female director makes a movie. Lost in Translation?; way, I say WAY overrated.

I haven't heard of "Marie Antoinette", but we're still planning to see
"Flags Of Our Fathers".  Clint Eastwood doesn't do too much that's that bad.

Have you seen the trailers for GHOST RIDER? ...to open in Feb 07..

Maybe next weekend will be better for you.

An empty room collects dust too. Maybe the mess came from the previous time you used it and ddidn't tidy up.

Not sure what that symbol means, SYMPHONY.

Um, it was a rhetorical question, fourcats.

Well, I did roll a bowling ball under there, Tanga ... 

Just to be safe.

I feel that the primary objective of any film, SuccessWarrior, should be to keep the audience awake.

Check if the renter is not hiding under the bed!

I went to a play one time that I was supposed to write about
It was about a lady starving herself to death for 40 days.  I fell asleep during days 25 to 35.  I still wrote the paper.  I got a "D" on the paper.  Luckily, it was extra credit.  I gave the play an "F".  I have never fallen asleep in a play before or after that one.
