The movie is supposed to be three “stories” (“episodes”) with a common love theme throughout them (finding the “Fountain of Youth” in one form or another. The first is from the 16th Century, the second is from the present day, and the third is from some time in the future.
I've seen the preveiws. I'm trying to drcide whether to see it at the theater or wait till the dvd comes out.
No, all three “episodes” are in the same movie. It's one story with three parts.Another movie coming out I think called “The Good Shepherd”; about the origins/growth of the CIA. Starring Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie. Looks fairly interesting.
That one does look good. Is anyone going to go see 'Bobby'?
No thanks. I'm sure that won't have an extremely Leftist slant or anything. 🙄 (yes, I've already pre-judged it without seeing it)

Are you not going to see it because it doenst have a leftist slant? 😀
A new westen started filming called Seraphim Falls staring Peirce Brosnan and Liam Neeson. Brosnan plays a Colonel in the union army who after the civil war starts out on a journey to kill Neeson, who I guessed killed his wife. Can anyone say Outlaw Josey Wales?
Martin Scorsese (not sure if I spelled it right) newest is an adaptation of a historical novel called, ?The Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal and Trial by Combat in Medieval France?. Written by Eric Jager, the book is about a duel between two knights in 1386. Jean de Carrouges and Jacques LeGris battled in the last fight ever sanctioned by the French government. The book tells their story while explaining the culture and ideas behind what they were doing. The story told is based on a real event, but the author acknowledges that all the details of the duel aren?t known and so he fills in the gaps.
Speilberg is making a movie about Lincoln and will star Liam Nesson in the title roll. I really like Liam Neeson (I dont know if thats the correct spelling or not) But as Lincoln? It might work. I still think Gregory Peck was the best Lincoln.
I think non-American actors can play American figures quite well. It's sometimes the most impressive when I've seen a convincing role of an American character, only to find out later the actor who played him is British or Irish. I think good acting is good acting regardless.
I agree. Michael Cain is a good example of what your talking about.
Ugh…maybe I should have said “beside Michael Cain” 🙂 . Actually I haven't seen him play any historical American figures, but in one movie where I saw him portray a modern-day American, his accent was the worst I had ever heard a Brit do. I took note of it because normally Brit actors can do American accents quite well.
What? How can you say that? Cain is a great actor. I've never heard him do any bad American accents. Second hand Lions is a good example of a great texas accent.
Watch “Around the Bend” and you'll see what I mean. I listened to him going from American South to British cockney back to American….I had trouble suspending belief when I had to figure out where this character was supposed to be from.
