In Reply to: What????? We obviously saw different movies. I thought the run-up to the posted by tinear on February 2, 2006 at 19:16:25:
We saw the same movie.
I was waiting for the heart her daughter drew in the window five minutes before it happened. There was no suspense there for me.I thought Red Eye was a farce too. I'm getting back to Netflix so I don't lower my standards and rent stuff like those two films.
Follow Ups:
where the pulse-pounding music and bright action stuns you a bit.
I like both the home Netflix thing and theaters.
You want real excitement? Rent "Blind Shaft." If that doesn't get your 5-stars then try Bus 174, a documentary of a botched hostage situation all of it shot "live."
Anyhow, back to those two films: I thought Foster's acting elevated the one and that Irish actor (Ciannan Murphy?) lifted Red Eye.
I see your point - Both performances were good but I had a few bones to pick.Cillian Murphy's role had some similarities to his "evil" character in "Batman Begins". Actors like Gary Oldman ( Christopher Walken in his prime) play dark characters with more range then Cillian mustered up for those two "bad guy" portrayals.
One other thing- in the same way I have trouble accepting Tom Cruise as someone over 22 years old, I have trouble accepting Jodie Foster as a heterosexual female. I don't think she played a grieving wife and mother successfully. Personally, I just couldn't buy it.
Either way, if you saw them in the theatre - Good for you! I think going to the movies and seeing a film on the big screen is where it's at ... Even though I'm glad I didn't shell out $10.50 each for those turkeys!
I always enjoy your posts Tin!
your point about the excellence of Walken and Oldman is spot on. Cillian is a superb young-ish talent and needn't be compared to anyone.
Jodie is a personal taste (or not, in this case) and I disagree: she totally convinced me as a Mom--- and she is one, you know. You must see a butch side I don't.
And I never pay full price: our local theater is $5.75 matinee.
Also enjoy reading your opinions, btw.
