I thought she was great in "The Professional"; she was young but still appealing. That girl got them all: beauty, talent, and intelligence (she's a harvard student). I saw a glimpse of her once in Harvard's square.
Natalie Portman is dating musician Moby; a friend of mine is a technician on Moby's road crew and has met Ms. Portman several times. He reports that she's quite nice and is completely lacking any self - important movie star attitude. On the other hand the roadies do tease Moby about "cradle robbing". He's mid - 30s, she's about 20.

...so you guys cracked the easy one. How about the other pic?
You are thinking about that Pretty Baby movie, but this is not it.It is, however, dangerously close...
That's Susan Sarandon (not J. Edgar Hoover) as Janet in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". She and Portman played delusional mother and long-suffering daughter, respectively, in last year's "Anywhere But Here" (I rented the DVD a few months ago and fell asleep through it). The mother was incredibly tragic and annoying because she did "everything wrong for all the right reasons".Sorry that "Top Secret" didn't work for you. Thought you'd appreciate the Jimmy Carter joke.
***That's Susan Sarandon (not J. Edgar Hoover) as Janet in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".Right. How was that movie - I have not seen it. Is it worth one buck?

I have been considering this one for Natalie's sake - she has done too few films lately and I have that predisposition towards her. But I have been suspicious of this one and your comments make it so much more questionable. It still looks like she has not been able to find a good vehicle since her only true masterstuck.
***Sorry that "Top Secret" didn't work for you.
Oh, well, movies come and movies go and we managed to get few good laughs, so the buck was not a waste. Plus I needed something like this to thaw my wife after the Cyclo - she took it just too hard, barely stayed to the end. She is very sensitive to things overdone and I don't exactly blame her for this one.
I actually recalled seeing the Top Secret before, pieces of it on TV.
***Thought you'd appreciate the Jimmy Carter joke.
I suspect I missed that one. What was it?
Yes....Nathalie Portman is definitely one of my favorites too!Watch Beautiful Girls (a very good film) and you too will perhaps feel the urges that Timothy Hutton's character does. Nathalie's young in this one and she certainly is growing up nicely!

"Rocky Horror"--The music is okay but the plot is awful. This is a viewing best experienced as an audience participation event (probably midnight Fri. or Sat. at your local art house theater).I would skip "Anywhere But Here" and try "Where The Heart Is" (I haven't seen it yet, but it looked promising), instead.
In "Top Secret", the line was: "But he was one of the lucky ones. He escaped from America in a hot air balloon during the Jimmy Carter administration."
...and not the 1990 one.Don't you think this picture throws the bridge to "Leon" where little Mathilda also walks down the street with a plant?
I shudder wondering who the father is.Well, I liked the 1990 "Where The Heart Is", as it featured a lot of Trompe l'oeil art (some of it with a nude Uma Thurman) and Christopher Plummer as a homeless magician called "Ol' Shitty".
***I shudder wondering who the father is.The funny part is, the plant ain't any bigger...
