Elaine Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 and can I just say that this movie is da bomb, dawg? Russell Crowe, Joaquim Phoenix and Djimon Hounsou.:001_wub: And one of the all time greatest lines from a movie, "At my signal, unleash hell." My kids say this to one another in the morning right before we begin school.:smilielol5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Joachin have a fantastic, creepy performance in this film. I haven't seen it from the beginning because I happened to bump into it while channel surfing and couldn't stop watching. I'll have to Netflix it soon.

Jill- OK Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Joachin have a fantastic, creepy performance in this film. ...that Joaquin Phoenix is a genius actor, because I've seen him in an interview and he was just flaky, lol. Like, a total surfer boy, you know? Dh (who in his younger days, was built like Maximus, and still looks eerily similar to Russell Crowe in many ways) likes to say, "What we do in life, echoes in eternity!" I like to say..."Are you not entertained?!?" :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamom3 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 of seeing "PARTS" of that movie. I don't care to see it!! Dh LOVES, LOVES, LOVES that movie. I am not joking at how many times he has watched it! I will get up and walk out of the room every time it comes on. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Pirates of Caribbean...never finished watching those either..these are on dh's favorite list as well.

Dayle in Guatemala Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I love this movie. This was my first time seeing Joaquin Phoenix in a movie, and I'm a HUGE fan now. He's my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Whew. My face just got hot, better turn the fan on. :lol: I am really :lol:!! Have you seen American Gangster? When we saw the coming attractions for it, my husband rolled his eyes and said, "I guess we'll be seeing that. Russell and Denzel, you're favorites." And he knows me so well, because they are. My brother looks like Russell Crowe, he is adorable! This picture is a few years old, but he is still too cute. (I adore my little bro, just in case that isn't obvious;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajama Mama Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Is Gladiator appropriate for ds9 and ds12? Well, there is alot of fighting in it but my son who is almost 11 has seen worse. There is a scene or two that involves Joaquin's character and his sister. He is in love her and she's terrified of him. Nothing much happens and they don't show much but the inc*st angle may make some uncomfortable. That said-I love this movie and doubt that my son would pick up on the brother/sister thing.

MomofSeven Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 AM I NOT MERCIFUL!? This is a very useful quote when I don't feel like being too harsh to my dc :001_smile: This is my dh's favorite movie...I can't tell you how many times he's seen it. Anyway he loves the quote about our actions echoing into eternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add American Gangster to my Netflix queue, thanks for the heads up. I have not kept up with movies at all since moving out to the middle of nowhere-ville. I'll stop here before I embarrass myself with further comments about Russell Crowe and what he seems to do to me! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Yes, that movie is sure a piece of eye candy. DD just watched Atonement with me. She really did like James McAvoy, a lot, a real lot! I would have to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
