Bad things seem to happen to them, too.

Although there was Suzanne Pleshett in 'The Birds'. She was a brunette...

Too creepy. Last night's film was To Catch A Thief. The road where Francie (Grace Kelly) outruns the police in a wild chase is the same road where Princess Grace actually had her fatal accident.

I went DVD shopping today. I probably should have watched the stuff I own that I haven't seen yet, but why would I do something like that?

Everytime I see the trailer for 'World Trade Center' I cringe. Not because of the subject matter, but just seeing Nicholas Cage does that to me. Ugh.

I agree, he hasn't aged very well.

I like Nick Cage, even though I never found him attractive. That mustache he's sporting for WTC is definitely cringe-worthy though!

I think I'd see Flight 93 before I'd see the WTC movie.

I liked Nicholas Cage in The Weatherman, that was a good movie.

Hmmm, I hated that movie (though I admired what I think it was trying to say). That's when I knew that Pirates 2 would suck, and Gore Verbinski had only one good film in him.

I like Nicolas Cage in almost everything he's been in. Oooh, what's that one where he's the ambulance driver? Haven't seen it and should Netflix it.

I didnt' care for nasty trash like Con Air, but surprisingly enjoyed fluffy trash like National Treasure. I would be seeing World Trade Center whether he was in it or not, so having an actor that I've enjoyed all but one performance of his does nothing but add to the attraction of the film for me.


Oh, and what's that one where he's the arms dealer? Gosh, that was a great movie, out in theaters for all of two seconds and well worth a Netflix rent that I am hereby highly recommending (but you have to come up with the title yourself - - Dogs of War, Lords of War, something like that).

I LOVE books and I LOVE movies. Just revisted a wonderful film about books and love of books, 84 Charing Cross Road. I hate pan and scan, but this film is so intimate, it's okay, I dealt with it.

A nice script, no, a beautiful script and wonderful performances and I had forgotten Judi Dench was in it! Adore Antony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft.

If you've not seen it, do rent it via Netflix, it's a lovely film.

I'm riding the fence on these. Does anyone else think we shouldn't capitalize on this subject? Or are we just putting it on film to remember for future generations? The movies seem to be more "hero" oriented, and remembering those people is cool and all. I'm just having a hard time deciding weather it's right or not, and weather I'll see them.
