The Road to Perdition

[red_rose]

Incredible flick.

I highly recommend it.

I laughed, I cried... I oooo-ed and aaaahh-ed.

Incredibly directed by Sam Mendes.

(And, hey...the website just gave me goosebumps.)

Oh, and they made Jude Law look hideously ugly. Amazing, huh?

 

[Laurel]

I don't believe it. Jude Law is...not hideous.

 

[red_rose]

They make him look prematurely bald... give him rotting teeth...and his lips are like PERMA-chapped.

Hideous, I tell ya.

His eyes are still gorgeous though. I guess they couldn't fix that.

I am so jealous of people who can see the hot new movies on opening weekend.

 

[Poor Yorick]

I thought Jude Law looked nastiest when he was driving his car at night towards the diner.

Overall, I thought the movie was pretty good.

I believe I must start the Foundation for Men Who are Not Hideous.

This just in:

It's called Road to Perdition.

Not The Road to Perdition...

Doh.

That's it, RR. You're fired.

 

[red_rose]

That's it, RR. You're fired.

lisa and i both hate tom hanks and tom hanks films ... would we still like this movie ?

I really enjoyed it but then again I love Tom Hanks ... I think he is a terrific actor. The kid was awesome but the best parts were probably the cinamatography and the music. I need to get that soundtrack.

He's in about 90% of the movie. LOL But he's not typical-Tom. He's sullen and serious. And he really doesn't say a whole lot.

You might still like it.

If I were you, I'd go just for the cinematography.

How could anyone hate BIG? You must be like 21 or something. When that movie came out, it was as big as FOREST GUMP. Don't tell me, you didn't like that either.

I think much of it goes back to seeing movies on the big screen around the time they were released.

thanks redrose thats kind of what i meant ... was it a typical tom hanks performance ... i might give the film a try i've heard good things about it



and marxist 45 actually ... well 45 or 19 one of the two ... but i do remember seeing BIG on tv ... forest gump was ok a bit too touchy feely but fairly good and funny it would of been better with less tom hanks though



i think thats what is wrong with tom hanks he acts like he was still doing BIG (a kids movie) whatever type of movie he does

I was never a real big fan of Tom Hanks in the past, but..
seems ever since "league Of their Own" and "Saving Private Ryan" came out, Hanks has really reinvented himself as an actor...he's been able to add considerable substance to the dramatic roles he's tackled, and I've been pretty much a fan of his since. Takes a pretty good "ALL-AROUND" actor to change speeds as drastically as he has, and suceed.
