Life as a House - Kevin Kline finds out he has terminal cancer and decides to mend relationships with his wife and son while building his dream house over his childhood home. I’ve been a fan of Kevin Kline since I first saw A Fish Called Wanda back in the day and found this to be an entertaining, touching (no homo) movie. Hayden Christensen starred as Kline’s troubled son and actually wasn’t completely insufferable in this role.
The Last of the Mohicans - do I really need to explain this to anyone? It’s Last of the Motherfucking Mohicans. Should be required watching. If you don’t get goosebumps and a hardon from the epic main theme alone, you aren’t much of a guy. Starring Daniel Day Lewis (who can goddamn act) and the sexy Madelaine Stowe.

Last of the Mohicans can also be viewed on Hulu.com
I’ve never seen it until a month ago. The theme is amazing and the two Native Americans hanging out with Daniel Day are bad ass. And the fight scene at the end was bad ass.
Favorite: The Indian who hated all white people. That dude was bad ass.

He was a crazy mofo all right. I’m gonna have to hit up Barnes and Noble tomorrow and pick up the book (though I hear the movie was more faithful to the original film adaptation).

Read a book? It isn’t 1930, Anoym. Why are you reading on purpose?

Haha you know, I was betting I would get called out for mentioning r**d*ng in a movies thread.
It passes the time until my porn finishes downloading.

That’s what the T-vixen thread is for. Wait, what?
Movies WolBarret has watched:
The Collector: Imagine the Saw movies but more focused on the villain. I liked it. Bloody and violent. Gave me the Sado-masochist erection I was looking for.
GI Joe: I liked it. Channing Tatum has the emotional compass of a brick. Storm Shadow is a bad ass and is better than Snake Eyes. Live with it.
some insomnia kicking in this week; just finished Body of Lies with Crowe and DiCaprio (sp?). Pretty good stuff, pretty brutal - though short- torture scene.
Friday night saw Harold and Kumar 2: Make CERTAIN that you see the unrated. Hilarious.
Thurs saw Role Models- Stiffler ALWAYS cracks me up. Slumdog Millionaire earlier that night- yeah, a bit too long and far-fetched, but a great story if you can get past the willing suspension of disbelief.

Not trying to dissuade you from reading the book, but Last of the Mohicans is one of the rare, rare cases where the film adaptation is MUCH better than the book which spawned it, IMO.
KNOWING: You guys ever feel like eating a plain bologna sandwich and punching yourself in the face after watching a Nick Cage movie? I usually do…but not after this one. They came up with a very interesting idea and did a great job of running with it. Lots of plot twists that keep you guessing. Definitely worth a watch.
REAL TIME: This is a Canadian movie, filmed entirely in Hamilton. Low budget, very cool film which makes you examine the progress of your life so far.
Glory - awesome movie, how did I miss this years ago. Stellar cast with Morgan Freeman, Denzel, and Matthew Broderick. I love war movies and this one ranks up there.
Memento – Cool concept and cool movie. I like that it was purposefully kept ambiguous.
Man of the Year – Neat idea for a story, but poorly executed. The movie couldn’t decide if it was a (unfunny) comedy or drama.
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny – It was shit, but at least I knew it was shit going into it.
The Graduate – This was surprisingly funny in parts. For the most part, I really enjoyed this. Dustin Hoffman is a great awkward kid, even if he was like 30 when he filmed this.
Blazing Saddles – Not as funny as I remember although it does have some classic lines. It’s funny to think that this is part of the origin of potty humor in movies.
I Love You, Man – Cute, in fact, too cute to be a real funny comedy. Not enough laughs.

Movie Question -
In the Haunting (1963), was Theo supposed to be a lesbian? I can’t tell if they meant this on purpose or by accident.
No idea about your question, I have not seen the movie, was it any good?[/quote]
It’s “funny”. I end up laughing at how they speak more than anything but they kept hinting (at least from what I could tell) that Theo was a lesbian only they wouldn’t just come out and say it (which was also funny). I am doubting there was a period in the 60’s where people actually spoke like they do in this movie…but to me that did make it interesting to watch.
October Girl answered the question though. I’m just not aware of too many lesbians portrayed in 60’s movies…or 70’s for that matter. It stood out.

Lesbians didn’t exist in the 60’s and 70’s. At least not in my America.
