That's the one. Good film!!

Yeah, he's the anchor in that one. Carries the whole thing with subtle mastery. "Quiet in the storm."

That GODZILLA remake from 1998 was total shit, and a literal pain to sit through, but the only flickering ray of entertainment in that turd was the surreal moment where Reno does a dead-on Elvis impersonation. Surreal.

I've got another Jean Reno movie..name escapes me..He's a bloke on the run, and befriends a tough little kid. It's a good'un too, or maybe I just like Jean Reno! I could go and look for it, but that requires effort!!

name is : The Professional

If you like Jean Reno, you should try watching him in "WASABI" ...freaking hilarious

The "THE PROFESSIONAL" version pales in comparisson to the 2 hour-plus LEON "integral" version (so its labled). Some great character bits were trimmed, and despite the extra running time it still glides by as if it was 90 minutes (ala the American version known as THE PROFESSIONAL).

I watched Antonio Margheriti's final film, 1989's ALIEN FROM THE DEEP on a (bizarre) double bill with SOUNDER.

I'm still working my way through CSI:Miami - I am at the stage of watching merely to see HOW bad the writing can get!!

But I have noticed a couple of other things.  Miami must be an interesting place to live - there is not ONE overweight woman in the whole place.  Not walking down the street, not in shopping centres or restaurants - anywhere.  ALL the women are slim and relatively good looking.  There are a FEW overweight men - the occasional police officer, and more interestingly, bad guys or guys with mental disability.

Talk about stereotyping and image development.

I watched 'The Shooter' last night. Mindless, implausible action movie about a lone gunman played by Marky Mark being set up. Really quite stupid. I enjoyed it a lot.

I watched "Becoming Jane" yesterday. It was quite good. Took a few liberties with the life of Jane Austen but, if the viewer has not actually read any biographies of Austen, these would flutter by unnoticed. Have also been told I have to buy beer for my friends for the next month as it is against the unwritten rules of the Universe for men to go watch movies like that unless it is to impress members of the smarter sex and be all sensitive and such. Guess I have to buy you guys beer too.. bibibibibi

Who in their right mind would turn to Hollywood movies for literary enquiries? I don't think books or people who can read exist in Hollywood, they are mythical, like unicorns and Michael Jackson.

So I have to go to the forest, catch a sprite and drown it in alcohol and serve it to you? Ok then...

So this glass where a small and quite deceased Tinkerbell-like creature is slowly being pickled is of no use?

Be fair - there are a couple of people who know how to find a book and then kill it by turning it into a movie.  Murderers!! Defilers!! Slugs!! Beasts!!
