I just got finished watching "Return of the King" and I loved it! I'm too tired to write more detail about it like I sometimes like to, but I really did enjoy. Without spoiling it, I gotta say that using the dead army was cool. Now that I think about it, since it's based on the book from J.R.R Tolkien, I guess you can't really spoil it by saying what happens. Movies based on a book have the ultimate spoilers. Anyway, I loved it!

Yes, I could not find fault with it on any level.

It's a big accomplishement from somebody who made "Meet The Feebles."


That should also be on your Australian list, I think. Not to
everybody's taste though.


There's been some headscratching about what the big summer
science fiction film will be. I guess it'd have to be the
Captain America one with Gwyneth and Angelina. Another comic
book take if I'm not mistaken from seeing the trailers.


When is this stuff going to "grow up"?


Grownup here means for the Bladerunner audience who want
a mature approach to speculative fiction.

This just in.........." in the hottest story to hit Tinseltown in decades, it was revealed by New Line that Viggo Mortenson was cast in the role of Aragorn when the original Viggo, errrr Aragorn, was unable to climb down from his perch in the second sub-basement of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "
I have it on good authority that the diminutive Mortenson (he should have been a Hobbit) was a last minute substitute and no one will reveal who the first pick was. But he was terrible, wasn't he?
And is that Miranda Otto woman a classic British Babe, or what??????????

Bill, you gotta break down the code for this. ;-)


I remember Viggo Mortensen from early in his career in a film
called "The Reflecting Skin." V. is no Robert Wagner as
Prince Valiant I suppose. And he can't deliver the St. Crispin's
Day speech like Branaugh. As an actor I like Sean Bean better.


I was prob'ly the only one in the theatre the day I saw
the first Tolkien film who remarked, "That's Viggo Mortensen," as in
"What's he doing in this show?" Hugo Weaving was sort of spooky
too.


I was glad Harold Perrineau made it into the Matrix shows.
That surprised me as well.
