A Beautiful Mind
 
Just saw it...

I don't know what to say. Its very easy to see why it won best picture, and why the cast won both best actor and supporting actress. It was such a good movie.

Anyone else seen it?

TheGrimReaper 01-27-2002 02:54 AM

No not yet, I've heard good things though.

Shadow_Link 01-27-2002 06:26 AM

Well, since I live in London, we don't normally get to see films as early as you guys in the U.S...

Sigma, have you seen Vanilla Sky?

Maybe we don't (although i don't live in London), but theres still some we see first. Like Lord Of the Rings.

Tunnelvision456 01-27-2002 09:06 AM

I haven't seen it yet, but I want to.

BlueFire 01-27-2002 09:55 AM

Nope..Haven't seen it yet... I haven't seen any recent movie since Ocean's Eleven.

Ginkasa 01-27-2002 01:48 PM

I'll see it at some point....


Probably when it comes out on DVD or video...

yeah

that was a really good movie too.

TheGrimReaper 01-27-2002 06:37 PM

From what I have heard Vanilla Sky was crap.

Revival 01-27-2002 06:40 PM

I haven't seen any movies since that god forsaken Kate & Keopold that Kristen dragged me to -- stupid chick flick..

TheGrimReaper 01-27-2002 06:47 PM

Some chic flicks are alright. Like Notting Hill, I mean thats a chic flick you can actually SIT through.

The_Dunadan 01-27-2002 08:22 PM

i saw it and loved it! russel crowe should, and probably will, win best actor. i dunno about best picture.

Xantar 01-27-2002 08:39 PM

Russell Crowe is not going to win best actor. He already won last year, and the Academy never gives an award to the same person two years in a row.

Which is really too bad, because I consider his performance in this movie to be far superior to his turn in Gladiator.

A Beautiful Mind will make you laugh, will make you cry, will make you think...and you'll never look at your roommate the same way again.

Gohan35 01-27-2002 09:07 PM

i'snt Roswoll Crowe schizoehrenic (in the movie)

Sigma 01-27-2002 09:32 PM

well he got the golden globe award already, and his wife in the movie (don't know her real name) won best supporting actress and the movie did win best picture.

Though they were all golden globe awards.

Mechadragon 01-27-2002 09:40 PM

Yeah, and you can pretty much buy Golden Globes so thats not much........

Didn't Tom Hanks win it twice in a row? I thought he did, but I may be mistaken...
Edit: Yeah, he won for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" in 1993 and 1994 respectively...So they can give out the award to the same person...it just isn't likely.

By the way, has anyone seen The Royal Tenenbaums? I thought it was good movie, wondering what everybody else thinks...

N8 01-27-2002 10:26 PM

*notices this topic isn't about him*

*walks away*


;)

nWoCHRISnWo 01-27-2002 11:01 PM

This is one of those movies that falls in my list of "movies I'd rather kill myself than watch."

TheGrimReaper 01-28-2002 12:19 AM

Oh yes, I have a list similar to that.

That's the problem, don't listen to critics, they don't know anything, only a select few are brilliant!

Its not that they don't know anything, its more that they know too much. Critics nitpick at all these small things that nobdoy cares about or even notices.


And they always seem to love those unknown movies that nobdy's heard of......

TheGrimReaper 01-28-2002 06:26 PM

Well, critics are only giving their opinion,

so whaddya gonna do.
