Spy Game was a good flick. It was realistic, good story, good acting, good cast.

Geez, American, I don't know.  I'm use to Redford making chick flicks for guys (e.g. "The Natural", A River Runs Through it", and "The Legend of Bagger Vance".)

Is Spy Game really worth the time to see Redford and Redford Lite (Pitt)?  Or is it a "pass the mantle" kind of movie so Redford can finally ride off into the sundance set.

or it's tripe and it's purely sensationalism and you shouldn't waste your time on it.
P.S.Legend of Bagger Vance was a joke

The Natural was a great movie.

 Spy Game is no chick flick, it's about the CIA, and gives a good showing on what they are about, and why we need them, while telling a good story.

  By the way Power Trip, after "Butch Casidy & The Sundance Kid", no one can really make fun of Redford.

I am bowled over by your stunning use of grammar and vocabulary.  Why don't you go smoke another, and come back when the edge is gone.

I think he meant that Spy games was a male chick flick, you know, it's sort of like what Briget Jone's Diary was for women but for men. As for Harry Potter, I'm getting sick of all this British, Jolly good cor blimey what what what talk. I say, would you like a cup of tea? Talk American for Gods sake!

I don't live in your country but could you tell me when Zoolander came out?

RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 27, 2001 7:17 AM

Zoolander... Wow what a great example of American cinema... what exactly is talking American?  Perhaps 100% American should answer this one...

RE: Weekend Top Ten Box Office Films   reply

Posted by 100% AMERICAN (hellskitchen_@hotmail.com) on November 27, 2001 7:35 AM

Speaking American is proper Kings English with dialect added through popular culture.

I know Zoolander already came out, but I have no ideal when.

 I like big butts and I cannot lie.

ZOOLANDER:  has been released in U.S. for 7 weeks now.  It's grossed about 44 million to date in the U.S. and is currently playing on about 700 theaters averaging about $700.00 per screen.

"The Natural" is excellent.  I'm simply noting that under Redford's direction, he has this thing for dreamy slow motion imagery and silence heighten sequences that bores the hell out of me--unless John Woo does it.

 Butch Cassidy and Sundance is a cool flick too, and so is "3 days of the Condor" yet after "Sneakers", "The Horse Whisperer", and "The Last Castle" I can make fun of Redford all I want.

I went with a girl to see Spy Game and she loved it, and it wasn't because of Brad Pitt.
It is truly an edge of your seat movie.
You can't predict the ending at all.

You don't like British accents? Then don't pay to see the movies. Harry Potter is set in Great Britain and written (quite well) by a British writer. So it is very appropriate that the characters talk in there own accents
