You've got a brain unclebuck so I reckon you'll love it. Very strange, very satisfying, very good.

If White Men Can't Jump is better, than being John Malcovich must be truly dire!

Brother in law thought White Men Can't Jump was great - so we went to see it at the cinema - 2nd worst film I have had the misfortune to pay to see (IMHO)

I'll mostly be watching Cold Feet then going to bed!

BJM is one of my favourite films of all time. It's definitely weird, but it's also highly original and it's never easy to predict what will happen next. Being a Malkovich fan helps too...

Only seen him in one film where he was an assasin with a homemade ceramic gun (can't recall what it was called). But he was good in that.

UB - Film you mention is 'In the Line of Fire' Starring Clint Eastwood, Rene Russo, and John Malkovich. Story is about JM's character trying to assainate the President of the USA, and Clint is a Secret Service man who tries to stop him. Very good film indeed.

I recall seeing the last 5 mins of BJM and well, it was odd, but I liked it. Plus JM is an excellent actor, so is JC!

Being John Malcovich is total garbage.

If you want a good film watch "The Ring".Just finished watching it,if you like horror films you'll love it..Also saw "Daredevil" this morning,that was okay.Watched "About Schmidt" yesterday,thats okay if you're a Jack Nicholson fan,a bit slow at times though.
Saw "Driven" yesterday too......rubbish.!!!

Still have "Gangs of New York" and "Ghost ship" to watch.

We like good stories 'round these parts

As for BJM.. a bit too The Prisoner, Brazil, New Avengers for me

Americans seem to lampoon themselves much better when they don't try to.

Markus - 'In the Line of Fire' that's the one. CE running along side the motorcade and almost having a heart attack was funny

Paul - "Gangs of New York" is that out on DVD already?? When I was in the States before Xmas I watched a 3hour(!) documentary called "The Real Gangs of New York" about the true story of the characters featured. Very interesting
