Is there a movie

I heard a critics review on ABC radio last week for the new movie called "All is Lost" starring Robert Redford.
Nothing unusual about that I hear you mumbling...
This critic, who is known for not being overly generous with praise, gave this movie a magnificent wrap.... 9 out of 10 and a prediction that Redford would be nominated for an Oscar for his role.

Let's face it, Redford is aged on the extremely shady side of 70 and not what you would call a box-office drawcard these days.
This movie has only one character in it and apart from the opening dialogue, there are no more than 8 words spoken in the whole movie... some are repeated such as a radio distress call for help but apart from that,.. zip !

That sounds good Tezza, I'd watch that. I thought Jeremiah Johnston was one of his best, not a lot of talking in that either. He's a good 'face' actor. The small fleeting emotional expressions have to be the hardest to master, any idiot can deliver a line.

Remember The Old Man and The Sea? Along similar lines and Tracey was the man to carry that one off. It was on late night TV only a week or three ago and a bit dated SFX wise now, but still a strong performance.
 
"The Old Man and The Sea" starring Spencer Tracy... yep, one of my favourites from yesteryear. I agree Di, Robert Redford is indeed a great actor... says it all with his face and body actions.

I reckon this latest offering from Redford is sorta similar to Tom Hanks in "Castaway" without the crap associated with "Wilson".

Another shipwrecked/lost at sea movie,.. "The Life of Pi". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Hjrs6WQ8M

I loathe romance movies and poignant human dramas. Or any sad animals movies.
 
Chantilly Lace. Don't think it every hit the big screen but a great "chick flick".

I actually own Ferris Bueller's day off and haul it out once a year to watch. Cracks me up!

Also watch the black and white version of A Christmas Carol, the one with Allister Simms every Christmas Eve.

Field of Dreams - "if you build it, he will come". I like movies about sports. Slap stick still makes me laugh although it is violent, its obviously put on.

I usually like any thing that Sandra Bullock is in too (except the serials from the original).
 
Recently fell in love with
Tortilla Soup and Midnight in Paris.

And believe it or not, I just taped April Love, with Pat Boone. Great flick.
 
Phantom, I have also seen Wall-E, and it is a great story, too ! I think I like all those robots, and strange little gizmos. I really enjoyed Star Wars, with R2D2, and I have watched Batteries Not Included several times.
I used to like the talking car on Knightrider, too.
And, being an animal lover, I just love all the talking dog or other animals, like Dr. Doolittle movies .
 
Not that much into movies. I've watched all of these at least twice, by choice.

Love Casablanca, Star Wars, Jaws. One that I would highly recommend is "The Lives of Others" It won the Oscar for best foreign film a few years back.
