Was told that the last 20 minutes of the film would make you cry like a baby, so despite the fact that I'm not a fan of Adam Sandler I watched it. And, it did make me baww pretty hard. Not the best movie, but I really liked it.

Saw this the other day, thought it was pretty good. Christian Bale and Melissa Leo were outstanding. Didn't think the movie was great though, certainly not in the same class as Raging Bull or Million Dollar Baby
 
Just watched this again...

not sure why I love it so much... feels like I should hate it but I don't.

I haven't seen this movie yet but I'm glad to see that Melissa Leo is still doing great work and getting acknowledged for it. I loved her when she was on Homicide.

Me too! Sgt. Kaye Howard was my favorite character on the show. Homicide's definitely one of my all time favorite tv series, way better than CSI and most of the other crappy police dramas on tv these days.
 
Since this has turned into a defacto HOMICIDE RULES thread...I have rewatched on the box set(cannot recommend highly enough), and that show was so far ahead of it's time. I hear how the Wire was this tremendous show, and it was good...but the praise that The Wire gets should have been lavished on Homicide instead. The whole cast was tremendous. Friggin Belzer has been milking Detective Munch for 20 some odd years now. Great trivia question...how many shows has that character appeared on??? Hell, I don't know.

Homicide > The Wire.

I think they both deserve a lot of acclaim. Shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that David Simon, creator of The Wire, worked as a producer and writer on Homicide.

As far as your question goes, I know he's been on almost all the Law and Order spawns, and I'm pretty sure he was in an episode of Arrested Development. I don't know what other stuff he's been in, I'm sure there's more.

CSI and all of it's spin offs is a ****ing joke.

Why don't we just start a HLOTS RULES thread? I'm going to guess Munch has been on between 7-11 different shows. In fact there was one show we were watching last month where he appeared as Munch, I forget which show tho. I loved all of the cast, but LOVED LOVED LOVED Andre Braugher. Pembleton rules all. I named my Ipod after him. Oh man, the grilled cheese sandwich thing with Bayliss is classic!

Incidently, I know they made Melissa Leo more mannish for Homicide but I didn't realize how pretty she really is outside of Howard.

That's it! Arrested Development. You're right.

My understanding about The Wire was that every season it chose to focus on one aspect of inner city life. I believe I read something about one season specifically focusing on the school system. Homicide was solely focused on the dets and their relationships. The books Homicide and The Corner are must reads. I haven't watched all of The Wire yet but I think having read The Corner first, it makes it easier to put in perspective.
 
I miss AD too!

Sorry Homicide fans...

Ummm no. Wow, how can I agree so much with you and you are just so FAR OFF on some things?:nhl_crach

As far as 1/2 hour comedies go, Get Smart kicks Arrested Developments smug/self important ass all over the place.
 
Getting back on track...

Kings_speech_ver3.jpg


When I went to go see this, I was expecting a historical drama with great acting. I didn't expect to be moved and riveted. The King's Speech is a great movie, a masterpiece in EVERY sense of the word. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled by a film. Geoffrey Rush is absolutely superb and Colin Firth does a great job portraying the stammering King. The King's Speech embodies pretty much everything that I love about cinema.

Best movie of 2010.
