: : : Saw in a previous post that you are a big fan of Ralph Fiennes. Sorry, but I beg to differ. Did anybody see the English Patient? Heard it was a real tear jerker & to bring a lot of tissues. The movie so choppy (scenes jumping back & forth) that Debbie & I kept telling ourselves OK maybe the tear scene is coming up next. Before you know it - they are rolling the credits!!! I kid you not for I shed not a tear during the movie. Can anybody honestly say they liked it? Not us! One of the few movies that made me wish for a refund. The other was End Of Affair starring Julianne Moore. I actually fell asleep during the movie.
: : : Oh well 2 out of 3 ain't bad ;) Hope to see you next year!

: : Vince: Couldn't agree with you more about The English Patient. Thought it took far too long for everybody to die. Haven't seen End of the Affair, but mostly because I haven't wanted to. It was Strange Days that MMMM and I love RF in - he just makes a great and sexy sleaze..... NightSky
: Nightsky, for some strange reason, my sister-in-law (Deb's youngest sister) is also a very big fan of Ralph Fiend [sic]. Still haven't forgiven her yet. Most perplexing... If somebody were to point a gun (or tomahawk) at me & forced me to watch Strange Days (or another of his movies) and if I were to dislike it then it's three strikes against RF. He will permanently remain on my lower than lowest caste (pun intended) list. VK

Vince: Believe me, Strange Days is nothing like the other two movies, totally different. And if you don't mind two hours of watching a buffed up Angela Bassett kick butt as a body guard (and dressed in black leather, I might add), then you might actually enjoy it. Tom Sizemore also gives a great performance. It's not a great movie, but if nothing else, it gives RF a chance to be something other than the laconic sloth he is in TEP. NightSky
