    Really don't understand people's reactions to movies like this. I mean my favourite movies of all time ranks Love Liza, Little Miss Sunshine, City of God, Bladerunner, Thin Red Line, Duck Soup, Withnail & I, and Cinema Paradiso amongst others, but I also enjoy no brainer popcorn movies like Love Actually, Superman Returns, Deja Vu, Saving Private Ryan, About a Boy etc. I'm not saying that movies like Love Actually, About a Boy, Deja Vu and the like will change the world, but as two hours of escapism they do the trick nicely.

    And personally I thought that Laura Linney and Emma Thompson's respective characters in Love Actually told great stories, and were played brilliantly by the two actresses mentioned

      Parts of it were good but it was a bit of a mess overall. Tried to do too much IMO.

        He played a great role in Jackie Brown or was that Divine Brown
        I'll update this next year.

            I only saw it for the first time and thought it was a good film. The plot wasn't great but it was alright enough.

              I managed to watch Intermisson once,i say managed because it was so cringeworthy and bad,it felt like a chore. Utter tripe if ever there was any. We have this thing in this country(or maybe it's every country),where if it's an Irish film no matter how bad it is,most of us will say it's great.
