    A history of Violence

    Saw it and enjoyed it, although the movie was short (96 min) but was interesting and was almost glued to it.

    It's on my "order" list. I'm a fan of Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris, so this one should play well for me.

          Thanks for reminding me about this film. I wanted to see it since the first time I saw the trailer on TV. Been watching a lot of ‘family’ type stuff lately with the wife, and I am ready for some good old ultra-violent, testosterone generating entertainment. I’ll try to rent it this weekend.

                        2/3 of the way through the film, I was becoming rather disappointed………gratuitous sex with a made-for-TV story line and dialogue. Then, finally, William Hurt hits the screen with one of the most outstanding and enjoyable cameos I have ever seen. You could just tell he was having a ball with this roll. And I had had ball watching him. Simply outstanding.

                        My wife had no intention of watching this, but was in the room when I started it, and became interested when she surmised the hero must have had some dark past by way he handle the attempted robbery at the diner. By the end, she shared my opinion; without Hurt’s incredible performance, a film worth missing. However, she now wants a house with THREE flights of stairs?!?!?!?

                              The Joey's (Tom) son and his brother I thought actually looked like they could be related... Overall it was good, a bit short and the ending was very sudden....

                                Ed Harris, along with his backup man and best friend, Viggo Mortensen, are peacekeepers for hire. After the Marshall of Appaloosa is gunned down by Bragg, a mean and dangerous local rancher ( Jeremy Irons ), the town fathers bring in Harris and Mortensen. The task of returning peace and justice to the...

                                Just watched a couple of historical feature films for work purposes. I often use films in my history classes to illustrate various ideas and make the students practice critical viewing skills (similar to critical reading and thinking skills applied to more traditional source material). I want them to...

                                I think there needs to be a sticky thread showing this history of the 800 series pricing. Now I dont remember or have all the models/prices/dates so feel free to contribute. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me. I will start with the Nautilus series.
