25th Hour

[Bravehearter]

I watched this movie again today, (I have it on DVD) and wow, this movie gets better every time I watch it.

For those who dont know, its a Spike Lee Movie from last year. Ed Norton, Barry Pepper, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, among others. I dont want to give too much away, but its basically about Nortons character going off to jail and the last hours of his freedom. It has some of the most powerful scenes that I have EVER seen on film, 2 that come into mind is the 'Fuck you' scene (Anyone who has seen it knows exactly what I am talking about) and the final scene with Brian Cox, that one its hard not to lose it.

I would recommend this movie to anyone. Has anyone here seen it besides me?

Yes..it was very good.

I saw a good majority of it.... but missed the end! Ah! But the first 75% of it was great. Ed Norton is a great actor.

I've seen it several times, and I loved the shit out of it.

The political tones are so fucking spot on, and the movie is just well made.

Plus Rosario Dawson is one sexy sexy lady.

Aaack! you probably missed the best and most emotional part! Get on it!

His monologue is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

Brian Cox's or Nortons?

Brian Cox is one of those supporting actors that can make or break a movie, easily. But I havent seen him Break one. The guy is amazing, simple as that. hes been in so many great movies, and did an awesome job playing Daphnies father on Fraiser.

Brian Cox is good stuff, he was the original Hannibal Lecter in "Manhunter" which was the original version of Red Dragon before they had to re-hollywood the whole thing.

I was speaking of Norton's monologue. The whole movie is based around Norton's regret for not stopping his dealing sooner, which correlate's to the 9/11 business, and the country regreting they didn't take care to stop an attack any sooner.

Well at least that's how I interpreted it. Let's hear it for Spike Lee ladies and gents!

[Bravehearter]

Oh yeah for sure.

The first role that got me hooked on Brian Cox was him as Argyle in Braveheart. then as time went on I saw him in more and more roles, all of them were amazing.
