Phone Booth

[TheRingBearer]

This is the movie based around a phone box for the entire film. I man (Colin Farrell) uses the booth cause his girlfriend checks his mobile phone called number (i think) and it rings. On the other end is a sniper (Kiefer Sutherland) who says if he leaves the box he will be shot. Once proved he is not bluffing the entire film is shot round this one guy. Plus the whole film was filmed in 10 days for little over 2 million dollars or something.

Sounds good. I haven't seen it but it is coming out in the States shortly since it has been delayed due to the real seriel sniper incidents. Should be a very suspensful experience. Check out its profile here: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0183649

Sounds good RB... tho i can understand why they've delayed the film coming out. LOVE keifer Sutherland... so IF we get it here... shall definitely make the effort to go.:thumbs:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Yeah, that sounds quite special! And Keifer has both, looks and skills! I'm a little short on remebering new names, can't seem to remember which film I've seen Colin Farell in, jogging my mind like...! Any help out there? Low budget movies often prove to be great, hope to see it up here soon!

[TheRingBearer]

Colin Farrell has been in the war film 'Tigerland' and the mighty 'Minority Report'.

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Oh, what was the name of his caracter in MR?

[TheRingBearer]

Arhh, I can't quite remember. The dvd should be coming out soon anyway :thumbs:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Jeez, thats real soon! 'm really looking forward to seeing it again!

[Ronin]

Colin Farrell played Detective Danny Witwer in Minority Report...brilliant movie btw :thumbs:

oh and i do believe that Phone Booth has gotten a new release...middle or beginning of Feb. looks like it'll do battle with DD :grin:

[Catz]

hmmm i wonder whether the delayed release will mean itll be proportionatly later in the rest of the world too, or if theyll just release in fairly quick succesion?
the premise of this one is intrigueing, and ive always liked Keifer Sutherland as a actor....

Ah, Ronin, always uptodate! :) You put it all in place for me, thanks! ;)

[Ronin]

lol...always a pleasure, anyways...i need to find some way to vent all this useless knowledge right? :thumbs: ;)

u can always try to keep up the hope eh kitty? lol...poor thing...NZ ain't the place for proper theatrical openings, thats for sure :rolleyes:

and keifer is not only a great actor, but perhaps one of the finest voice actors in Hollywood...if only they'd use him!!

[TheRingBearer]

DD means Daredevil right? :grin: Sorry if I sound stupid.

You mean you don't have a deletebutton? I use mine frequently, actually it can be a problem cuz I'm to triggerhappy with that button...

[Ilmarë]

:rolleyes: NZ isWAY better off for films arriving than Dumfries is!!!... and yes ... Keifer Sutherland.. is wonderful. Loved him in The Lost Boys:naughty:

[Ronin]

Vamps again...geesh :rolleyes: lol

and Cuiel, i refuse to believe in the delete button...refuse to filter myself!! lol :naughty:

[Catz]

yeah Sutherland was great in the lost boys............hes matured as an actor tho......he was wonderful in that miniseries 24, not that i managed to catch all of them, but what i saw was great...........and its uncanny how much like his father he looks...more and more as he gets older....
and no worries Cuiel....i have a REALLY big delete button..........and a trout, and a whip :trout: :fanboy: ;) just in case our lil petal Ronin gets out of hand lol lol
:catz:

[Ilmarë]

:grin: Doesn't he just?? He has definitely matured tho... and is underrated IMHO. 24 was a really excellent showcase for him.

[Daisy Gamgee]

Does anyone know if they'll bring 24 out on DVD, as I've been trying to follow it, but have missed the last couple (we're that far behind everywhere!) and also we get really bad tv reception because we are surrounded by great big gum trees, and so everyone has 2 noses, really bad teeth, and you can't make out what/who people are shooting atlol So I'd like to be able to watch it with a decent picture.
But yeh, Keither Sutherland is great, and I suppose he does look like his dad, but not as smarmy, I think:thumbs:

[Ronin]

hey now!! *puts hands on hips rather firmly*...now theres no need for such threats...put down the trout kitty...and the whip!!

ah, what the hey...not like they did any good in the past eh? bring it all!! :evilcool: lol ;)

Daisy, they've already brought out 24 on DVD...but entirely unsure whether or not that includes the Australian market. i would imagine so, but'll check if u like.

so glad u guys got a chance to check out 24...one of the best new series thats been out in a while. kitty, if u get the chance...check out all of the episodes...u may see glimpses of why its the best...but after all of them, u'll know why. the new season has started in the States....and its dern good! :thumbs: :grin:

Keiffer calls this his second chance...sounds like a great, humble guy...really deserving of everything

[Catz]

well Sutherlands been there hasnt he? at the top and at the bottom.......he KNOWS how fickle the movie business is.......a lot of people thought hed fallen very low to appear in a TV series, but i think it was the best career move the boy has made in years.....and good on him:thumbs:
and i would like to watch the whole thing.......*sighs* now all i have to do is hope they either replay it, or someone i know gets the DVD release...
:catz:

[Ilmarë]

Yeah completely agree. He was given a real roasting for doing a tv series.. but it has been the best move he has made in years. Can only hope his career goes from strength to strength:thumbs:

Now why doesn't that come as a surprise to me?!!!lol You might take advantage of it when your hard-disc gets too full though...on the other hand you probably have unlimited memory! Which sadly wasn't part of my equipment, or of other people's, so I gather. You seem to have the gear in order otherwise, Catz, so guess we don't have to worry about you! :thumbs: Be careful now...

[Ronin]

lol...thank u for ur concern Cuiel...:grin:...but yes, unlimited memory...or at least i can conveniently forget certain things....yes, it is a gift ;) lol

but so right there...Keiffer has been everywhere...effectively ressurecting his career here with 24...hope u get to see it kitty...excellent tv :thumbs:

That's called selective memory..I have that as well! (What
does this woman remember, you might ask!)

The last episode of 24 is on monday, but I hear rumours that another series is in progress? Has anyone heard that, or is it all lies?

[Ronin]

lol...well that too ;)

ummm...we're watching the new series right now sweets ;)

[Catz]

heheheh Ronins famous for his selective memory Cuiel;) arent ya petal?
and i know one of our networks will buy the second series of 24.....the first one rated very well.........its just a matter of waiting for it to get here, as usual *sighs*
:catz:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

One can never know when it comes to Norwegian networks, but the ratings has been good here to. How long the wait will be- well you know sometimes they just delay the release to make us watch some old junk. Jeez this dictionary of mine is outdated I'd better wish for a new one this x-mas!

*snickers... dodging out of the way of his foot*... hell yeah...a really selective memory, sweetie..!!!! :naughty: lol

[Ronin]

*sighs, blushing*...such wonderful comments about my memory ;) lol

ach...hope y'all get to see it soon enough...to be honest, rather disappointed with it, but then again comparting the seasons together and that really isn't fair.

[Ilmarë]

:rolleyes: Why u disappointed with it then?

[Catz]

well it is kind of unfair to compare seasons one and two of this one in particular since the first season was so fresh and new, with the unique format and all........it isnt really something that lends itsel to repetition..........but i gues ill see when it gets here
:catz:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Even though it was very good, I don't really know if I can manage to sit through another 24 episodes. I get kinda crazy when I find myself hooked on a series, tend to wanna unattach myself...! :brave:

[Ilmarë]

I can't wait to see this new series... tho i am a bit more apprehensive now.

[Ronin]

Ach, its good...much better than the **** we usually get it. But, can't help compare it to season two. ech...just me ;)

[Catz]

yeah......it is *ducks* lol
mmmm well without the unique edge of the "new" format itll have to compete on level pegging with other TV dramas.......shouldnt really be too hard to shine i dont think.......but well see i guess
:catz:

[Ronin]

well, 24 just got back on track here in the states, had been on hiatus for 2 weeks....hit the ground running, back with the brilliance :thumbs:
