exactly. i cant believe how stupid the promo was for Angel Eyes. And there wasnt much of it either. Its a shame, becuase Jens performance in it is fantastic, as is the rest of the cast and the direction. The...

The Wedding Planner was very classy. I don't like it because the acting and situations were very phony. If it had been made 40 years ago, it would have been one of the biggest romantic comedies of all time (however I'm not sure if they had 'wedding planners' back then).

What do you guys think of my opening for TG.

Movie scenes in Boston City:-

Shots of the city

Scene 1: (DAY) The movie starts off with Jen robbing a bank similar to George in OOS, but Jen gets away with it. something clever but not violent (jen looks like she does in the MHF video with bobbed hair and wearing sunglasses)

Scene 2: she is hurrying away from the scene looks towards the bank and bumps into a guy and drops her phone which is ringing.

They look at each other and he hands it back to her. They continue in their opposite directions. She answers her phone: Its a man he asks her if the hesit/robbery went well. she says she cant speak right now and has to keep going and continues walking.

Scene 3: She goes into a shop and puts a code into a door like the MHF video. She takes off her disguise like in the MHF video. She goes down stairs and meets a guy (the one on the telephone) they kiss each other (its her...

I didn't get the ending until the second or third time I watched, lol. I was young, though, so that might have contributed.

Anyway I suppose we better stay on topic. I wonder if there will be any heist element to TG. Its may be fun to see for once Jen being the criminal rather than the Cop.

they sohould make an ending à la Out of sight not the usual rom-coms ending lol

Ok I see what you mean. I thought you meant problems with particular scenes or the actual words/ lines that Jen's or other character said.

The Cell was A,B,C & D - most definately
Angel Eyes was A,B,C & D

For me A,B,C is the most important like AUL is A,B,C.

I disagree. I don't think Angel Eyes was well received. I can't comment on The Cell because I was out of the country and computer/TV-less so I have no idea what happened.

^ sorry Heather none of my cirteria talk about the film doing great with the critics. They are all subjective to my opinion if you know what I mean.

I mean both AE & TC had IMO

A - Good Story/concept
B - Good direction & script...

dont want to seem picky but really what was wrong with TC's script? IMO there where no signifcant problems do you mean to get really down to the exact dialogue in certain scenes??
