Heath movie questions....
During the last half year or so I've thrown myself at some Heath movies, have watched Brothers Grimm, Four Feathers, Ned Kelly, Casanova and the relevant first half of Monster's Ball. I've also re-watched Knight's Tale a number of times. It's such a delightful film (with Paul Bettany as bonus, and it's got the perfect ending - only I want it for Jack and Ennis... :( ) Anyway, I've got two questions:
- Lords of Dogtown - any good? (My local supermarket has decided to stock it all of a sudden, so it's easily available).
- Any other Heath film that is unmissable or that people here would recommend? (Barring "The Patriot". Mel Gibson in simplistic-patriotic fervour is something I'd rather give a huge pass, Heath or no Heath.)

I have not seen it yet, but people tell me that 10 Things I Hate About You is very cute...and you get to see Heath sing and dance.
Candy, which is only playing in Australia right now, is supposed to be excellent and Heath turns in another stellar peformance.

Mikaela:
Thank you!
Oh yes - I'm waiting for Candy with equal parts anticipation and trepidation. The story sounds so.... painful and hard to sit through. I'm sure Heath does a stellar performance. Though God knows when it'll ever come to my part of the world (=Scandinavia). Australian films don't make it here very often and they always come late when they do.

I loved Lords of Dogtown! Though bear in mind: 1) my sons are skateboarders 2) I saw it before Brokeback 3) the kids in it are about the same age as I would have been in that year 4) therefore I also like the music 5) it is pretty lightweight compared to Brokeback BUT 6) Heath is good in it -- it's the movie that reassured me that Brokeback would come out OK 7) his character is VERY different from Ennis.

Heath simply disappears into his LOD character Skip, and you won't recognise him if you don't look for him, or haven't seen some of the photos or screen caps.
I enjoyed LOD, and I am a long way from a skateboarder---I would recommend at least taking a look.
I really enjoyed 10 Things I Hate about You-It is a teen flick---ONLY rent the dvd---Do NOT watch the comedy central version on tv---it really sucks--they edited out some key(for me anyway) scenes to make room for their overly filled with commercials.
Heath does a good job (he looks good too in those leather pants at the club) and even though the plot is pretty straightforward and stock, it is an enjoyable romp, even recommended as a take off of taming of the Shrew, though he really doesn't do much taming, mostly outmanuvering. LOL
Another one I recommend cause I can watch Heath in it over and over is The Order- it is NOT a horror film or even scarey, it is a drama with a few supernatural overtone scenes. the side characters except for the Sin Eater and the girl are nothing you haven't seen before, but the end twists and all the plot reasonings become clear at the end. I enjoyed finding out everything, and how everything fitted together.
Heath has tremendous chemistry with the girl he is in love with, and with the sin eater himself---really good interchanges, and he gets shirtless and Looks really hot making love to the girl---I watch it for Heath cause he is so good in it, and I am willing to forgive any weak links in the plot cause I enjoy him and Sin Eater and the girl so much.
