Anyway, I forgot how good this movie is! Funny and violent, tight script, topless Heath. He is just adorable in it and I liked the chemistry he had with Rose Byrne. Oh and her skinny brother is so damn sexy! I wonder what became of him., the actor I mean, lol!

It is great!
what year did Ghost come out? i thought of that movie during the scene with the brother at the end.

more random thoughts...
I was thinking during the movie that somehow maybe there was some foreshadowing for his role as the Joker? bank robberies, violence, wielding guns... etc. The boxer scenes were also interesting - I don't tend to think of Heath as an athlete, but he was actually quite athletic... (jousting in Casanova, horse riding in many films, I imagine we will also see him doing quite athletic stunts in the Joker)

Ghost was 1990, so 9 years before this.
My DVD, unfortunately, had a lot of skips and scratches, so I felt like it was a disjointed viewing. I need to be totally focused on a movie and if I get distracted (for any reason), I have a hard time getting my attention back... (hm, this gives me more insight into my daughter's ADHD! Never thought of it that way).
That said, Heath was great but really seemed like a carbon copy (or dress rehearsal) of his acting in 10 Things I Hate About You, right down to the hairdo.
Black comedy is also not my best genre, either. Overall, I am glad I saw this but I would need to see it again to figure it all out...but I didn't like it enough to see it again. Oh well...

He sure is athletic - he played football (but then again most Australian males do, like Canadian males play hockey!) with his school, Guildford Grammar.

I think Jimmy as a character is a lot more fleshed out than Heath's character in 10 Things. In 10 Things, it's all about getting the girl... I think there is more to Jimmy than 'getting the girl'...
