I missed out on all the fun.  :-\ We got home too late to start watching.

I'll have to watch in at a later date. I'm guessing it will be around for a while on youtube.

Thanks for the stills Fran!

Glad you liked them.  Gil gave me the idea to post them when he posted his.

I was surprised that the whole movie was posted on YouTube.  I wouldn't wait too long, Fabienne.

Okay, gang!  This next week we are going to have the defining film of the Boy Gets Girl genre:  10 Things I Hate About You!

This one should be EASY to find!  See you on Saturday!

Hahahah, excellent choice, Lou!

I just ordered up 10 Things from amazon (I have a coupon)...I wanted to round out my Heath collection. I should have it by next Saturday.


Ack!  I just remembered...I will be on a plane at 2 pm EST....

I'll take the DVD with me.

Did Heath only have a small role in this one?


Just finished watching BLACKROCK.  Not a bad film at all, sort of an Australian RIVER'S EDGE. --MILD SPOILERS AHEAD--  Jared, a surfer dude, witnesses his mates doing something horrible at a beachside rave and doesn't tell the police and is then haunted by it.  Things get more complicated for him when his best friend, the charismatic  Ricko, asks for his help.

Heath's role really is quite small, although he does have a few lines, ("You gulls wanna lift to the patty?") he plays Toby the brother of Jared's girlfriend, basically one of the mates (!).  He kind of turns out to be not such a nice guy.  He gets the sh!t kicked out of him at one point so you get to see him emote a little, he's pretty good.   The character of Jared's mother is well rounded, and her relationship with her son is refreshingly believable.  The Cranberries' Zombie is on the soundtrack, which was nice, I hadn't heard that in some time.

oilgun, thanks for the review of Blackrock.  For now, I think I'll get the earlier films of Heath's in DVD first, what I have now are local versions and some are in VCD format.

Cool. I think I'll join in, if I can find the movie in my apartment. I know one of us has it somewhere...
