Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) bumps into June Havens (Cameron Diaz) in the airport.  After spending a quiet flight with Roy, where he kills everyone on board and has to make an emergency landing in the middle of a farm, soon enough June figures out that she needs to get as far as possible from this man.  Unfortunately with some government agency trying to kill her she ends up forced to have to stick around with Roy.  We end up on this spy filled plot filled with espionage and a lot of sedatives.

Fav Scenes – Magnolia (1999)

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Here’s the new post where I share with you some of my favourite scenes from some of my favourite movies.  Enjoy:

There are so many stand out scenes from Paul Thomas Anderson‘s film Magnolia that it is almost impossible to pick a scene as my faovourite.  I’m actually going to go ahead and say that I do not have a single favourite scene from this movie because I love every single moment from this movie.  However, since I’m pin pointing a moment in this movie that definitely just stands up and wiggles itself at me and reminds me of so many reasons why I love this movie I have to pick Tom Cruise‘s character of T. J. Mackie.  Here he plays the a guy guru.  He is the ‘pussy’ magnet and he reminds us that you not only need to Respect the cock but you must also Tame the cunt. Watch the video below which is a compilation of all of T. J. Mackie’s presentation: (more…)

Magnolia - 1001

I decided to join a film review club called The 1001 Movies You Must See Club to help make me watch better movies.  What they do is every month recommend four movies everyone should see and review on their various blogs.  These films are taken from a book entitled 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.  Now I know I’ve seen some of these films but not all of them.  So enjoy as I revisit some and discover classics I probably would never see without this little nudge in the right direction.

Where do I start in this world that Paul Thomas Anderson has made for us?  He takes us through the lives of about ten different people who are all interconnected, in some way or another, over the following 24 hours and all are in Los Angeles. (more…)

The filming of this movie hits many financial and structural problems as the director, Damien Cockburn [Steve Coogan], is young and inexperienced in managing a big budget film, and the actors are all huge stars attempting to share the screen.
