TUESDAY, MAY 4, 2004 WAS THE RELEASE DATE IN THE STATES FOR THE LAST SAMURAI. SAME FOR PETER PAN WHICH I MUST SAY WAS REALLY GOOD. SINCE IT WASN'T A DISNEY MOVIE IT STAYED FAITHFUL TO THE BOOK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AT LEAST RENTING IT.

I concur with DAYV on Peter Pan. What a gorgeous movie to look at, as well.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

But Jason Isaacs is so much cooler as Hook, and he gets the dual role, where he really gets to display his acting chops.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I've been wanting to see Peter Pan for so long. It looked great. Now I've gotta rent it.

And Isaac's has already been in Harry Potter. He was in the second and should be in the fourth. Don't remember if his character was in the third book or not. Also heard that Malkovich is being looked at to play Voldemort in 5.

He's one of the best things about the 2nd one. Anyone seen Soldier? He was in that as well, and I was wondering if it was any good.

No, Jason Isaacs was. Sorry for the confusion.

Never saw Soldier. Never wanted to. Yeah, motti, Isaacs is one of the best things in HP2, along with the Putin-resembling Dobby.

Here are some pics I have up on my website. The whole controversy started around the time HP2 came out in theaters. People complained that the filmmakers intentionally modelled Dobby after Putin. Check this out...

Dobby the House Elf

or, click here.

Vladimir Putin

or, click here.

By the way, just added the original Rocky to my collection.

Hence the name "Dobby the House Elf" above his picture...

But characters tend to be modelled after real people once in a while.
