[Vattnisse]

Bruce Campbell
was in
the despicable Spider-man III
with
a bunch of nitwits. Oh, and James Cromwell! But I've used him before, so we'll go with Thomas Haden Church instead.

My head still hurts from watching this movie. I know Bruce was in the Evil Dead series, but I can't for the life of me remember who else were in them. Sorry, y'all.

[Heathansson]

James Cromwell was in
The General's Daughter with
James Woods

think about that for a minute....maybe it'll cheer you up.

of all people, Max von Sydow

I actually kinda like this movie. Can't knock a movie starring Jurgen Prochnow!

[Kirth Gersen]

"Throw down your weapons and prepare to be judged!"
Max von Sydow was Brewmeister Smith in "Strange Brew" with
Dave Thomas (not the Wendy's guy).

[Vattnisse]

Dave Thomas

This movie should have been really funny. Unfortunately, it was not.

If I'm not mistaken, Callum Keith Rennie
was in
Blade: Trinity
with
Kris Kristofferson

Had to look up a picture, as his name tells me nothing. But a picture can say more than a thousand words...

Looking up pictures is fair game; I had to do it with the border patrol kid from "Melchiades."

Kris Kristofferson was in
"Payback"
with that guy who looks just like Kevin Bacon, but isn't... even though he has the same voice, too. If that's too vague, he plays one of the crooked cops. (If that's still too vague, he's the one that's not Bill Duke.)

"Straight Up"

Technically, it's not the same movie as "Payback". ^_^

[Vattnisse]

Mel Gibson
was in
Hamlet
with
Helena Bonham Carter

Well, given that the title is "Payback: Straight Up, the Director's Cut of Payback," that point is debatable--but then again, I didn't know the name of Kevin Bacon's twin! "Straight Up" it is!

Helena Bonham Carter was in
"Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit"
with Ralph Fiennes.

[drunken_nomad]

Ralph Fiennes in
"Strange Days"

Yes, but the theatrically released "Payback" is pretty different to the director's cut, since the movie was changed to alter Mel's character.

So I understand; I've jumped it to the top of my Netflix queue--I enjoyed both "Point Blank" (gotta love Lee Marvin) and the theatrical cut of "Payback." Time to check this one out as well. Thanks for the heads-up!

[Kirth Gersen]

Angela Bassett, if I remember correctly, played the snotty mom in Boyz N The Hood, named after the NWA/Eazy-E song (I assume) and starring founding member Ice Cube ("Mosh 'em up, mahn!").

[Vattnisse]

I was thinking "Hey, Ice Cube's a rapper! He's not in any movies!". But then the memory cells started working...

Ice Cube
was in
the most excellent Three Kings
with
Mark Wahlberg

[Kirth Gersen]

Marky-Mark was in
"We Own the Night"
Without any of the funky bunch, but with a bunch of Russians and with Robert Duvall.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago; the first half had me thinking, "Man, this is so cool! This has great promise--can't wait to see what happens!" Then I sat through the second half and said, "Meh." Total let-down.

[Vattnisse]

Robert Duvall f#*!ing rocks. Not only has he done a number of classics, but he
was in
the awesome Thank you for smoking
with
the lovely Maria Bello

Great movie, based on a great book. As for We own the night -was that the Russian mafia-vampire movie? It looks pretty cool, but that might just be the ads

"Thank You For Smoking" was excellent indeed. "We Own the Night" is the one where Joachim Phoenix runs the club that's a Russian mob front--unbeknownst to them, his family are all cops. Thankfully no vampires in it, though; I've had enough of them until probably the year 2056 or so.

Maria Bello was in
"Payback" ("Straight Up," if you prefer)
with the excellent William Devane.

[Vattnisse]

This one was tough, but I think I've cracked it. This time, I remember the name, but not the face. He's probably changed a bit between these two movies anyway. ;P

William Devane
was in
the uber-mega-classic Marathon Man
with
an all-star cast, including the one and only Roy Schneider

Once again, a great movie based on a great book. Pooh-pooh to all those who say that good books never turn out well on celluloid!

[Kirth Gersen]

Maybe because William Goldman (The Princess Bride) wrote the novel and the screenplay both for Marathon Man. William Devane, btw, has recently been doing really outstanding work with Tom Selleck in the "Jesse Stone" movies on CBS.

Roy Scheider was in
"Naked Lunch" (by far the most messed-up movie I have ever seen; it took me like 2 days to re-establish my sense of normality after that one)
with the super-cool Peter Weller

[Vattnisse]

Those are good points. Maybe I have just been lucky with my books-to-movies experiences. I have to agree about Naked Lunch - I never managed to finish the book, and the movie had me questioning my sanity for a while, and not in a good way, either.

Peter Weller
was in
RoboCop - hell, he was RoboCop! -
with
um... who else? The dad from "That 70ies Show", whatever his name is. And wasn't Miguel Ferrer in it as well?

[Kirth Gersen]

I love Miguel Ferrar! He was in
"Revenge" with
the lovely Madeleine Stowe.

[Valegrim]

Madeleine Stowe
was in
Last of the Mohicans

Daniel Day-Lewis

Angelina Jolie
in
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
with
Vince Vaughn

[The Eldritch Mr. Shiny]

Vince Vaughn
in
Jurassic Park: the Lost World
with
Richard Schiff

[Vattnisse]

Richard Schiff is best known for his role on The West Wing, but he
was also in
the not particularly good Deep impact
with
Tea Leoni

[The Eldritch Mr. Shiny]

Tea Leoni
in
the even worse Jurassic Park 3
with
William H. Macy

[Vattnisse]

William H. Macy
was in
The cooler
with
Andy Garcia

Good movie. Also, what is it about Andy Garcia and casinos?
