I was rather suprised though...it was out for a little less than a month weirdface

Corelli · 9:36 AM, 10/03/08

I never went to the cinema to see it either Loew.

I'll have to wait for the DVD too! biggrin

Loew · Superstar

So a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go see Bangkok with her last weekend and I said of course! I looked online to find a time, and there were NONE in my area D= so now I'm all sad that I can't see it on the big screen...oh well, I suppose I'll have to wait until DVD hmm

Corelli · 4:38 PM, 09/16/08

That is a lot of money for a month of council tax! cry

scorpiolady · Superstar

I went onto a web site featuring midford, and it gives his council tax bills...LMAO
I think its for either 2 or 3 of the places on the grounds that he has to pay the bills, and i think the castle is in the region of over £2,000 , I will see if I can find the site again aww

I found it, now this is for 2006/07, bearing in mind that its now 2008, could be higher...
Council Tax: Band Amount payable 2006/2007
Midford Castle H £2,466.52
Old Stables Cottage D £1,233.26
Old Chapel Cottage D £1.233.26

I knew he had to pay for either 2 or 3 properties on there, blimey, I can just afford to pay council tax on one property cry

Well Nicky must be mad to live over here...god knows how much council tax he pays on Midford Castle and the town house in Bath! biggrin

scorpiolady · Superstar

That's about right isn't it RIP, more for rest in peace, we will die of shock with the rising cost of living.... hmm

Corelli · 4:17 PM, 09/16/08

London is one of the most expensive places!

RIP OFF BRITAIN! cry

scorpiolady · Superstar

Especially fuel prices as well, my gas and electric is going through the roof, and it's still rising, it is unbelieveable cry

Corelli · 12:01 PM, 09/16/08

Everything in London is expensive MGirl! cry

...the rents, mortgages, food, travel, clothes, luxuries...and what's amazing is although we're in the middle of this credit crunch prices are increasing...unbelievable! biggrin

MGIRL · Superstar

Wow! I didn't know that. It was around 11 or 12 dollars here depending on where, some other cities less, but at least its not like London, thats a lot. well hopefully it won't take too long to come to dvd there.

It's quite expensive to go to the cinema in London...especially Central London!

The Odeon Leicester Square charges up to £14.50 - that's about $26 - per cinema ticket so it's quite expensive compared to the avarage price of a us cinema ticket which is around $7.
So on average London cinema prices are TREBLE those of us cinema prices!

MGIRL · Superstar

I wait sometimes for them to come out on DVD, but i try when i can to see some films opening weekend so that it helps to contribute to the box office sales for the film's opening weekend. Though I can't always do that. I do enjoy watching films in the privacy of my own place too, so DVD is cool.

Corelli · 7:50 PM, 09/13/08

I don't blame you. biggrin

I've seen most of Nicky's films at cut price in ASDA! biggrin

scorpiolady · Superstar

That's true, I always wanted to get them for a very long time, but didn't really bother as they were still high in price, so I waited, best to in the long run smile

Corelli · 7:11 PM, 09/13/08

Not only competition...with this credit crunch people have more important things to do woth their money before buying high priced DVD's! biggrin

scorpiolady · Superstar

I love the alien films, anything like that really, HMV used to be pricey, but they have cut their prices down a hell of alot, I suppose to keep up with competition aww

Corelli · 7:03 PM, 09/13/08

That's a good bargain Kim! biggrin

scorpiolady · Superstar

same here

, talking of films, we got a bargain today at HMV, I got all the Alien films in a box set for £15, smile

, well I didn't pay for them, I had them bought for me biggrin

Corelli · 6:26 PM, 09/13/08

I've never been one of those people that has to see a movie as soon as it comes out! biggrin

scorpiolady · Superstar

Same here, I will probably wait for the DVD as well smile

Corelli · 6:01 PM, 09/13/08

I still haven't had time to go and see it yet! biggrin

I'll wait for the DVD! biggrin

scorpiolady · Superstar

Corelli · 5:05 PM, 09/08/08

Nicolas Cage thriller on top of box office, but earnings weak

Reuters

Published: Monday, September 08, 2008

Less than a year after starring in the biggest movie of his volatile career, Nicolas Cage returned to the top of the North American box office yesterday with one of his weakest.

Bangkok Dangerous, a thriller in which Cage plays a jaded assassin, led the lacklustre field with weekend earnings of just $7.8 million.

Cage has actually done worse: his terrorism thriller, Next, opened to $7.1 million in 2007 and the family drama, The Weather Man, to $4.2 million in 2005. But he was last in theatres with the adventure sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets, which opened at $45 million last December on its way to $220 million.

After three weeks at No. 1, the Hollywood satire Tropic Thunder slipped to No. 2 with $7.5 million, while The House Bunny rose one to No. 3 with $5.9 million in its third week. Their respective tallies stand at $97 million and $37 million.

That's true, I love most of his movies, and I never listen to what critics say about movies, as what they like and what we like are two different things, hmm

Over here, some movies have got the thumbs down by critics, but when I have seen them and I have really enjoyed them, smile

so I just don't bother now listening to the rubbish that comes from them aww

MGIRL · Superstar

If you like Nic, you'll like the film. He did good acting in it. I really liked this film. It was interesting seeing him play an assassin. I'm betting that Bad Lieutenant will be good, too.

scorpiolady · Superstar

Same here Chelsea, quite a few sites have given it the thumbs down, but I still want to see it, as I've been really looking forward to seeing it biggrin

just got to find the time hmm

Loew · Superstar

Thanks for that little review! I have yet to see it unfortunately, but the reviews on rottentomatoes.com weren't so positive hmm

None the less I can't wait to see it

anchoragebabe1979 · Senior Member

Thanks MGirl! He looks so good! biggrin

MGIRL · Superstar

I like your avatar photo of Nicolas on the boat, Anchorage Girl. Its sexy

They may not have kissed but I loved the scene where they hold hands while it's raining outside. Just standing there holding hands. It was so sweet.

MGIRL · Superstar

There also was great chemistry between him and his female co star Charlie Yeung which made it a good film, except they never did a romantic kiss which i found strange but maybe thats how the directors wanted it.

scorpiolady · Superstar

yep same here biggrin

, can't wait to see the movie smile

Corelli · 1:59 PM, 09/06/08

Thanx MGirl! biggrin

I look forward to seeing him in the leather jacket! biggrin

MGIRL · Superstar

I saw Bangkok Dangerous today and it was great!! I haven't seen Nic play a bad guy in a while, but he was good. His acting was very good, and I liked it a lot. Corelli, there is even a scene where he wears a black leather jacket and looks hot! I won't spoil it for those that can't see it yet, but you will love it when you see it
