[/QUOTE]Elijah Wood can't seem to manage to convey any of his character's pain and so just ends up looking bewildered all the time. [/QUOTE]

As much as I LOVED ROTK (and I REALLY did) I think
Likkle sums it up perfectly. Especially with regards
to Elijah. Very emotional movie. I was not the only
one crying in the theater. Maybe the only 6"5 guy
though

QUOTE I don't get it. There are SO many people that fell Godfather 2 was better then the first film. I didn't think so. The Godfather 1 is in my top ten favorite/best films.

i dont know - i loved Part 1, especially Michael's transformation. And Brando was amazing. Its a fantastic movie.

But #2 took the points for me. To this day i watch it more than #1. I cant really put my finger on what makes it better.

I'm guessing it was Deniro. There was something so subtle about his performance. He
really played young Vito with so much conviction. One of the most honest performances
of his career imo.

Well in the second movie you knew the characters alot better.

How many people felt incredibly sorry for Fredo when he was eventually capped at the end? You saw how weak and clumsy he was through the first and second movies and felt so sorry for him because he was such an innocent character. He was killed fishing for christs sake, wearing his fishing hat and jacket.
Then there was the interest in seeing how Don Vito rose to become such an important figure. You started to realise how such a normal person can become so incredibly powerful when they are feared by everyone, and also the corruption it causes to their own self beliefs and morals(as is also evident in the third movie with Michael).
And there was also the collapse of Michaels marriage.

I just think the second movie was alot more emotional and interesting. You learnt the characters alot better, and it was alot more interesting to just see the progression in their personalities since the first movie.
Not to mention seeing the flashbacks to when Vito was a kid was a nice change of pace from the normal stuff.

there was zombie aligators (can't beat that)

Are you sure they were supposed to be zombie alligators? I just presumed they were regular alligators that just came to live on the streets due to the complete lack of people and abundance of free meat.

by farrrrr, my favorite fantasy book(s) is the Narnia series. They, to me, blow away the Lord of the Rings books.

I always like Metaphorical and Symbolic connections so long as they are not done in a cheesey ass Hollywood kinda way. Infact that's what actually makes reading the Bible and books that were not included in the bible so intersting to me...

...all the connections it makes to phylosophies, and scriptures outside of it, before and far away from that culture. Jesus HAD to be a traveling man!

TRUST me, I'll get back to the books, I'm not sure why I stopped in the first place, it definatly was not pre-planned.

[EcL|PsE]

o ye cool.
i like it too.

seeing i have read all the books a lot, i downloaded the audio books and it is too good to be true, its so fresh and new, such a chaneg from reading em.

i listen to em everynight before i go to bed.
peace

Lick Me: here is another thought: If the Gator's were not Undead, then you'd think that the undead would be eating them. Therefore they HAVE to be! Live flesh is live flesh, human or not.

Fine, you try biting into an alligator and see what happens to you.
