Since my brother has kidnapped the TV and is watching SAW....let's discuss a happy, really really really good movie...with one HELLA hot leading man.
And anne hathaway is awsome in this, too.
Who else has seen this?? I know CATSNY revival has...cuz Nicky (who's MINE, by the way) is his (her?) avatar.
So who else???

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

indeed.
so here's the new question...
who's better..
Anne Hathaway or Emmy Rossum??
I saw Anne Hathaway, just because she seems more genuine.

Posted: 2/20/05 at 9:33pmBig Dickens fan here - I really enjoyed the movie, thought they did a nice job with it, and enjoyed the cast across the board. LOVED Juliet Stevenson as the evil Mrs. Squeers - she reminded me so much of Mrs. Tweedy in "Chicken Run" (anyone seen that?). If you liked "Nicholas" the movie, though, you also need to see the video of the 8 1/2 hour Royal Shakespeare Company stage version, one of the greatest Dickens dramatizations ever.

Charlie is pretty cute - LOL, when he got his "shirt off" scene at the school, I thought, "Gee, I never knew Victorian guys were that buff..." 
And I really did enjoy Anne as Madeline, thought she did a very nice job.

Posted: 2/20/05 at 10:23pmI thought this version was OK. The 5 hour BBC production starring James D'Arcy was vastly superior.

forget the films referenced here, see the RSC production starring Roger Rees as Nicholas.
That was an unparralled theatrical event 20 years ago, and you can relive it, or experience for the first time, on VHS or DVD.
For those who love theatre this production is one you'll watch year after year.

this is one of my favorite movies. Charlie is hot. and I'm glad they found a way to get his shirt off, I mean, how could they not have had his shirt off at some point? it would have been blasphemes. teamed with Jamie Bell Charile was able to deliver a worthy performance. Nathan is brilliant. The Dame is brilliant. Alan is brilliant. the production itself is visually stunning. no matter how many times I watch it I'm always enthralled.
but how could you not be enthralled by that???

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 1:28pmI liked this movie, but for some reason I didn't think Hataway was great in period. She did a good job, but not outstanding.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 7:28pmI haven't seen the Roger Rees version of Nicholas Nickelby, but I did see the James D'Arcy version and loved that one. I like this version. Some parts of this had stronger points than the D'Arcy version, but overall I liked the other version better. Mostly I think because I think because it was the first version of it I saw. Don't get me wrong I love this movie(the fact it's shorter and I can actually understand what the hell Fanny Squeers is saying, etc) but the one with James I thought was better. I have no complaints on Anne Hathaway, I thought she did a pretty good job. Just didn't think that Charlie Hunnam was the best choice for Nicholas.
