the coldplay and raidohead bond cover songs ruin the songs. Maybe i'm biased cos i'ma huge bond fan, and the covers just make me cringe when i hear them

Dave Matthews Band - All Along The Watchtower one of my all time fave songs, bettered by this new take on it than dylan original...i love it joe Cocker - Little Help From My Friends this is simply an amazing cover, with his amazing voice

I actually felt that Denzal wasn't the best actor in that year, although i do love the film..and i also felt crower, while good as Nash also wasn't the best actor of that year. i think it was a hard role to do, i mean it was both physical, filmed in hot condidtions, with sdo much going on. The more i think abou it, the more i appreciate the affort invovled from everyone invovled. Well that is fair enough for you to say, but i am drawing my opinion based upon the people i know who have sene it and rant about how amazing it is. Maybe if is aw a more serious person who loved it, someone who didn't just jump up and down and que for hours to get a glimpse of the stars of the film at a premiere i would take the opinions more seriously. I, however, cannot take that kind of opinion seriously. Although i do respect their opinion, and would never try tellign them that they're wrong (who am i to say that?) i also know that they are biased in what they're going to beleive, just like i will be with any kevin spacey film. When LOTr 1st came out i really wanted to see it, it osunded like my kind of film, and i was dreading seeing harry potter. A stupid magician that just seems to borrow elemtns from everry great idea before it. It turned out i loved the entire idea of potter and felt bored during LOTR. I couldnt figure it, i still can't. On paper LOTr has what it takes to be one of the all time greats, but when i see it it just lacks that something for me to like it. As i've said, it just doesn't engage me on any level. Wish it did cos it would appear i'm missing out on something amazing. And this one was released in 2001: they were all released in 2003 in the uk. I can only base my films of 2003 of those i saw in 2003. The pianist might have made the last oscars lsit but to me it was a 2003 film, as was NARc, ripleys game was released in june. so meh As for spacey and winslet..yes their performances are good, the plot of david gale si solid, but if i'm honest it might only make my list because it's got spacey in and i'm just a spacey fan. But i like the film, there are spacey films i dont like "hurley burely" for example,. so it can't be totally bad

Crowe god the oscar for gladiator because A)it was a good solid emotional performance B) because the year before he was even more amazing in "the insider" for which he out acted al pacino (how rare is that) anyway i have so many problems with this list. Forone,ROTK, such an over-rated pile dung in my personal opinion. The plot and story, like the books beforehand, areover-polluted. Too much time is wasted on stupid scnery shots. The movie isover-long, the SFX are nothing special(and a big marketing ploy ec is based around the sfx for some reason). The acting isn't that great. And while i do respect Jackson for attempting something so bold, and for trying to be this brave...it also has to be said that it's the fanboys who rate this film etc. Personally i have never felt anything for the characters, never got involved in the story, never enjoyed whatis aw, just finding it more and more pointless and boring. Any good movie, in my view, should makeyou feel something for the charaters, should engage you, should captivate you..none of the LOTrfilms have done that, and so i cannot and will not ever put it in my top lists for anything. anyways....the matrixc was also a huge over-rated pile of uber dung also, but like the LOTr trilogy i never felt for any of the characters or the storyline, which i've seen done better with a morehuman side to it before. my list, although it wont hold the same "wow" factor you have, is my list and i will stae why for each one (there is no order as i beleive this year to be downright awful in ters of good film releases) NARC twograbbing perfornaces from the leads, with a very plot centred story, that gives the characters chance to grow, to blend the two is a raritythese days. I figured parts of it out, as that's what ti leads you to belive, but you're always left guessing "is this the right answer?" and"did that really happen?" The Pianist this wasan utterly grabbing movie, very quiet performance from Brody but believable and wellacted. Not since Shindlers List has so many emotions been brought up by a war film (i find saving private ryan to be boring and lacking in emotion). A wonderful effort, with amazing scope and horrible images. Dark Blue a wonderful performance from Kurt Russel, and in very much the styleof LA confidential. Shamefully missed at the box office, but it's a solid story, based on true events and solidly acted. Some slightly boring points true but it's oozing with goodness :) Life Of David Gale Ok, biased here because i'm a huge kevin spacey fan. Ad this got such bad reviews, i couldn't udnerstand why. Two very brilliant, very believableperformances from it's two big stars. With an ending that is quite easy to spot, it doesn't make it any worsehow-ever.A clever film, solidly told and acted. I like it Confidence It wont win any awards, but i enjoyed it.full of twists and turns, fast paced, clever, perhaps a littletoo clever for it's won good. but a solid crime caper, that borrows the best bits of the way sixth sense had it's twists and develops them. One of those fewmovies where making you keep guessing what's going to happen actually works. With solid acting, and one of my faves dusting hoffman is in it too. Finding Nemo amazing technological advancement again. Wonderfully scripted, wonderfully voice acted, funny for both adults and children alike, one of those few disney movies that get made in the last 4or 5 years, aka..good for the entire family. Aside from these disney pixar films, disney cannot do films like it used to. So yay to this 28 Days LAter i hat, just hate horror films. But this..had such scope, such vision, such chilling views and scenery. A deserted britina, very few survivors, i'm sorry but this has to be in my list. I adored it, i reallydid. It could have been so much better yes, but even as it is, it's good. Well acted, good effects and just chilling cinematography. Seabiscuit Ok i felt this was an uplifting movie, with solid performances allround. Perhaps a little over-long but it still is in my list. a good solid effort all round, and a good feelgood movie :) Told in a very old fashioned way Ripleys Game I loved this film. Malckovich and scott are stunning, with ray winstone good in a suporting role too. The plot is good, simple and effective, the scenery is simply beautiful, the music is quiet yet plays well. A solid all round effort that i can happily watch again and again because it is so well done. Scripting is clever, although one ro two annoying lines otherwise very solid and very clever with the ideas it raises. MYstic River This is a good film, also told ina veryold fashioned way i believe. Quite a bithappens, well scripted and generally quite emotional attimes. i liked it The Man Who Sued God not amazing by any means, but i thought it was clever and witty.And billy Conely gives a good performance. I loved someof the ideas raisedabout religion, and it was quiteuplifting to me aswell. ok thats' only 11, there's one or two mor ei like, the rest of the movies this year i found rather average...but then i've probably forgot a loadoffilms too

i usually do have my net name on them, but if people want to use themthemselves, then they can. Infact i would consdier it an honour that someone likes them enough to want to use them. if they ask i'll obviously let them,if they don't i cant do anything anyway. but if they ask they're more liekly to maybe have one made especially for them. if they have pictures and quotes they want aswell :)

figured since i've done some coldplay banner si'd let ya'll see them and also everyones fave radiohead just my 4 faves

pffft, i care about as much as i menstrate.... i'ma guy...figure it out for yaselfs

oops http://www.teamgeeza.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/withoutyou.wav i forgot to put pwp in

Well i finally got round to doing a rough version of a song i wrote not so long ago. http://www.teamgeeza.blueyonder.co.uk/withoutyou.wav let us know what you think, good and bad, all welcome :) and post your stuff, specially nemo :)

flacs, shns...wheee

:rolleyes: picky picky picky :p

i'm from the usa now am i cdperson? assumptions my dear friend, don't jump to them. I myself am a uk person, and we pretty much do live in a dictatorship. Where the government is the majority of the parliament, where if all of one party votes to let a propsed bill pass, it can pass. i don't know how much the us stystem works, but anything bush wants he pretty much seems to get.

dicatorships suck....it's so ad we beleive we aren't part of one...when we are

joy..we got him..yay. at last....he needed to be out of power. who-ever put him in power was stupid, and those who kept him in..tsk...oh wait...it was us who helped him stay in power. ah well small things. still, nice he's been captured, well done troops, this is exactly why we bombed iraq into the stone age...it had nothing to do with the hundreds of weapons of mass detruction that we've found....

wow i must have said something amazing..me and webmaster don't get along :lol:

we'll see lol it causes a stir though doesnt it

im confused

i go away to stop annoying people talking to me, who i'll talk to when bored etc, or because i'm not there but any important info can be passed on to me

michael jackson was asked to take this quiz too youknow...to which i believe he replied "hang on i'll ask them"

hehehe exactly :) many radiohead fans have ranted on to me about them not sellign out, about radiohead controlling their band, about radiohead deciding what to do and when to do it etc. and now you're saying the company is controllign them, which makes me smile :) i just don't like mtv. once there was something called rock and roll, where we could stick it to the man, but no the man ruined that by inventing MTV, now rock and roll is all about making money and not making music

rain has dave matthews lyrics in his sig...of course he'll get my vote but i should win cos my old sigs just ruled

lol...these are all indie rock now are they? how how we make things sound more select so we seem less common. new bands i've gotten into over the last 12 months? erm Howie day Jason Mraz Athlete Nick Cave listened to more Tori Amos 3 doors down i guess the doves the who Simon and Garfunkle elton John other than that my lists are all from last couple of years

and who said radiohead didn't sell out? putting it on Zane's show...tsk that's one of the biggest selling out's you can do. Next thing we know is the manics will do it

i would say howie is the most talented of the lot, simply because i'm in constant awe of his use of machines during his shows to create backing tracks, of how he turns his usually one man show so that it sound slike he has a full band up there with him.

aaaah good old matt, him, howie day and jason mraz are set to be the new big singer songwriters, and all have been influenced, partly, by my man Dave Matthews. jason and matt get along very well, as do howie and matt (well ok all three d0) and all are very talented. check out there stuff...of that trio mentioned matt is the lesser known.
