A soap opera and you DIDN'T like it? Are you sure you are a woman?

I second that. I didn't know he was making a new movie but I will be there to see it when it comes out.

You mean all those eclectic roles where he plays different versions of a bored, dissatisfied, expressionless loner? In between these he stretches himself by playing bored action action heros

Leaving Las Vegas
Bringing Out the Dead
The Family Man
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Adaptation
The Weather Man
Raising Arizona
Little bit of both there ...
Way to mix it up Nic!

I thought I recognised that Tanya Haden's surname. Her brother Josh was the main man in Spain,a wonderful group.

And let's face it Denzel is watchable in almost anything.


I watched Get On The Bus last night,Spike Lee movie about a disparate group of African Americans going to the million man march. Good stuff. I like Lee when he just lets the story tell itself and isn't trying to be too stylised.
