Titolo: Film facili e difficili

"Shrek 2", divertente quasi come il primo, mi e' parso molto facile da
seguire, con poche eccezioni, come Murphy, voce dell'asino parlante,
con il suo slang nero. I personaggi principali, Myers, Diaz, Andrews,
Banderas, Everett e Cleese, sono tutti molto chiari e parlano
scandendo le parole.
All'estremo opposto, "Collateral". To be honest non si capisce una
mazza di molte delle chiacchiere di Cruise e company, ma forse non e'
una gran perdita ;-)
Ad ogni modo, la trama e' semplice e lineare, fin troppo, e il film si
segue comunque senza difficolta'.
"Japanese story" e' un film carino. Dopo averlo visto non ci si
dimentichera' della differenza di pronuncia tra desert e dessert; la
protagonista australiana fa una lezione di inglese solo su quello al
coprotagonista giapponese!

 Shrek 2... non ho visto nemmeno il primo... ma è divertente?
Anche io non avevo visto il primo...Fatti un favore e recuperalo...in
qualsiasi lingua!
Sono morto dalle risate...fidati!

 Comprare "heartbreakers" o "the guru"? 
I haven't seen The Guru but I have Heartbreakers on DVD.
Well, Back in the U.S.S.R. sang by Sigourney Weaver with a sort-of-Russian
accent is something I won't forget. Karabuschka!
And let's not talk about Gene Hackman and his cough. Oh, BTW, in this movie
Jennifer Love Hewitt is hoooot, way hotter than her character in Party of
Five.
Well, in The Guru - the 2002 one - there's Heather Graham. I love her
voice. And I love her in Scrubs.

Cate : Okay rusty, wheres blondie? 

 sure she doesn't read icling.
Ugly actress...
There's Whoopy Goldberg but I don't remember her voice.
And I don't think she's ugly. I do not like her. But, ugly.
Non mi vengono in mente attrici *brutte*! Com'è possibile?

Murdock : That concludes your flight with Miracle Airlines, the only
airline where Lady Luck is your co-pilot. 

 p.s. I have to ask Brad the address of his gym!
A waste of time. Probably his gym is *his* gym and nobody else's.

You have no idea. :)

B.A. Baracus : Shut up fool, you ain't no fish! 

 I don't find it difficult.
It would be better to identify somehow that "Heartbreakers" is the name on
a CD or a group (or whatever.) Those of us who aren't up with the latest,
would take the statement
heartbreakers is cheap
as terribly bad English, but if it's clear that it's a title, you're okay.
Maybe put it in quotes or italicize it and remember that (even in NGs)
proper names are capitalized in English.
When Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds" was being promoted all the movie
trailers announced "The Birds is coming!" (without any quotation marks
around "The Birds" as the title of the movie. It really got a lot of
attention if for no other reason than people were astounded that a movie
studio could make such an egregious (take note of that 'false friend':
"egregious" = conspicuous (in a *bad* way.) It no longer means "esteemed"
or "distingushed") error.

I can think of a few stage actresses who, while not ugly (such a harsh 
word!) are not too terribly attractive, but who become very lovely as a 
result of having a delightful voice.

 or "distingushed") error.
I see. I'll always use the quotes.

That doesn't happen just with actresses, but with any woman, all the time :-)

 Sono morto dalle risate...fidati!
azz! e se vedi L'era glaciale cosa fai????? Risorgi di proposito per morire 
un'altra volta?! :D 

 I am not the one who wrote "heartbreakers is cheap". :P
"someone plays dumb"
thanks both of you :)

 "esteemed" or "distingushed") error.
I've heard in a TV programme about Mr. Hitchcock that 
"birds" also means "girls" or "women".
Can anybody confirm that?
 
-- 
Today no, tomorrow yes.

 "birds" also means "girls" or "women".
Yes, in at least forty-year-old British slang. 

It is still commonly used in "Eastenders".

Sal 

 Can anybody confirm that?
"Gli uccelli", too, has more than one meaning, for that matter.

Un altro film facile e simpatico, in americano, "The Stepford Wives".
"Only castrating, Manhattan career bitches wear black. Is that what you 
want to be?" 
"Ever since I was a little girl."
