Anthony Hopkins movies
cheri stine
I just watched the movie SHADOWLANDS tonight and really enjoyed it. I
haven't seen many of Anthony Hopkins movies other than SoTL and this
one. I have been considering whether I should watch REMAINS OF THE DAY &
HOWARD'S END or not. I haven't heard very good things about these movies
and I was wondering what you people thought of them. I would appreciate
no SPOILERS please since I have yet to see these movies. Also I would
like to discuss SHADOWLANDS and get some of your reactions.

THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE is due out soon. In the preview, I didn't even
recognize Anthony Hopkins until the actors' names were shown at
the end. He has some large front teeth (presumably to make him
look like the real Mr. Kellogg).

Been reading the _New Yorker_ film reviews?
Seriously, both films are quite good; at least as good as _Shadowlands_.
_Howards End_ is the more substantial movie, but _Remains_ has the bigger
Hopkins part, in which he gives one of the truly great screen performances.

almost everyone I have spoken to who have seen both Remains and
Shadowlands prefer the latter, Remains is worth seeing a thousand times
a thousand times, just for Anthony Hopkins' incredible performance.
Quite a few people I know also prefer Howards End to Remains. If you
want to see acting in its finest, watch Remains, and gasp in awe all
thru it - Tony is simply unbelievably brilliant in it!
cheers,
ernie.
P.S. Sorry to keep venting out about Tony all the time! I really can't
help myself... Honestly!!! ;-)

He's playing Dr. Kellogg in "The Road to Wellville," which opens next week.
I'm definitely checking this one out; the book was hysterical.

Since both HOWARDS END and REMAINS OD THE DAYS where second in the running
for the oscar in their respective year and EMMA THOMPSON won for best actress
and VANESSA REDGRAVE was nominated for HOWARDS END and both THOMSON and
HOPKINS where nominated for REMAINS its hard to figure out why you got
bad reviews of these movies. I think that if you have liked shadowland,
you will like both these movies.

over did the accent at times, in my opinion. I think Anthony Hopkins is
so well known for his 'Hannibal Lector' character that some people might
overlook movies of his such as 'Shadowlands', 'Howards End', etc., but
I'll definitely be looking for them in the video store this weekend.
Hopkins has such incredible range as an actor, don't you agree?

Possibly because you talked to people who resented seeing
Merchant & Ivory perform their usual taxidermy job on important
works of fiction.

Howards End was agood film and Hopkin's was excellent.
You might want to check out "84 Charring Cross Road" with Hopkins and
Anne Bancroft.

story, you might not like Howard's end or the Remains of the Day.
However, if you are looking for absolutley incredible performances by
Hopkins (not to mention Emma Thompson!) then definitely see these movies!
Howard's End is one of my favorite films of all time-- incredibly
well-made with strong performances all around-- Thompson just blew me
away on this one. Remains of the Day is great also-- it's a downer
though-- be prepared.
Some people just don't get into Merchant Ivory flicks though. . . maybe
that's why you heard "bad things" about them. *shrug*
However, I give both films "two enthusiastic thumbs up-- WAY up!" :)

I am suprised that you have not heard good things about RotD&HE. I enjoyed them both emensly! If you like the other EM Forster novels>films then you will like HE. My husband found it slow and boring though--as I've said before--to each their own. You'll have to watch and decide for yourself.

anyone know his first movie? He also did a good job as Helsing in

Whoops! Of course. Fortunately, in cyberspace nobody can see you blush.

I think Hopkins' best performance is in "Remains of the day". He is just
too awesome in that movie. I like RoTD much more than Shadowland.
Didn't enjoy Howards End though.....

Definitely Modesty Blaise, by Peter O'Donnell. I don't have that
particular edition, but somebody else recognized it as the first American
edition.

It is unquestionably MODESTY BLAISE, regardless of what somebody in another
thread may have thought they saw.
Not only did I definitely see the title (twice), but it makes sense for a guy
like Vincent to be reading MODESTY BLAISE, whereas MADAME BOVARY would be a bit
of an effort for him, I suspect. Though suddenly I'm taken with the notion of
Travolta reading BOVARY for a Books-on-Tape outfit....

On another PF thread, someone else said they thought it was Madam
Bovary. So, there seems to be some agreement that it's a two-word title
with an "M" and a "B" as the first letters of the two words, but that's
about it.
