Kevin's Watch

Just saw the movie the other day. Man it was funny. You might have to be a Canadian to understand it..or maybe Scotish...Being mostly based on Curling. But you don't really have to know anything about the sport to like the movie. My wife laughed the whole time, and she has never seen a curling game in her life. Anyways, it's a funny movie, with a good soundtrack. Anybody else seen it?

I remember seeing the preview for this. I'll have to check it out when I get back to the States. Maybe because I'm Scottish, or maybe because I haven't seen it often enough to get bored of it, I like curling.

(just going through some old threads and saw this)
Yah, I liked it alot. Maybe because I'm also Canadian, but the cast is great. Paul Gross is so under rated. Have any of you seen the mini-series 'Slings & Arrows'? Fantastic stuff. Apparently there is a part 2 coming out soon to TMN... weeee!

I'm Canadian, but I avoided this movie. When I saw the trailers for it in the theatres, I winced. It looked to me like another excruciatingly mundane kind of Canadian movie. I know there exists great Canadian cinema with higher aspirations than curling jokes, and those are the films I look for.

I have a vision of Canada, and it does not include Men With Brooms! (Yeah, a Canadian in-joke, heh.)

yes he has much higher standards than that: Strange Brew, for instance.

LOL!!! I'm a hoser, eh? Is that it?

Man, I watched an awesome Canadian movie the other day, a sci-fi(ish) thriller type thing called Cube, made in '94.

It was brilliant.

Cube, yah that was good. I laughed when i saw it, because almost half the budget of this relatively low-budget movie was blown on the opening FX shot

Spoiler

of the guy getting his whole body sliced into cubes

great shot, but nothing else like was seen anywhere else in the movie. Ah, but it didn't need it. It wasn't that kind of sci-fi movie...
(Oh, I just thought of a new thread topic...)

Paul Gross?? *swoons*

I loved him in Due South, and he put out some good songs, too, but since he's Canadian, he's pretty much off the radar down here.
