Black-Hawk Down

A good movie - watched it last night on TV.

A few comments:

1. Has there ever been more people putting on accents? (Obviously excluding period pieces). And its not like Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor and Orlando Bloom arent well known actors. The funny thing is, I could easily accept Eric Banas accent, but not the other two. Ewan McGregor should never try an accent- just let him sing his words next time.

2. The funny thing is I recognised just about every american actor in that movie. (Im not really a huge movie buff - so more than anything it just means that they filled all the bit roles with tv/
B-grade guys).

3. What ever happened to Josh Hartnett? Ok, Pearl Harbour and "O" (Othello) were crap movies, but from those, this and his bit part in Sin City - I thought he would become one of the top actors of his day. I had a look at his IMDB profile - and the only movie of his since "40 Days, 40 nights" that Ive heard of has been Wicker Park - and I dont recall hearing anything great about that movie. (Obviously, Im not talking about Sin City which was made in 2005, coz he only had a 5 minute role in that).

4. The guy who plays Lucious Malfoy was in it playing one of the Captains. (The bald guy who gets pissed off at them for killing the water buffallo, and then walks in on the guy making fun of him... for those playing at home). Anyway, I spent the whole movie trying to figure out where I knew him from (it wasnt as obvious as the rest, see Point 2), and needed IMDB at the end to realise that he was Lucious.
The whole point of this? Hurry up JK Rowlings- I need my hit of Harry, (as opposed to "charlie").
