Yes, from Van Helsing and Don't mess with the Zohan.

Yep, Weir is one of my favourites too. From "Picnic at the Hanging Rock" to "Gallipoli" and "The Year of Living Dangerously", he very very much strikes a very genuine chord in me.
Almodovar'd characters are perhaps too Spanish/Latin American for me.

I loved Van Helsing, but it was a terrible movie. It was someone's AWESOME role-playing character up on the big screen, and it really showed. Watching it at home on the couch was hilarious; watching it in the cinema would not have been so entertaining, I suspect!

My first cinema movie was E.T. so there was no shortage of tears, as you can imagine!

OMG E.T.

I always finish that movie being slightly dehydrated.
