Discussion: James and His Movies

"Oh sorry! lol I don't think the whole film's on YouTube, but there are a few fan music videos. Actually, I think there's one video that's just James's scenes edited together...but if you're wanting to see Natalie P too that's not so much use. I'll see if I can find it though..."

"Yeah, I think it's a pretty tiny role. But all actors are in crap films from time to time, lol...James is pretty lucky, most of his films are great!"

"The die hard Frain fan must see:

"Armadillo" (edited American version is usually available on Amazon...but, only on VHS..sadly. The best version is the Brit one. It's not edited plus they have it on DVD, I believe)

Actually, I love most all of James' films. Most are of the Indy variety, so most are difficult to find. To me the worst films he's been in were "Red Meat", "Reindeer Games", "An Awfully Big Advernture", and "Into the Blue". He was great in all of them, especially "Red Meat" and "Reindeer Games"...but the rest of the films were so bad, that I just Fast Forwarded to James' parts...and, he's barely in "Into the Blue". That movie really sucked, so I think his limited role in that stinker was for the best."

"Yeah it was... OMG....

Macbeth was really good! James was A-List!"

"You've got to see "Armadillo" Maggie. I'd let you borrow my copy, but it's the only one I have and I'm too afraid to part with it even for just a moment. I knew a lady in Ireland at the time it aired in the UK, and she made me a copy and even converted it for me so I could watch it on my player. He is the cutest ever in that. He's in every scene and is the leading actor. It's funny, sad, suspenseful, romantic, and mysterious
. Very well done with loads of really quirky characters. He plays a young man that was born into a family of gypsys...but, he's kind of ashamed of his past and tries to pretend he comes from a wealthy Scottish family. But, despite being a bit ashamed of his real family, he's always there to help them out, and it's obvious he loves them so much. I just adore it."

"Just looked at AmazonUK and Armadillo is out of stock and they don't know when they'll get anymore.... This has made a sad... =("

"What's the difference between the American version and the British version of Armadillo?

Red Meat actually sounded good to me, but what was it that you didn't like about it? I read that it was one of the first movies to make Sundance, Sundance. That it was the movie that started it all..."

"Yeah huh? I'm keeping an eye out for that movie!"

"Fave one's for me are....

Armadillo - just adorable and in every scene.

Vigo - beautiful love story, v sad at end

Nothing Personal - brilliant acting by all concerned

Loch Ness - sooo cute

The Vice - just gorgous although a bit er damaged

Actually I like everything he does, he's always different so you wouldn't really know what he's like in real life, only seen two interviews and he seems a nice cheerful sort of chappy, bless him :-)"
