Has anyone seen Dragonfly a supernatural thriller with kevin costner?
Eckie
No I haven't sen it, mainly because it had bad reviews when it came out, as have most recent Kevin Costner films. Is it better than they say?
lauraakafoxy
It had bad reviews????
I never knew that! i think its a great film - its very emotional as well as spooky - its basically about his wife trying to contact him about something really important from beyond the grave - its a great film!!! ive not met anyone that didn't like it yet (despite it being kevin costner)
Eckie
Yes it did have bad reviews, I don't mind Kevin C myself, he's quite a good actor, I was disappointed in his version of the Postman though, it was a good novel, seen that? Waterworld was ok.

I have never seen dragonfly but when I next head off to choices I shall give it serious consideration. It sounds like an interesting plot. I have found quite a few films that have had bad reviews really good and vice versa. mellow.gif

Call me sad, but I loved the film The Postman. biggrin.gif

Didn't realise it had a book version though...
The Doctor
Sounds interesting Laura, 'Dragonfly' - have you got a description/write/taster for it handy? smile.gif
lauraakafoxy
Yes but cant say to much or wont be worth you watchinmg it!!

Basically they are very earthly people (both doctors), she was working with the red cross in another country and their bus crashed.
Gradually wierd things happen and children in the ward she used to work in see her in their near death experiences when they flatline and she has told them to tell joe (hubby) she needs to contact him urgently.

dont wanna sayy to much and i explain it badly but its a great film!!! thumbup1.gif

Sorry to dampen everyone's spirits but I watched Dragonfly with Laurakafoxy and I predicted the end quite quickly!!!.....Now I don't know if the film is just too pradictable or if it's just me and my phsycic powers!!!.....lol sleep.gif
lauraakafoxy
Hello Magenta - yeah but you always predict films no-one else can - i think you have some kind of psycic film watching power!!! hehehe good film thought isn't it!!!
The Master
What does she want to tell him?

The Master
lauraakafoxy
not tellin!!! will spoil the film for everyone else
Magenta
She wants to tell him...................that she ate all the pies!!!!....lol......
Yeah it's an ok film, I don't like Kevin Costner tho!!!!!!!
Eckie
Kev's ok, he just needs to make more interesting films, he's probably a better director than an actor
Magenta
What?.....like Clin Eastwood!!!!!!!....lol.....has anyone seen 'Midnight in the garden of good and evil?'...........fantastic film!!!!
shadow
Not caught that one either, I really need to watch more films.
Eckie
Clint Eastwood is generally a good director, he's looking a bit old these days to be in front of the camera...........this is a colt zimmer frame, go on punk make my day, lets have some bingo laugh.gif
Magenta
It's a great film!!!

It has John Cussac and Kevin Spacey in it......oh and very small appearance by Jude Law!!! .............Sooo good!!!

Ok I've finally seen it, although predictable, it is a very enjoyable film. Thanxs for that Laurakafoxy.

My husband enjoyed it with me and we have made a pack that if there is something one of us has to tell the other but we are dead, then we will write a note and not scare the b'jesus out of em, like the wifey did in that film. wink.gif tongue.gif

Shadow
lauraakafoxy
