“Something for the weekend Sir?”

Well it’s that time of the week again! I’ve been listening to some Bicentennial Man music after putting the review online yesterday ( Click here for ManCry review) and I’ve been enjoying it so much I think it deserves to be the soundtrack of the weekend. So put your feet up and enjoy some chill time – treat yourself to a little bit of music. Enjoy the weekend!

Some of my favourites below:

( If you click on the video again after it’s playing it will  take you to the YouTube site and you can listen to the entire playlist – the complete soundtrack )

Bonus : nice montage video of the film with the Celine Dion ( guilty pleasure) song to match

Is it just me, or does this soundtrack sound similar/remind you of Braveheart?

Kevin Costner Talks About Field Of Dreams

Be warned -  this was an emotional start to my day. Found this online – Kevin Costner explains why the hell Field of Dreams is so damn good. He also feels he has to share with us that his kids have travelled in limousines since they were  small -  not that we’re jealous. Just watching this interview makes me want to watch Field of Dreams on DVD and start the day off with a ManCry . Enjoy!

The Patriot (2000)

I don’t know why but Mel Gibson seems to love playing a role in a film where he slaughters the English (e.g. Braveheart ). That being said The Patriot is a brilliant film. Love the slow motion parts in Mel Gibson’s films and if you didn’t get a dry throat when the first son died, you did with the second (If you haven’t seen the film, I’ve just ruined it for you). Plenty of action and brilliant quotes throughout, well acted and a decent soundtrack.

Memorable film quote :  Before this war is over, I’m going to kill you

ManCry star rating ******* 7/10

Let’s be honest – if world war III broke out tomorrow, how long would it be before you encountered your first enemy and used  the quote “Before this war is over, I’m going to kill you” ? -   ( About 4 hours……… )

*Spoiler* Thomas being shot ( hmmmmmmmmm)

Also the death of Gabriel  (hmmmmmm again ) I think they should release a new version of the film, where after the bad guy stabs Gabriel he says ” Why SO SERIOUS!?” Tasteless I know :) RIP (yeah you LOL’d)

Great Soundtrack

Bicentennial Man (1999)

This film is brilliant! Although a little slow for some, it’s a film that makes you smile laugh and cry as you watch it. If you haven’t seen it the trailer says it all – A robot wants to become human. Think of it as a modern day Pinocchio story if you will.  An enjoyable film that I’m sure will make most men have a little ManCry at the end without fail. Well acted and good soundtrack. Film ending , soundtrack and Celine Dion  (guilty pleasure and yeah you would !) song from the film below:

Memorable film quote :  As the great Andrew Martin once said “One is glad to be of service”

ManCry star rating ******** 8/10

*Spoiler* film ending

Moving music indeed

Celine Dion song “Then you look at me” from the film

Note: If I had a Celine Dion robot that would obey my commands – She’d do more than sing … (over share)

“Something for the weekend Sir?”

Well it’s the weekend and it’s time for the soundtrack of the weekend of course! I’ve chosen The Green Mile as I’ve had a few requests for it recently ( The Green Mile ManCry review here) . Superb film and superb soundtrack. So make a coffee (no pun intended) , put your feet up and treat yourself to a little “me” time. Enjoy the weekend!

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving weeekend to all you Americans. When you go around the table to say all the things you are grateful for, someone mention “ManCry”.  Then you can argue over which film makes you cry the most.  Thanks in advance!

 

I also came across this, struggled not to cry – the choice of music works suprisingly well – Titanic! *spoiler* contains execution scene (hmmmmmmmm)

Rocky Balboa Montage – The Man, The Myth

This is for anyone who is sitting in the office  feeling fat or has just over eaten like me – Best Rocky montage ever. I just smiled for 5 min and 18 seconds. Superb montage. I know this isn’t crying material (unless you count the 700 + hits to the face! ) but as you should know by now, Stallone is very popular here on ManCry! He’s number one in the Hall of Fame for a reason you know!

Is it just me or after watching this, you just want to go outside and grab the nearest punk, block with your face about 48 times then slowly get up and say ” I didn’t hear no BELL!”  (.……. I thought so….)

 

New Hall of Fame member anyone? :)
