I kinda have the same conversation going on about Ted's movies in the Ted Levine thread that someone else started. I'd like to start a separate one for Tony's movies on a different thread. When I'm not feeling tired or lazy, I'll copy/paste some of my posts from IMDb on this same subject, simply so I don't have to retype everything I already posted on his movies that I've seen. For now, has anyone seen Made Up?

I just saw a couple of youtubes with about ten minutes each of footage from the film. Um....uh......not sure what to make of it just yet but I think I'm going to go ahead and try to netflix it. For now, I have Wings and Heat coming next.

If you've seen Made Up, let me know what you think. Parts of it do look a little....uh.....God I'm old. I do have trouble endearing myself to movies that make me feel uncomfortable in spots and I found myself wincing once or twice while watching the youtubes. The weirdest movie I saw that I did like was Brazil. This movie isn't weird in a Brazil kind of way, but weird nonetheless. Other than that, I tend to avoid movies like the plague that have odd aspects to them in much the same way that I don't like noir. I did see some stuff I liked so I'm going to give it a shot.

As a side note, in a lot of scenes, Brooke has gray hair. Not sure if it's natural or whether they colored it that way but in my opinion, it's a very good look for her. She looks real that way. I've seen her in a couple monkisodes with darker, even-toned hair and couldn't tell if she was wearing a wig. She looks much better in this flick.

Let me know if you've seen it and what you thought of it.

I like Made Up. It's a good movie about the focus on youth and beauty, and I really like Brooke in it. It felt a little slow for me at times, but there are some scenes that I really love. Like when Tony's character is practicing his expressions, when he tries to kiss her goodnight and she freaks, the whole wig scene in the restaurant.

Have you seen Big Night? That's my favorite Tony movie. Understated, but full of feeling and it says alot leaves you with a good feeling. I just love Primo.
mjwannabe
One of my favorite Tony movies is Big Night with Stanley Tucci. I also enjoyed The Imposters quite a bit. And being a horror movie fan I feel obliged to mention 13 Ghosts. Galaxy Quest ranks up there as one of my all-time favorite movies. I wasn't supposed to just pick 1 movie right? tongue.gif

I really enjoy Big Night and the Impostors, and I do believe Barton Fink is a very interesting movie, with Tony as an stressed publisher, that drinks milk and wisky at the same time!!!! Great!! small part5, but still great!! he is a very good actor, yes he is!!

Yvette88, sorry, but I have to quote and ask: "This movie isn't weird in a Brazil kind of way". Didn´t get your statement, how weird kind of way you are mentioning?

Okay, here's me copy/pasting from the other site. Here's some of what I've seen and haven't seen. Feel free to say what you think about movies you've already seen and please feel free to suggest some.

I did see Thir13en Ghosts--it was okay. They overdid the blood to such a degree that it wasn't scary, and some of the lines were awkward/stilted but I ended up watching it several times before I sent it back to Netflix. The beginning was pretty corny though. I found that if I started the movie from where Tony and the credits come in--where they establish his wife is dead and their house burned down--it's a much better movie. The beginning is just so bad. If you watch a lot of newer horror films, it's not real scary. By old horror movie standards, it's not real scary either because there's nothing in it that really hits you as scary--like they had to do back in the day before they could spray blood everywhere. Nowadays you're just supposed to be scared that something's killing people and there's blood everywhere. That really doesn't do it for me.

Tony does very well in the movie, and that's considering the flaccid script and him having to say "hell" all the time. I was surprised to see that Robert Zemeckis had a hand in producing it.

Rah Digga as the nanny Maggie is very good in the film. I like F. Murray Abraham, but his part in this film was just so bad--I think it exceeded even his abilities. Matthew Lillard was exceptional! Never heard of this guy before and he had some bad lines in the movie as well but I discovered he's a very physical actor and he was outstanding in it. Very distinctive acting style.



I did see both Men In Black and with all the makeup, I was still able to peg that as Tony--fantastic movies and I'm partial to the second one.

I haven't seen any of the Spy Kids so I'll have to cycle through those. I had a couple people tell me that Tony's only in the last five minutes of the last one, so I taped it and then fast fowarded it--I'm just not in the target audience for these films and that's the only part I wanted to see, so..... Anyone know what the hell that thing is on his head??? rofl.

That's another reason I started this thread: I was trying to figure out which movies he's only bit-parting in. I likely will not be bothering with any of those, especially the chick flicks. I really don't do chick flicks--Life or Something Like It sounds like one. I'll look into it but so far, it's not in my netflix queue. I saw Galaxy Quest and Big Night--fantastic movies! I only saw a youtube clip of Imposters and it doesn't look like my kind of humor but I may break down and netflix it anyway. Who knows.


Okay, checking out Life or Something Like It--it already has two strikes against it: "Romantic comedy" is one. Angelina Jolie is the other. rofl.

Anyone know if Tony has real screen time in this movie? Otherwise I'm not going to subject myself to this one. His name is pretty far up in the credits--third or fourth--but all the synopses I'm finding say he just tells this woman a football score, that it's going to hail, and that she's going to die in a week. Sounds like another bit part, in which case I'm hoping someone just youtubes his role and I can just see the part I want to see.

I don't want to tick off any die-hard chick flickers but I hate those kinds of movies. I'd rather drive paneling screws into my forehead. Watching one is like being trapped in hell without a fan and sitting way too close to Brendan Fraser. Anybody out there have any idea how much screen time Tony has in this one?

I posted on this one while I was watching it: Watching The Man Who Wasn't There. I'm not really into noir but this movie's okay. Tony's fantastic in it, as usual. I like Francis McDormand--she doesn't really know how to make a bad movie. It also has Michael Badalucco--George Nelson from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?--I like this guy. I have to watch for his movies. Billy Bob Thornton....usually has me running for the nearest exit. I hate that guy. I think he should be dragged into the street and beaten. I have to say he's good in this one. He hasn't annoyed me yet, of course the credits haven't rolled yet...

The only Coen Brothers film I didn't like was Barton Fink--not a bad movie but I hated it. Everything else with Coen Brothers on it, I usually try to catch it. As to The Man Who Wasn't There, I can see that this movie is brilliant--I just can't get into the story. At all. Not in the least. I don't care about any of the characters. I feel like I'm watching Citizen Kane--a brilliant movie whose storyline I just couldn't care less about. "Oh. I get it. It's a sled." When I was in college, I had to watch that movie five times in class. Oh, the shadows, the camera angles, the depth....wow. I'm dazzled. Truly I am. By the middle of the second screening, I just wanted to be struck with a hammer and left for dead.

Getting back to The Man Who Wasn't There, as soon as the judge comes into the court room and stops the bailiff from having everyone stand up, I said "She's dead. She either killed herself or she was killed in prison. I'm betting they go with suicide...." Yup, she killed herself. Hope that wasn't supposed to be a huge plot twist.

I'm willing to say that maybe this movie's just going over my head. Maybe I just don't get it.

I have to say I love the fact that they shot it in black and white. That helps. From 1-10, I put this one at 5.

Saw Gattaca. Good movie. Downside was that Tony's only got one bit in it but it's a good part. If sci-fi's not your kind of movie, you should still be able to get into it. Pacing was near-perfect and the movie got better as it went along. Loved the ending. biggrin.gif



That was a long post but I was playing catch-up here. Let me know if you've seen one I haven't seen--anything worth catching.

lol. It's kind of hard to explain. Brazil was a product of some of the Monty Python alum. I loved it but it's just about 6 miles south of "whoa, what the hell was that?" It's all subjective with what we like and don't like with certain films, and this one did not do well at the theater. All I can say is check it out. I'd say it's worth seeing at least once.
Chacal
I haven't seen very much movies with Tony yet, but I think that he suits the comedy genre best and especially those rather slow and clumsy roles like Monk, Antonio, Fred Kwan or Alexander Minion (better than Sam LaRocca in "against the ropes" for instance)
I liked him in 13 ghosts, but the movie itself wasn't very impressing - there are lots of movies made like that one.

Well, I hope to see more films with Tony in the near future as for now it's a bit hard to compare.

Sorry abt my questioning, but your statement sounded to me like you were saying my Country is weird....anyway, if this was the intention, then I would have to ask you: how can you have such close wiew of the reality here? LOL
No, my Country is not so weird as it seems to appear to you guys....just a bit less weird than this!
But if you want to compare Brazil - country - with the oddness lying on Monty Pyton´s Terry Gillian´s Brazil - great oddness by the way - then I will say you all are right!!!!
in a sense....
haha!

Ok, I like Terry Gillian, I liked Brazil as well, and I believe someone should give Tony a better and bigger role in a nice hollywood movie, the ones that are nominated to Oscar, because he is a great actor!!!!
OMG, I believe that just because he is a great actor he wouldn´t be in a movie like that......
OMG, I am saying bad things now....
Need to quit the coffee....

Okay, I get it now. No, I'd never presume to say anything about the country of Brazil--I was talking strictly about the movie only. rofl. I've never been to Brazil--the country. Now I understand the confusion though.

Unfortunately, I have not seen too many of Tony's movies, although I've been trying. I'm in between jobs at the moment and my parents don't have a dvd player, so I can't rent anything and the only movie of Tony's they ever show are Men in Black, which I've seen. I got a dvd player for Christmas when I was away from home, but I'm too lazy to hook it up wink.gif

I've seen both MIBs, but, not having watched Wings when it was originally on, I must admit it wasn't until Monk when I recognized Tony on the movies. Then I had to convince my mom that he was Jack Jeebs (they didn't believe me). I liked the second one better, only because Tony's in it a little more.

I loved Thir13en Ghosts. I thought it was fabulous. I'm not a big horror movie type of person cause I get scared real easy, so it was just the right amount of scariness for me. It was also the first time I heard Tony swear, which sounded really strange coming from his mouth. I dunno, people seem to swear in movies all the time, but he just seems the type that doesn't swear much.

I have always, always, always wanted to see Galaxy Quest, but haven't yet sad.gif . It really ticks me off, too. I mean, it's been nine years now and they only show it on HBO and Cinemax....those type of channels which I don't get and really don't want to pay. C'mon cable channels like TNT and those type of movie channels, show Galaxy Quest!! I finally found it in a store, but I have that dvd player problem again....oh to only find a job, get my own house, and watch some Galaxy Quest!

I taped A Civil Action cause it was on TV a few days ago on my DVR, but haven't gotten around to watching it. It looks good and my dad said it got 3 1/2 stars! Not a big John Travolta fan, but hey, if Tony's in it, I'm watching it!

I've only seen the third Spy Kids. I kind of want to see the first two only cause I hear he's in those ones more. I was so excited when Disney Channel was showing SK3 because I knew Tony was in it. Imagine my disappointment when, after watching 90 minutes of crap (sorry, but you can definitely tell it's for tweens), Tony's in it for like five minutes at the very end.

Ones I've wanted to see: Paulie. I've seen the clips on youtube and it looks really cute. I see he's pulling off another terrific accent. The Man Who Wasn't There. It looks good. Again, I don't like Billy Bob Thornton, but I've heard from different people that Tony should have been nominated for a supporting Oscar for this role. The Imposters. It looks hilarious from the clips on youtube. Big Night. Again, it looks like another amusing movie with Tony and Stanley. They seem to work very well together. Made-Up. I love seeing Tony and Brooke working together. They make a cute couple.

I've been wondering that, too! Anyone care to enlighten us? Do you go by an anonymous name, Tony? Can you tell us??? biggrin.gif

I found myself watching it several times before I sent it back. Can't account for that--seeing the lawyer get cut in half is a big draw, granted, but other than that, I thought the script could have really been tightened up. I thought they could have done a lot more with it. I had thought there was a similar horse scene in that movie but it wasn't in there when I saw it. I must have been thinking of a different movie.

Galaxy Quest is a fantastic movie--I bought the tape years ago because of Alan Rickman. He's one of my favorite actors. It's a spoof of Star Trek and those conventions. The actor who plays Guy is a standout in it. There's just nothing in it to not like. A top notch film.

Being a big Home Improvement fan, I was immediately drawn to GQ by Tim Allen. Why I didn't watch it when it was in theaters, I don't know...maybe too busy with school work, not enough money??? But after familiarizing myself with other talented actors, I see what a star-studded movie this is. It has all my favorite actors in it: Tim, Sigourney Weaver (I was a Ghostbusters junkie), Alan Rickman (Harry Potter fan!), Tony, and Darryl Mitchell, who was on "Ed," one of my favorite TV shows.
Teresa1643
I absolutely love Galaxy Quest. For me it's the perfect movie and it's what led me to Monk. I liked Tony so much in the film (and the rest of the cast is terrific as well) that I couldn't wait to see his new series.

Life or Something Like It, on the other hand, except for the few scenes Tony had, seemed like a complete waste of time to me.

I remember Darryl "Chill" Mitchell from the John Larroquette show so I already knew him before Galaxy Quest. Unfortunately he was in a motorcycle accident in November 2001 and is paralyzed from the waist down. He's a good guy. He's involved in sports with handicapped.

Galaxy Quest! I love Galaxy Quest, as a recovering Trekker, I can't help it. I watch that and think, "Yeah, I know someone like that...and like that...And that...Good lord, I know some strange people!" I love how Fred, Tony's character, is just so subtlely stoned throughout the whole movie, and still, every now and then, a bit Monkish. And Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tim Allan and everyone else were fantastic in it as well.

Also loved MIB and MIB2 because I love comedies, especially goofball space comedies, it would seem.

I like Tony in The Man Who Wasn't There, and I liked parts that didn't have him in them, but mostly I liked him.

Paulie was just an all around cute movie and I adored the accent Tony was using, one of my favorite lines was when he was trying to tell people that Paulie could talk, and said "He called me a mop monkey." I don't know, I guess it was the line delivery, but I laughed for days everytime I thought about it.

I liked Big Night, too, I have it on tape, but it's not my all time favorite. Tony and Ted make any movie better, just by being in it.

Big Night kinda left me flat the first time I saw it. I set it aside for a day or two and then watched it again--whammo. Some movies I just have to see more than once--it was the same for me with Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and the first Harry Potter movie. They're two of my favorites now. It could just be one of my personal quirks, but I'd suggest giving Big Night another shot.

Love Galaxy Quest! It's so clever, acting is wonderful, each character is interesting and it's just a great movie.

I'm so glad that Paulie was mentioned. I love this movie, too. smile.gif You can watch it with your children. After a stressful day, where you just want to put your feet up and relax, this is the movie to watch. Of course, watching Tony in these movies is wonderful, he is sooooo great.

Liv, I also love that line - mop monkey - It is delivered so well and I love Tony's expression. LOL If, you haven't seen this movie, it is well worth getting it. I bought it on DVD and I don't buy many movies.

13 Ghosts is also OK. I think mainly because Tony is in it. LOL I happened to see the original, it was made somewhere in the 1950's. What a difference! It's in black and white. The script is similar but the special effects is so outdated that's it's almost funny. After, seeing this one, I watched Tony's again and appreciated it much more. I even enjoyed it more. smile.gif Not sure why but I did.

Nice thread, thanks for starting it.
Love this Board. smile.gif

Well there is a lot of good movie with Tony. It's hard to choose wich i love or not love. I love all of them but i was disappointed when i saw Spy Kids 2, 3 and Impostor ( not The impostors! ) because Tony was in these for just a few minutes sad.gif .
I love him in Paulie with that russian accent and in Big Night with italian accent rolleyes.gif
One of my favorite movie is The Siege, too. I loved the kissing scene with Annette Bening:
" i love lebanese man" , ME TOO biggrin.gif
And i almost forget The man who wasn't there, that is so great. ( Tony deserved an Oscar for it!! )
The 13 ghosts was hilarious, that is the only horror movie wich i like.
randys1girl
I've seen...

13 Ghosts: I don't think I've seen it all the way through but for a while there they were showing it all the time on Bravo or some station. I'm not into movies with so much action and horror, but the ending is cute, where he's hugging his kids. I think Tony is really good with kids!

Life Or Something Like It-My husband actually first found out about Tony while watching this movie. It takes place in Seattle so that was my interest in seeing it. They were showing it on the plane to Australia back in 2002. I wasn't sitting in a good seat to watch it, so I rented it months later and ended up falling asleep during it! Tony's character at the beginning is rather weird. I don't think he's in it a whole lot, but I wasn't impressed with it the last time I watched it either. He plays a prophet-type who tells Angelina Jolie that she doesn't have long to live.

Big Night-I really liked this! It was cute! I had seen it years before but it bored me. Of course when I realized that Tony is in it, I had to watch it again. Here's a link to a review I posted a while back...Big Night Review

Galaxy Quest-I only saw bits and pieces of this but it was pretty funny. Kind of reminded me of Spaceballs (Bill Pullman, John Candy; "Star Wars" Spoof).

Thanks for the info on the other movies! I'll have to check those out! I'm really looking foreword to "Made Up" and
Great New Wonderful"

Paulie is a great movie, he is so sweet in it, and he's the hero, I love that. Impostors was a so so movie but worth seeing his special scene. And what about Quick Change? The cab driver with the weird language, "Bluftony!"

Oddly enough the same thing happened to me with Big Night. I was bored the first time I saw it but watched it again later and absolutely loved it. Now it's one of my fave Tony films.

I forgot to mention two other movies that I've seen, both of which I didn't really care for:

~ Life or Something Like It - I really don't like Angelina Jolie and Tony was not really in this movie very long. I just didn't really care for it. One of my favorite scenes was when Jolie's character goes to Tony's character's "home" because she's starting to believe his prediction and gives him an offer. Tony just looks at her and says "ah, I see we're already in the bargaining stage." It sort of reminded me in "Gets a New Shrink" when Adrian goes through the grieving process in about a minute!

~ Imposter - I think that's the name of it; it has my other favorite actor, Gary Sinise in it. That movie was really, really strange and Tony was in it for the very beginning. He gets shot, so if you don't like seeing Tony dying, don't watch it sad.gif I think the only thing that made me keep watching til the end was the fact that Tony and Gary were in it.

I forgot about Quick Change. I see Bill Murray's in it, who I like. Is it a comedy or a drama? I've seen clips on youtube and it sort of looks like a drama with comedic lines...I don't know, it's kind of hard to explain.

I absolutely loved Barton Fink and had no idea Tony Shalhoub played the tough talking overly caffeinated publisher. He was incredible! You would never recognize him. Tony Shalhoub is not one of those actors that has success as one character and plays it over and over again. He's always fresh and never fails to impress me with his talent.

Given the fact that I really like both John Goodman and John Turturro, it defies logic that I didn't like this movie. The only thing in the whole movie that I did like was Tony's role. I've tried watching it three times. I simply do not like this movie. Feel free to pelt me with lawn darts. Be sure to leave my body in a nice wooded area. rofl. unsure.gif

Interesting topic. I was reminded the other day about how long Tony has been making movies. In our newspaper, the reviewer often takes a look back at older movies he likes but don't get much notice. He reviewed a Bill Murray movie from 1970 (I can't remember the title), and Tony was in it.

In school my daughter watched Gattica from 1997, I forget for what class. Tony was in that.

I think my daughter watched it in Biology I last year. I think. Is that the one with Jude Law in it?

Yep, I just checked and that's the one that she watched in Biology last year when they were studying genetics.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Tony has a part in 1408. It is only a small part, you only see him for about two minutes, but he makes the most of it...as always!
MonksDaBomb
I can't remember the name of the movie (so obviously I haven't seen it), but has anyone seen a movie about a young boy who plays the piano? I've seen clips on youtube and it looked interesting. The boy looked like he was some genius at the piano but I think he had Tourette's syndrome or something. Anyway, I doubt I'd like the movie that much because of the language. I was absolutely shocked when I heard Tony talking - every other word seemed to be the f-word. Anyhoo, has anyone seen it and what's the name of it?

I can't remember the name of the movie (so obviously I haven't seen it), but has anyone seen a movie about a young boy who plays the piano? I've seen clips on youtube and it looked interesting. The boy looked like he was some genius at the piano but I think he had Tourette's syndrome or something. Anyway, I doubt I'd like the movie that much because of the language. I was absolutely shocked when I heard Tony talking - every other word seemed to be the f-word. Anyhoo, has anyone seen it and what's the name of it?



I think you' re talking about The Tic Code. And unfortunately i didn't see that movie yet dry.gif

I have The Tic Code in my netflix queue--as soon as I see it, I'll post it in here. Sounds promising.

My favorite three TS Movies are:

Big Night
Made-up
The Man Who Wasn't There

But I really love to see him in every role. The only movie I don´t like is "13 Ghosts".

On my board you find threads of his films here:

Tony Shalhoub Filme

And a lot of videoclips here:

Also you can find a lot of screenshots from some of his films on my TS picture page. To see all folders click on the arrow bottom left.

I've seen "The Tic Code" with Tony. He operates/works in a bar with a piano where this kid comes to practise. The kid has Tourette's and is introduced to a sax player with Tourette's. It's an excellent movie on how the kid learns to deal with his tics when he's around others. There is also a romance between the kid's mom and the sax player that is fraught with problems.

Liv ~~ I think you'd really like this movie.

Ooh i like this thread!!

I've seen quite a few films with Tony in that i though were fabulous!!

*I saw Paulie and i just fell in love with that film it's so sweet!! Also i love the part where Tony (as Misha) says "Hey bird, you like mango?" haha me and one of my friends love the film and that scene especially and we alays do that part, i think the Russian accent is fabulous too!! biggrin.gif

*Galaxy Quest!!!!!!!!!! OMG that is BOSS!!!! Haha whenever i talk about Monk or any film with Tony Shalhoub my friends always say "Ooh i didn't know it was Tony Time already!!" i'm like "ah ha ha your funny"
*WINGS is great i liked the part where Antonio learned to dance and the Italian accent is the type that makes you just stop and daydream. happy.gif

*The Siege was also cool, I liked the "Death by deadly colour" or something like that, that was good, i also find Arabic culture fascinating and am trying to learn how to say words and sentences in Arabic (since i was in year six<age eleven> in primary school i have been fascinated because we had a couple of mixed cultures and stuff in school and some were from Arabic backgrounds and stuff). smile.gif

*Spy Kids- Alexander Minion- "It's Mr Minion now...." the tone of voice and the way he pulls the glasses off and brushes aside his hair, OMG!!!! wub.gif

*Thirteen Ghosts- cried with fright i was terrified and ran out the room when Tony's character was attacked by the Jackault or whatever the hell that thing was with the cage on his head!!

*The Imposters LMAO!!!! Highly embarrassed by one part, but overall i thought it was cool, was Voltri's fake accent British? If so sounds good on Tony. blink.gif tongue.gif

*Barton Fink- One word popped in my head when i saw the scenes with Tony- Tourettes!! But i thought it was funny even if there was a whole load of offensive language, he was also in a film about a kid who had tourettes right? The Tic Code? Saw a little that was good, and also Blind Date i saw a clip last weekend totally cool haha! smile.gif wink.gif

Sorry for the big long post, i'd add more but i bet i already bored most to tears Haha!

....Pinkie....

If you rent the Director's Cut, you will see much more of Tony!

Ashley, Thanks for the information. I am going to have to see about renting the Directors Cut, it sounds like my kind of movie...the way the movie should have been anyway!

This link isn't to anything having to do with Tony's movies but it does take you to a site where you can watch almost any episode of Monk online. There are japanese subtitles across the screen but it didn't take me long to forget they're there. If you've missed any of the monkisodes, it's worth the minor annoyance to be able to pull it up and watch. Just an FYI.

Thanks for the link Yvette...

There are still two episodes that I haven't been able to see (Joins a Cult and Buried Treasure), and it's driving me absolutely crazy. I noticed USA had Joins a Cult on in their online rotation, and I tried to catch it the other morning (between 3 and 5am -- nasty satelite download restrictions) but it crashed on me three times, eventually leaving me with a frozen picture. After the third time, I decided just to listen to it. But even the audio crashed on me a few minutes later. (Imagine me in my jammies, drinking my coffee, pulling my hair out)

So the next time I'm awake between 3 and 5 am, I'll check it out.

I saw The Siege recently--it's now one of my favorites. Amazing movie. Saw both Men In Black movies--I'm partial to the second one but love them both.

Just saw a couple of youtube videos of Careless and can't make heads or tails of what this movie is about. Has anyone seen it? Part 1 looks like it would be part 2 and part 2 looks like it would be part 1. There's a severed finger throughout, frequent references to bad smells, some weird afro-psychic dude, and Tony kicks the twinkie cream out of some guy on the beach. Whut up with that?

I think you saw clips I had posted on Youtube not so long time ago.
This movie is about
(I took it from IMDB)
Wiley Roth finds a severed human finger in his kitchen one night. Understandably freaked out, Wiley and his best friend Mitch try to figure out the mystery of the finger, in a search across Los Angeles that brings them in contact with psychics, ineffectual police, crooked taxidermists, mysterious neighbors who might be on drugs, and a nine-fingered woman named Cheryl who might, improbably, end up being the girl of his dreams

Hi Bubba here, I will say Thir13en Ghosts and Spy Kids would be my favorite Tony Shalhoub movies. He was good in those. But, it's always different to see him not in his Monk role.

Wanted to rescue this thread from page 5 but also say I just picked up some Bruce Willis trilogy--I hate Bruce Willis but one of the movies is The Siege, one of Tony's best. I netflixed it a little while ago after seeing clips on youtube and was floored by it. Love that movie. Also have IQ coming by way of Netflix. I've never seen it and it looks a little chick-flicky but it's supposed to have something to do with Einstein so it sounds a little interesting. Has anyone seen this movie yet?

When I was a young teen I had something of a crush on Tim Robbins (strange, I know), so I used to watch I.Q. quite often. Back then I knew Tony only through his role as Antonio on Wings. He has a cute but small role as Tim's boss, the owner of a garage.
