The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
The Wire - Season 1, Episodes 2 and 3.
Enjoying it (still got subtitles on for girlfriend though!), Bubbs is a great character and McNulty's (so far) that rare thing - a likeable dickhead.
I love the fact his catchphrase seems to be "What the fuck did I do?"

Gone Baby Gone - surprisingly good directorial debut from Ben Affleck, let down by a ludicrous overblown denouement
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Episode 4 of The Wire.
Good stuff, the opening scene with the desk was classic!
Also loved the Bunk / McNulty crime scene examination - "Fuck", "Motherfucker", "Fuck Me"

Why We Fight
A look at the American 'military-industrial complex'. It was a quite engaging film, difficult not to be with the subject matter and images at hand, but it didn't really have any strong drive to it, or any individual or clearly stated argument that tied it all together. It was still very good but it felt a bit disorganised and loose, above all else a bit of a lost opportunity. Maybe it was made too soon after the Iraq war. For me the best part of the film was the brief account of a 23 year old army recruit getting ready to ship out. Interestingly what we saw of him came from a short film made by a bunch of high-school kids funded by a social programme.

Dead Zone - quite chipper for a Cronenberg - Walken is brilliant in it. A surprising film really considering it came between Videodrome and The Fly.

oh, thought you were dead
The African Queen. Bogart and Hepburn take on the Nazis in Africa armed only with a tiny boat and some gin.

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden. Dreadful.
Watched Lady Vengeance again - just bloody marvellous really.
Then got knocked for 6 by a film I knew nothing about, but had vaguely seen a trailer for, called Half Nelson. Blimey - what a beautifully played & crafted little film - still rattling around my head this morning.

I don't know why but I loved Mon Oncle as a child. I bought the DVD in France a few years ago and was surprised that it actually had French dialogue. The version shown on TV in the UK had everyone just making silly noises and mumbling. The only place you can get that now is on a German Box set as an extra.
I am in two minds about Eagle vs Shark. I liked it but it's maybe just not funny enough. Nice enough as a mood film but yes, some better music would have made it a much cooler.
I liked "tell him that justice is waiting for him" - "Ok Justin, I'll tell him you called".

gosh!
I started out with a crush on Isabelle Huppert...but was a bit scared of her by the end
i hated that movie, for some reason. The guy's transformation didn't add up, and I think i'm just sick of seeing Huppert doing 'tortured'.
