JSA:Joint Security Area

Another top quality film from Chan-wook Park.

Kang-ho Song particulary good as the north korean Sgt Oh

Yeah a nice film apart from the english bits. I still think Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is his best work, funny and horrible. I like Park Chan Wooks effort in the three extremes as well.
 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Interesting film, a little too long though.
Pitt's very good (as usual), and the make-up (de-aging / aging) is incredible.

All in all it's a very depressing film, with a few lighter moments, but at least Fincher doesn't lay the sentimentailty on with a trowel.

7/10
 
Jour de fete

French thing from the supposedly legendary Jacques Tati, as a (slightly) modern(er) day Buster Keaton.

About as funny as piles overall, one or two moments excepted. Why did I bother? I dont really like Keaton films, so I was never likely to like this one either.
 
I watched Return of a Man Called Horse on Saturday cos it was on telly

Last night I watched The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Been looking forward to watching this since I put it on my list, and it totally lived up to my expectations and beyond - fucking BRILLIANT...apart from it kept sticking and skipping now and then which made me furious and I'm writing a strongly worded email of complaint to fucking tesco :mad:

but yeh - ace film :cool: almost wanna buy it now - could well watch that a few times more

didn't I KEEP telling you to watch that? :p
 
Picnic at Hanging Rock

Very strange stuff, I'm not sure I really took it all in. Afterwards I read the ending that the author's publisher recommend she cut. It was a very good decision.
 
Central Station...a wonderful film.

A different look at Brasil from other films I've seen, left me with a nice warm feeling:)

LAst night I watched Man without a past after seeing it mentioned. Odd, not sure what to make of it, a few very dry, funny moments though.
 
I saw that at the cinema. All I can remember is the running/blindfold scene.

I think you've just helped me find this film after I had given up.
Saw a trailer a couple of years ago at the cinema for something that had a bloke running through a forest blindfolded and really liked the look of the film & promptly forgot what it was called & never heard or saw of it again.

Is this possibly it?

E2A:
Yes it is - Just watched the trailer on YT.
Cheers!!
<clicks on Amazon>

(& more than a couple of years ago - 2001 - fuck me)
 
Son picked Do the Right Thing which was kind of appropriate being as after today there'll never be any more racial tension ever.

I hadn't watched it since it came out on video. Still the best Spike Lee for me.
 
Aguirre Wrath of God tonight, got it mixed up with Fitzcarraldo for some reason, probably Kinski.

The Herzog docu made Kinsky out to be mad but the priest was the scary one for me.
 
Tonight; Crying Freeman = cack
Last night; remake of The Omen = cack
The night before; remake of The Count of Monte Cristo = excellent
 
That's a very good and underrated film :)

Yep. I never even knew there was a recent version. And it wasn't an intentional viewing... the telly was left on and I was doing stuff, then realised something that actually seemed good was on for once. Which meant I missed the first 10 minutes :( I'm really tempted to rent/burn/return this one and watch it again at the weekend :cool:
