The Waitress, it tries to be funny but doesn't quite make it, but it is an enjoyable film to watch, especially if you like pies. This film is obsessed with pies, there is a pie making contest in the film, there are chocolate pies with strawberries, there are vanilla pies etc etc and they all have special code names. Her boss is a complete bastard but he turns out to be the good guy in the end when he dies. :)
 
Alien Resurrection

It has been on Film 4 loads recently yet still I am drawn to the piece. I find Sigourney Weaver frighteningly seductive in that film :confused:
 
Dark Knight - not my sort of film, was an effort to watch and dont understand why it was rated so highly. Meh.
 
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. A kids eye view of the horrors of the holocaust, came on top very quickly at the end, I had no idea it would end the way it did.

Friday, no idea why I've never seen it before, good stuff.
 
Man on Wire - fecking awesome, Phillippe Petite owner of the biggest pair of testicles ever recorded on a man, tight rope walk between the two WTC towers, a total loon spud, this is the sort of stuff that makes you glad to be human, french obviously:D:D:D

Elite Squad - Another of those Rio slum things, this time from the viewpoint of some rather violent and nasty brazilian superplod, watchable, but disturbingly horrible characters.

The Chaser - One of the best murdering psychos I've seen on film for a while, you need to ignore the cops incompetence to fully enjoy this superb Korean thriller.
 
A Little Trip To Heaven. sort of neo-noir, set in minnesota, like fargo, but bugger all like fargo. Nicely shot, but a mess. Couldn't work out why we'd put it on our lovefilm list, till i saw afterwards it ws by the guy who did 101 Rekjavik. He should have stuck to Icelandic films.
 
Watched Cashback the other week, that was pretty good, some nice cinematic moments and plenty of excellent tats portrayed in a loosely artistic fashion :cool:
 
Night of the Hunter

Excellent, film though I suspect that either the author or the studio didn't quite have the guts to end the story with the hangman saying he'd take pleasure in hanging the preacher, rather than finishing on that hackneyed note about how kids will endure. That would have been a neater, more powerful ending for me.

I've got a mate who absoutely loves pies, he eats at least 2 a day. At his wedding there was pie for everyone. I might get him this film.

Then again, eating pies and watching a film about pies arent really the same are they :hmm:
 
A Man For All Seasons

Fantastic film, with a great deal of top notch classical acting. Paul Scofield is just brilliant - on a completely different level to modern actors. The script's fantastic too. There are a few great scenes but this one seemed especially relevant today - particularly the part about being threatened with justice:

 
It's been about an hour now, but I still haven't built up the courage to go back to it. Plus I'm on my own and there is howling wind outside.
