I'm halfway through series 3 of The Sopranos.
It disturbs me sometimes, the anti-heroism.

Exasperated, not angry.
watched 5 of the 7 now, and it is jolly good. Not as maginficent as tyhe reviews made out at the time, most of the accents are kinda all over the place, but it's generally well done and on a bit of histroy I realise I didn't know that much about

Lost in the wood
"Taken" with Liam Neeson

What happened to Dubversion ?
Defiance - with that new James Bond bloke was Ok but I've heard there's a Russian Movie doing the rounds set in the same place (Belorus) would really like to see this as I've heard it doesn't shy away from showing that the good guys did some bad shit also

Twilight.
After True Blood it was just too teenage and not dark enough for me, I gave up and went and did something else. Ms S watched it though, mainly for the young man in it.

Oh I watched Burn after Reading on Saturday. Funny, subtle film with a few unexpected moments.

Holy shit the Simpsons really is shit these days, I mean really shit though. Only one of this last season has been even passable.
Everything is Illuminated
Wow. What a great film, in so many ways - this is one that will stay with me.
I got really bad leaky-eye and swollen-throat syndrome, Eugene was just fantastic (how fucking charismatic is he?!), the music, the cinematography, the narrative layers, Sammy Davies Jr JrD) the heartbreaking story ()...
I now need to read the book. I will commence a rigid search for it (on amazon)...

'Fourteen Days In May'.
A documentary charting the last 14 days in the life of Edward Earl Johnson, a condemned inmate on Death Row in Missisippi during the mid 1980's. The footage at the end, where the film crew have to say goodbye to him when he's in a cell next door to the gas chamber only minutes before his execution, and the footage of his final visits with his family are especially sad and painful.
Supremely depressing viewing but, IMHO, something that supporters of the death penalty should be sat down and made to watch.

I pretty much hated the book, which surprised me.

Cloverfield - Might have had more impact if I could have given a fuck what happened to any of the tosspots.

Totally. I thought it had quite alot of promise but that obvious attempt to make us care about the characters with the whole party setup was so lamo, they all seemed like wankers.
Also I kind of lost interest once they showed what was causing the whole armageddon.
I just watched Gran Torino. I really really enjoyed it, laughed more than I thought I would and cried too.
Oh and Sadken, fucking LOVE the growl. Am gonna try and adopt one myself actually.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I enjoyed it cause everyone got totally pwned, but was slightly annoyed by the 'polished blair witch' implausible camera work from a rank amateur with a domestic issue digicam.

As a camera man I obviously had issues with that too, but did except it was for the big screen. I do wonder what it would have been like (and if it would have been more compelling) if it had been been done on a Z1 at least.
A family of ordinary people instead of rich arse mid 20s tossers might have been better. Christ, even war of the worlds with Cruse worked more sympathetically.
I agree with electro girl too in the respect that there was too much monster, and the fact it was a monster was revealed too soon. It would have been great to have been given this without knowing what it was though. Oh chrsit it's some lame soap romance with a wacky filming style. No wait! what the fuck!!!
Ellen Page seems very, very annoying to me.
