Watched 'Burn after reading' recently - ended up watching it twice as I wan't corpus mentis first time...

It's not brilliant but it's pretty good - best moment for me was the 'unveiling' of the chair :D but an unusual chair does not a masterpiece make!
 
"The Dark Knight" - very good, excellent performances, especially from Heath Ledger, and some good moments. However thenend confused me

Why couldn't they pin the deaths Two Face/Harvey Dent did on the joker rather then making Batman the villain. I mean I know they had to make him into the Dark Knight but still...
 
I liked Casino, but thought it'd be better, 3 hours is a lot for a film when I felt a lot of it was based around the annoying wife he shoulda got shot of straight away.

The build up and events were entertaining, but it started off good, and seemed to slow down.

Because a doomy ending means they can create the perfect story arc to the hopefully brighter third film, and I'm desperate for there to be a trilogy where the third, more upbeat film, is actually good.

Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried...about the security...of your shit.:D:D:D
 
Dub Echoes - a Soul Jazz DVD issue of a documentary about dub in all its forms that originally came out a couple of years ago i think. Excellent doc, covers hip hop, D&B, dubstep etc as well as, obviously, dub. Some classic interviews with the greats.

Good answer :) - I am just too literal sometimes. I am soon going to turn into my Dad and start grumbling "Rubbish! That just wouldn't happen" :oops:
 
Just watched Two Lovers, with Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow. What a crock of shit, can't believe it has such good reviews.
 
The Uninvited - excellent film :cool:

I tried to guess the twist, then it seemed like it didn't have one and then bam! there it was :D
 
Last night watched Babette's Feast which was nice, and tonight watched Up The Yangtze which was sobering.

The Pianist. Love the way it doesn't pontificate. It doesn't have to, it just seems to drop you right into the nightmare of the Warsaw Ghetto. Struck me also as being about not just physical survival but mental... could you have held on to your sanity in such a situation?

Bit of a masterpiece from Polanski there, I reckon.

It really is true though, the third film in a trilogy thing. ROTK was great, but that doesn't count as LOTR was really one long film. Back to the future 3 - shit. Godfather 3. Return of the Jedi, bloody ewoks! :mad:
 
I saw this wonderfully fucked up Korean version of Hansel & Gretel, about a man who gets lost and ends up in this incredible house with a sinister yet friendly family who won't let him leave. At first the family reminded me of the Dentons from League Of Gentlemen, but it gets even creepier than that. The production design is amazing with the house looking like something out of one of Tim Burton's nightmares.

What was it called, what was it called?!
