Grandma Death
Reconfiguring & Reconstructing
Union. It was part of a gift set from M&S. Some cracking games with real betler tries in it. Its about 2 hours long!

chinatown - class polanski noir tec thriller. jack nicholson plays the anti-marlowe and john huston is pure evil as the villain. daniel-day lewis obviously studied him for his role as daniel plainview. he even nicked the voice.
Amazing film.
I don't think I've ever seen a poor Polanski film, although I understand that Hugh Grant one is shit (Bitter Moon?)

So many particulars. So many questions.
Last ep of Inbetweeners.
Very funny, very touching.
Wonderfully observed comedy series

Glad you enjoyed it. It's the standout (UK) comedy of the decade IMVHO.

What? isn't very good (some interesting notions, but not very well done)
Death and the Maiden is okay, but disappointing, considering its Polanski. Similarly Oliver twist, notqable solely for restoring Dickens' original ending.
Bitter Moon is probably shit, but its a Huge rant one, so I've never been able to sit myself through it.

bitter moon is great. grant plays a stuffy arrogant englishman who you're not supposed to like, so it's not much of a stretch for him and shouldn't put you off

Got this downloading off the back of your recommendation
Enjoy. The sequels are actually better than the first one. The talented little prick was only 25 when he made part one.

The Good Thief. V cool, hard boiled, shit hot dialogue, Nick Nolte smoking cigs and looking too cool for school kind thing.
The Crying Game. So well written, even if you know the twist.

I wouldn't go that far Mr Hyperbole
Certainly it ranks up there with Peep Show
It's better than Peep Show. Only other programme I'd rank alongside it is 15 Storeys High, but The Inbetweeners much greater accessibility (15 storeys just isn't for everyone) makes it better.
For a minute I thought you were talking about "The Cook, The Thief"... I was about to say "Hang on, Nick Nolte wasn't in that!"

Rosemary's baby is a fierce film.
I also love Polanski's version of Macbeth - the best film Shakespeare IMO

it's not as good as Ran, nor Welles' Macbeth
Not seen either of those.
But I remember my English teacher showing us the Macbeth one, and I was like "Cool, Shakespeare can be good after all"

A recommendation from you usually means something's pretty good, so I'll have to have a look for it...

I want to see Broken Lance which is meant to be another Lear adaptation, tho with sons rather than daughters.

Lonesome Dove - the first part, Leaving
Only finished the book recently so was chuffed to get this through so quickly. It's fairly faithful to the book, minus a few things (no Wilbarger for instance) - and I think if I was in charge of casting, I'd have swapped Gus and Call to have Robert Duvall playing Call and Tommy Lee Jones playing Gus, but hey ho.
Second part tonight - I made myself wait

I agree. Fantastic movie. Kurasawa is a genius. Seven Samurai still ranks as one of the best movies ever made
On a different note, I watched the Wrestler last night with Micky Rourke. I never really liked him in the past but he redeems himself beautifully in this movie. Loved it
