Sexy Beast, for the first time since it came out.

Still works wonders, and you have to admire a film that can do what it needs to in 81 minutes and then be done with it.
 
He's one of the most versatile actors ever, IMO.

Have you seen House of Sand and Fog? That's a bloody good film too in which he equally convincingly plays an Iranian. really sad film though :(

he's great in that - it's a proper old school tragic melodrama
 
i watched rosemary's baby and knife in the water
i thought i'd seem rosemary's baby but i clearly hadn't as it this film took me by surprise at how creepy it was. mia farrow (a bea lookeylikey) is excellent. throughout the film, you're torn between believing her fears that everyone around her is in league with the devil, and thinking she's delusional and totally bonkers. very impressive. polanski is one twisted mofo.
knife in the water is excellent too - his first film and particularly impressive considering it's essentially 3 actors on a boat - it's well tense and is basically two fellas strutting about trying to best each other whilst the woman looks on. you get the impression that they're not actually trying to impress the woman at all, it's just about them and their machismo.
 
I'm about halfway through the last season of The Wire, probably finish it this weekend. I'll miss it when it's over - I've hardly watched anything else for the last month. Got Generation kill lined up to follow it.
 
I watched there's something about mary for the first time the other night and it was ok. Mary reminded me of my girlfriend.
 
Just finished watching Enemy of the State, don't think I can remember watching it before, although some scenes seemed familiar so maybe seen snips of it, bloody brilliant film and the finale was sweet.
 
Yeah I thought it was quite underrated, although that's partly cos the Conversation was one of my favourite films and I thought it was one of the few half-decent 'sequels made 20 years later'
