I found Save the Green Planet pretty irritating too. Asian cinema at its most self consciously quirky.

aaahhh...seen it.

it kinda dragged a little. not a big fan of 'black' comedies.

i thought you was in china teaching>?

I am, it's a korean student of mine, who resides in this city of dalian (being near korea as it is, there are quite a lot of them :) )
 
I don't watch many dvds, but night before last I watched Little Miss Sunshine - flaming brilliant film.

Last night I watched Into the Woods, the Sondheim musical. Bloody loved it.

What shall I watch tonight? Annie, Singin' in the Rain, Grease, The Muppet's Christmas Carol?
 
I thought Little Miss Sunshine was very overrated. Sure the final dance bit was amusing, and the 'porn/police officer' bit was hilarious, but other than that, it wasn't the amazing film that everyone made it out to be.

IMVHO.
 
The Valley of Elah. No wonder all the recent US Iraq dramas are flopping if they are this bad.

I find it difficult to be critical of any movie starring Christopher Walken

Except for View to a Kill,where he was superb as the villain but it was ruined by a way-past-it Moore. Imagine Daniel Craig in that film. Would have been :cool:
 
I watched The Passion Of The Christ, having put it off for a while - thought it was a tough-going yet very visually appealing movie.

Yes it was nice seeing a man dying slowly from asphixiation

The final crucification scenes were some of the easiest going in my opinion - the whipping by the Roman soldiers with the cat o nine tails earlier on in the film really made me wince.

But as regards my 'visually appealing' I thought the sets, costume, lighting etc all looked fantastic and that it was a very artistically-directed, produced and edited film. And Monica Bellucci didn't fail to catch my attention in her portrayal of Mary Magdelene...

I thought it was gonna be traumatic, hence why I'd been reluctant to watch it since I got hold of it yonks back. Having digested it I think it's a powerful and somewhat beautiful movie, one that I'm now glad has been 'ticked off the list'.
 
The last four episodes of the second season of HBO's Big Love. A rather underrated series IMO.
 
Yesterday I watched a Dolly Parton film on Hallmark, called Unlikely Angel :D As ever, Dolly's presence transformed rubbish into gold.
 
'Walk the line' - the Johnny Cash one - enjoyed it a lot :cool: ...but now heo is watching 'The hills have eyes 2', so I might turn in for the night. :rolleyes: :D
 
I watched the Science of Sleep, quite weird quirky stuff. A little bit similar in spirit to I Heart Huckabees, I thought. Would make a very good double bill :cool:
