Survelliance - Very slow until the last quarter. I sensed strong influences from dad, in particular Blue Velvet. Worth a watch if you enjoy this kind of movie.
 
The Bicycle Thieves. Masterpiece is it not. More tension than in many a horror film. Anyone know what the songs (in the working class club and the posh restaurant) are about?

the one in the restaurant is about the birth of a child to an italian woman who was either raped, or prostituted herself to, a black GI at the end of the war. it's probably the latter as the other song, Ciccio Formaggio, is also about a pro, iirr
 
More Buffy
Nearly finished them all now
Should I start on the 110 episodes of Angel or is it not worth it?

Yeah, definitely worth it, although the first season is probably the weakest.

Watched both series several times and now I tend to prefer watching Angel episodes.

Good to hear, I have enjoyed the lightness of Buffy after the 'less light' viewing of The Wire. Reviews seem a bit mixed for Angel but you are not the first person to recommend it. Although nearly £100 from Amazon so I might have to check some mates hard drives :oops:
 
The Mattei Case - Rosis tries to do a serie-z (not a z-movie) type film on the priobable assasination of Enrico Mattei (a sort of before his time Berlusconi figure) - doesn;t really work as a) Mattei was an arsheole etc and b) he didn't really use then opportunity to dig into the state/mafia background of the post-war italian state. I wasn't sure if he was lauding Mattei or not and that ambiguity didn't appear to be intended. Or was it?

edit: typically great performance from Gian Maria Volontè. I seem to be saying that a lot recently

I've literally just bought that box set (split up with girlfriend and she got the Angel DVD's), only £80 from Play.com - http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/701809/Angel-Complete-Seasons-1-5-Box-Set/Product.html
 
Just finished watching Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. It was good but I didn't understand everything as I've never played the game before.
 
Loud Quiet Loud - the film about the Pixies. Very interesting. 4 people who can't really communicate with each other except via music.

I think I might have peaked too early building myself up for this gig, mind. It's not till bloody October. :D
 
Girl, Interrupted. Already seen it once but daughter is mad on it, and it made good hangover viewing. Mmm Wynona and Clea :cool:

London to Brighton - scary, hilarious in parts, and really rather good. "can I have it back after, it's not mine" :D
 
Had that lined up for a few weeks now, but never seem in the mood atm to be possibly bludgoened by it.

I didn't know what it was going to be like, but I recommend watching it. You won't be bludgeoned, really, but it's quite scary, chaotic, and violent at times

There are some really funny bits in it though
