I watched the Science of Sleep, quite weird quirky stuff. A little bit similar in spirit to I Heart Huckabees, I thought.

I've TSOS here to watch.

I hope it's not too much like Huckabees, too wacky for my liking.
 
License to Wed
I Think I Love My Wife
Shrek the Third.

The first two: Very ordinary.

Shrek: Not as funny as the first two Shrek flicks, but not bad.
 
Blackadder! I'm working my way through the whole thing. Did it with Red Dwarf at the beginning of the week and am on this now. Need a giggle!

We watched the Spongebob Squarepants movie earlier on - it was fucking brilliant!

Yeah! We had a "Who would you be in the spongebob movie?" thing while having our tea last night. I was Dennis :D

My 7 year old said Patrick because he likes the bit where he wears tights :eek: :confused:

I just watched Sin City. Great stuff, definitey gonna have to read some of the books.
 
just seen the last half of Sky Captain and the world of tommorow - looked great and was actually not bad :) :cool: was expectuing it to be deadly serious not a sci-fi take off/gentle parody of 1940s gung ho war films
 
not exactly a film but i saw 'god in ruins' at the soho theatre group the other day.

and it was amazing! best play i've seen for a while - and i saw alot of shit this year!
 
live free or die hard - ok-ish, nothing new, surprised that maggie q was in it though.

invasion - alright. the ending bit, could you forgive those who were infected and had no recollection of what happened? that part is not very convincing to me.

i'm legend - recommend!!!
 
ratatouille - good fun kid movie, adult will love it too.

stardust - entertaining.

rescue dawn - good one! christian bale always delivers great films.
 
Little Dieter Needs to Fly and it's feature film version Rescue Dawn. Rescue Dawn is a gripping if surprisingly conventional POW drama considering it was made by Werner Herzog. Christian Bale is excellent as always as the eternally optimistic Dieter Dengler.

What did you think of the doc? I loved it

Actually I haven't watched it to the end. Half way through I decided to watch Rescue Dawn and I will finish the documentary now. I think it probably works better that way round. What I saw was excellent.
 
I haven't seen Rescue Dawn yet, but after watching Little Dieter, I felt I didn't need to. A feature film of Dengler's story seems so unnecessary cos Dengler himself is such an engaging presence on the screen - it's difficult to imagine how the story could be told in any other way.

If you are after the story than you're better served by Little Dieter Needs to Fly, if you want to see an above average war film than you could do worse than watching Rescue Dawn. Rescue Dawn does gloss over some of the more interesting aspects of Dengler's life.

If a hack like Michael Bay had made Rescue Dawn I would only have bothered with the documentary, but as Werner Herzog made it himself I was curious to see it.
