Bring back hanging
Brilliantly brutal Korean film Breathless. Story nothing we've not seen but it features a fucking electric central performance - and the same bloke wrote, produced and directed it, as well as it being his debut. Recommended - and keep an eye out for the name Yang Ik-Joon

Hardly getting over it.
Heh. Just finished season two. Thats fantastic too!
Might have to kill all the HBO execs for cancelling it, though!

In the Valley of Elah. Good film. Love Tommy Lee's blackjacking technique!

Big Trouble in Little China for a retro bought-by-the-metre-from-cash-converters fest.
Strange film - was utterly shit but with amazing bits in it and most of the scenes seemed to end with the characters looking embarrasedly at leach other with no punchlines written for them to say. Only really picked up when this guy turned up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo-Pan
He was Chew in Bladerunner

I thought that was fucking dreadful! ideas behind it sounded excellent, but the reality was that it was a mud-sucking omnishambles (shamelessly stolen from the thick of it, and to be used with irritating regularity from me from now on)

Orphan.
Great plot and set, though very 'this is a format which will work so lets do this' which was let down by dragging a bit, some bad acting and some terrible scene composition, as well as some tired cliches - apart from that though was quite enjoyable, worth a watch if theres nothing else on

WHOOO HOOOO !!!
Taken with Liam Neeson, forgot how good a film that was
I thought taken was utter garbage...i forced myself to stay awake just to see if it got any worse. It did.

tis rather a jaundiced movie is taken. his daughter is kidnapped by a bunch of dirty foreign bastards as soon as she arrives in europe, so pop comes over and kills everyone involved, even people who might not be involved (he even shoots one fella in the back!) and gets his girl back just before she is about to be sold as a sex slave to the highest bidding dirty greasy foreign bastard. lesson: never leave america.

crikey, i thought it was quite good

i enjoyed it too - i enjoy morally bankrupt films like that. i even liked death wish 2.
But Blade 2 was awesome.
Yeah. It was like a 10th rate version of the Bourne films, with a huge added dollop of xenophobia the likes of which I can't remember otherwise seeing in a Hollywood film

So many particulars. So many questions.
I want to watch that now. Liam Neeson going on one sounds entertaining
Orang Utan
Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
he certainly brings a gravity to the role which enables him to say the following lines with a modicum of conviction:
'I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you'
those words would sound risible if said by any other actor

First time I've watched this in many years; still intense, unsettling, obsessive, brilliant.
You are taking the piss, right?, right?
Kidulthood was on TV so I stuck it out.
Felt & looked like an over long college project, which I guess isn't to far from the reality.
Some truly abismal acting, wince inducing 'experimental' camera work & music overlays & a dreadfully cliched story arc.
I guess it's fair play to the guy for getting it together at such a young age, but it is ultimatly, a very very immature film & certainly doesn't warrant the fuss that was made over it.
