So many particulars. So many questions.
Saw Copland at the cinema. When In was young. Either I was to young to 'get' the film or it was utter gash. I remember being particularly annoyed that sly wasn't Rambo.
I saw The Damned United and I loved it.

The brother from another planet - Great mostly unknown 80's film
I used to have that on beatamax. I wasn't a big fan of it at the time but it's pretty good really. I also had a copy of 1984 (dire) on beta which had a trailer for 'bother from another planet' on it. It was one of the most misrepresentative trailers I have ever seen. It made out that it was a comedy sci-fi blockbuster. It had some crazy arse music all over it (not from the film) and shouted "THE BRRRRRROTHER FROM ANNNNNOTHER PLLLLANET PLANET planet planet" every five secconds.
Sadly this trailer (which I have fond memories of) was missing from the DVD check disc that I was given a couple of years ago.

Yer I can see how it would be promoted like that, as even this trailer does not really represent the film:
As it a social commentary film disguised as a 80's sci-fi flick, it does have it's hammed up moments, especially the two white aliens with their unique running style
So I would say not the greatest movie of the 80's, but definetley very good, especially 26 years later, as New York is changed so much since when the film was made.

i've watched miller's crossing 3 times this week 
i never knew the coen's had done a gangster flick, i'm not a massive coen fan but they're always worth a look, and i love a good gangster flick. was recommended as a film with great menswear, they weren't wrong, top suits n hats 
altogether a joy to watch.

I just watched that new coen brothers film A Serious Man it was alright nothing special.

a serious man suffered from the typical coen affliction of going on half an hour too long then just suddenly stopping, although i saw it at the pictures and was drawn in by the look of it, the period details etc. it was a very pleasant surprise when miller's crossing didn't do the same.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Miller's Crossing is my favourite Coens film. They got everything right with that one as well as making an original and fun genre film.
Last night I continued on with the blood, guts and soft porn of Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I never expected to see John Hannah lick his hand and lube up a young girls arsehole on a tv show in my lifetime...but I have now!

I agree, there were some genuinely creepy bits in the first half of the film then they just didn't seem to know where to take it & whether the baddies were murderers or ghosts. Shame, it could of been an OK horror film.

The thing that made me laugh was that the bloke had a pump-action shotgun and instead of holing up in the house and waiting for the bad guys to come back, decided to leave his girlfriend on her own to go prancing about in the woods for some bizarre and illogical reason. It really was shit.
