Why did I do it? I knew it would be shit, maybe not quite as ball bendingly shit as it actually was though.
Cheap hack Saturday morning cartoons style script. Such basic characters and motivations.
Wayyyyy too fucking long.
I love you Phllip Morris -
Not really as advertised at all. I got the impression from the right up that Carrey was a wacko who fell in love with his cellmate who then tried to track him down all over the place and be a part of his life on the outside with hilarious results. Not so. A much much better film than that. For a start they only share a cell because they are already in love, and there is no madcap crazy chasing, they hook up straight away. I guess for some reason they thought that was a harder sell for a Carrey movie. I enjoyed it. Sad end.
A serious Man -
Great stuff. Another Coen brothers ramble.
"secret test"
The Time Travelers Wife -
Apart from the woman who played the wife, this film was almost exactly as I had imagined everything from the book. The meddow, the library etc etc. An ok film adaption of an ok book. I kind of wish it had stopped at the major revelation. It all goes downhill from there and you are just waiting for the end.

Visitor Q...well it took my mind off Irreversible.
Not sure if I was supposed to be laughing, it's funny as hell but very very fucked up
One of my favorite films from one of my favorite directors. Miike Takashi was asked to make a film as part of a selection of love films by famous directors. VQ was his take on that. I love the way the family pull together in the end. I must watch it again, it's been a few years now.
I'm not sure Miike has made anything really decent since. He does a lot of mainstream stuff now. Mind you he always said he was in it for the money and that the trademark long shots were to save time and the subject matter simply made more cash in the low budget market. Now he is paid well his films mostly look pretty much like any other mainstream film .
Its a shame because even his early 'shit' films like sliver had something bonkers about them to love.
I've got Ichi the Killer on d/l now. Any other recommendations?

So many particulars. So many questions.
they've killed the New Cap City story arc dead which was the best bit and now it is on mid season break as well. I'm probably not going to bother going back to it when it returns.
Tonight I shall attempt to watch The Prophecy 2 once again as I keep being to drunk to follow the story properly.

"The Hurt Locker" - excellent, thoughtful, with very good central performances.
"Sherlock Holmes" - watchable fun, Robert Downey Jr was great as ever and even Jude 'cannnot usually act for toffee' Law was okay
"Wolverine" - it has Hugh Jackman with his shirt off. And his kecks off. I loved it!

Ichi is great. Also see . . . .
Kishiwada shonen gurentai (young thugs - Nostalga)
Bird people of china
Fudo
Blues Harp
Izo
Gozu
Dead or alive 1 2 and final (I prefer 2 and final, the films are not really related so you can watch them in any order).
The City of Lost souls
Agitator
Full metal Yakuza.
Audition
There are loads of good ones
Voley

First three episodes of Martin Scorsese presents The Blues. They vary depending on who directed them - the first Scorsese one is great, the Wim Wenders one drifts off into sentimentality a bit and I missed half of the Chuck D one because the wine got the better of me by then. Worth a watch though - quite looking forward to watching some more of it tonight.

The Business - It was okay.
Bird people of china was interesting. There's moments of laughs and tears. Bizarre and funny at the same time.
Audition was ok. Plain gruesome. Nothing much besides that.

Not nearly as bizarre as most of his stuff around that time. It's one of his straightest films. Kishiwada shonen gurentai is very similar in feel. Probably my favorite of all his films though I have a soft spot for the really mental WTF ones like Dead or Alive Final or Bizita Q and Izo.
Not nearly as gruesome as some of his stuff. It's not my favorite film of his but it's very good and there is far far far more to it that just the gruesome end, which isn't all that gruesome anyway.
Also recommended are
Graveyard of Honor (remake)
The Guys from Paradise
I find the shinjuku triad trilogy ones a bit dull
The Soloist
7.5/10 Solid performances by Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr.
Rather heavy film though. The oufits of Jamie Foxx were a bit far fetched for a homeless person, far too theatrical looking.

On another thread people were slating Battlefield Earth, so I thought I'd give it a go, reasoning that it couldn't be as bad as everyone was saying due to a seeming snobbery against the sci-fi genre.
Luckily the site I used only gives 74mins of streaming before it cuts off, I fear a 75th minute may well have destroyed my will to live.

That must had been well shit to make de niro/Pacino look shit!
it was, although I liked seeing them do scenes together , the plot was nonsense
followed that with 'I love you, man' which I liked, sweet and funny
