Alone in the Wilderness Awesome. Doc from the 60's about a bloke who builds himself a log cabin in somewhere very cold. He planned on living there for 12 months but ended up staying for 30 years. Awesome, inspiring stuff. Can you tell that I liked it?

Sounds good, I might have to track that down. I think that's what I'd love to do, get away from the human race.

I watched "Sahara" last night, a 40s war time film wth Bogart playing a tank commander in the desert fending off a german platoon from a water well. Very good.
 
Eagle vs Shark , can honestly say Ive never seen anything quite like it , some of the Mike Leigh stuff comes close but this New Zealand look at quirky peeps was really funny and touching with a twist.

an early scene fighting man competition best scenes would spoil the movie though :D


if you get the humour in that its a film for you :cool:

It's an odd one. I really liked it but it's not really funny funny.
Mind you -
"Tell him justice is waiting"
"Ok Justin, I'll tell him"
 
Just started watching my dvd of 'Tales of the City'... Loving the 80's expressions and all the boogie-ing :D
 
The Ghost Writer - Oh my god, this film was so fuckin' amazing! Shame Tilda Swinton didn't play Ruth Lang...great nevertheless.
 
First 3 episodes of "Life on Mars", introducting the g/f to the series after making her watch Ashes to Ashes
 
2012.

Great effects, but I couldn't give a toss about the weak plot and whether the main characters lived or died or their casual attitude to the death of 6 billion people.

I liked all the things going boom though as I watched it through an amp on Blu-ray on a 55" TV :cool:
 
Gran Torino

It was OK but I couldn't get out of my head that if it had been british made it may have been called Ford Capri.

Doesn't have the same ring to it
 
it's not the same plot. i wanted to know what you meant by hollywood. cos it seemed rather a redundant term to be using.
 
Not a film but i have watched the entire first series of Underbelly, the story of the Melbourne gang wars from the 90's through to about 2004 i believe, though it has continued to a degree. I enjoyed it, think The Wire/Sopranos on a much lower budget but all fairly tightly dased upon true events. It seems that it is the biggest series ever in Oz and for anyone wishing to watch gangland gore and how it all rolled out, i'd recommend it. If that doesn't appeal, stay well clear! The main characted of the series was murdered in prison yesterday when it was revealed the police had been paying for his daughter to attend private school since he was inprisoned.

Great film though. :D Clint still manages to play the Lone Ranger but in an utterly different way in his dotage. :cool:
 
But his crooning at the end of the film was unbearable although hilarious!

Good film tho.

I watched Ghost Dog: The way of the Samurai, which I thought was pretty good, I have only seen Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch so it was good to see something else he has done is a completely different style.

I have been told for years to watch Deam Man for ages by a few friends, so might endeavour to watch that tonight.

Then check out his earlier (and best) stuff - Stranger than Paradise, Down by Law and Mystery Train.
