I saw the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas with my ten year old brother, who didnt really know anything about the Holocaust before watching it, but the film is kind of aimed at older children, maybe not 10 year olds, but anyway he was in floods of tears at the end, it had such an impact. Although I felt a bit bad that it had upset him so much, it was the exact reaction he should be having so I was sort of glad that he found it so moving :(

:)
 
ooops sorry :facepalm:

thought you might have known the subject matter, which is what he found upsetting!

are there any other films you were going to watch i can ruin for you?
 
Imaginarium of Dr Parnasus - Gilliams comeback movie. Bad. Very bad. Gilliam has a knack of making films that seem very flimsy and almost as if you are watching them from next to the camera, seeing all of the props and extra people you arent meant to see, even though you cant it just feels like that - which has been good in the past, making them unique and quite edgy. This one doesnt pull it off. Its all over the place and just doesnt grab you. Shame really :(

District 9. Fuck me. This is brilliant. I watched it on a torrent and went out and bought it straight away afterwards (£4.79 ASDA). Unbelievably good :cool:

just had to buy s1 and s2 of mad men. i need to see it again (though i haven't seen s3 yet). commentaries and extras should be interesting.

I'm just watching season 3, but will probably hassle you to borrow season 1 & 2 again at some point, Best thing on TV.

:D coulda been much worse I guess

Erm, I'll just keep schtum on what I'm planning on watching next I reckon ;)
 
I thought that The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas was excellent. I rarely get emotional due to films, but I had a real lump in my throat as that one unwound. A creeping sort of dread, IYKWIM.

Tonight has been an episode of The Amazing Mrs Pritchard, which was crap. I don't believe for a second that the writers had never heard of Il Popolo Viola and didn't really see why they put such a feminist slant on the story. Followed by the 1st part of Messiah series 2.
 
Still watching bits and bobs of the X-men cartoons and last night i got another episode of The Wire s1 in before bed :)
 
one to watch

Case 39 7/10
Rene Zellweger Great horror film. The little girl's acting is just memorizing.
Was 20 minutes too long though. The jump scares were a bit gratuitous.
 
Mulholland Drive

A mess, but an intriguing one. :hmm::cool:

(-Next up, either The Honeymoon Killers, Grey Gardens, or Hubert Selby Jr: It'll Be Better Tomorrow.)
