[upsidedownwalrus]

I thought it was excellent. One of the better rom-coms IMVHO.

A Feast of Flesh - Complete utter toss

 

[CharlieAddict]

Glad you liked it. One friend watched it on my rec and wasn't impressed at all

a lot of people i know disliked it!
and some just fast-forwarded the middle to the end!!!

was really impressed with Cusack. think he made the film alive...great little horror story this (not in the modern sense but in the original Haunting sense - madness and not gore).

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Me too - I like a good bit of old fashioned suspense. Some bits in the first half had me properly on the edge of my seat!!!

 

[snackhead]

12 minutes into Revolver and already -I'm gonna go the distance

 

[sojourner]

Well I WAS gonna watch Sympathy for Mr Vengeance this morning, but my stupid fucking telly did that thing where it cuts off the bottom half of the subtitles, and no amount of pissing about with the settings will make it all appear


So I borrowed Apocalypto off the girls.

 

[Orang Utan]

Are you not able to change the aspect ratio?

 

[sojourner]

Are you not able to change the aspect ratio?

Tried EVERYTHING I could watch it on my laptop but it really fucks me eyes doing it like that

Gutted - same thing happened with Lilja 4 Ever tother night

 

[Orang Utan]

Your telly must be broke then

 

[sojourner]

Your telly must be broke then

Ah, well, I've just been informed that the remote I've been using is mainly for the dvd player, with limited functions for the telly

The TELLY remote control has been 'lost'

 

[Orang Utan]

You know what I would have done?

 

[sojourner]

What?

 

[Orang Utan]

I would have taken more care of the TV remote control in the first place.

[Augie March]

Ratatouille. Which is just stupendously lovely and well-made. Best Pixar film so far IMO.

 

[Leica]

Dolls by Takeshi Kitano.

 

[Augie March]

Dolls by Takeshi Kitano.

Which is a damn beautiful film.

 

[Leica]

Which is a damn beautiful film.

Yep
I had been putting it off because I knew it would make me cry.

 

[Reno]

In a Glass Cage. Quite an amazing film.

 

[Part 2]

When The Levees Broke - absolutely masterful doc from Spike Lee - a fantastic piece of political film-making - the people in are amazingly articulate in their anger and bewilderment and that anger is infectious - it's very moving too - especially the scenes in which people are recounting their returns to their destroyed homes - Bunk from The Wire cries!
Well worth four hours of screentime - if you haven't seen it, I urge you to.

Seconded.

An awesome piece of documentary film making.

I couldn't find words tbh. I never remember names but Phylis Montana Leblanc is one I'll always remember.

People should just watch it.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Outlaw. Don't know why the fuck I watched it. Was one of the worst films I've ever see. Shame as subject matter could be potentially interesting in the hands of a decent director.

 

[jodal]

<takes Outlaw off "to watch" list>

I watched quite a few films over the weekend:

A Mighty Heart - Angelina Jolie acts her heart out and I have to say I had to choke back the tears on several occasions throughout.
Rendition - Interesting narrative structure but all in all a crap film about a worthy subject. Shame.
We Own The Night -Pretty average despite some good actors present. Never really cared about the characters.

La Vie en Rose - Lovely Film all three actresses surpassed themselves

Ghosts of Cité Soleil - Touching documentary about modern day Haiti, I really think this is worth a watch, it's amazing that people can live like this just a few hours from one of the richest country's on Earth

Excellent film - I really loved it. Awash with tears at times though

I've just been told it was two actresses that played Edith Piaf?

I didn't cry....
