Dead Silence - a terrible, terrible film. christ, why was this made?

SPOILER ALERT - why didn't everyone sellotape their mouths? so fuckin' stupid?

Narnia: Prince Caspian - a bunch of Tory kids return to the magical world of Narnia. this was so forgettable. absolute shite of a film. don't waste your time.

SPOILER ALERT - a black guy living in a white society will experience some form of abuse.
a Centaur living amongst humans...can you imagine the abuse?
but according to Narnians, a black centaur is fine.

Paris, je t'aime - some nice stories. and some shit ones. 50/50 - 5/10.
 
Atonement. Really didn't like the book (i never ever like his books much, can't stand the characters) - but i did enjoy the film and thought Kiera Knightly was excellent in it. :)
 
Eastern Promises. Classic bit of David Kronenburg brutality but a really good film. Interesting topic and well-acted in the most part. comedy Russian gangsters!
 
Midnight Movies - fantastic doc about the period in the 70s when midnight movies saved brilliant films from obscurity and turned them into cults..
 
How The West Was Lost - an absolute brilliant (and satisfyingly lengthy) BBC doc featuring (and written by) Rich Hall looking at the relationship between US identity and the Western movie, and how one shaped the other... .Erudite, funny, entertaining, thorough. Marvellous stuff

Oh I've seen that. It's with Audrey Tautou and Jodie Foster has a small part. I was well impressed with Jodie's flawless French accent.

Yeah I was watching and thinking "She looks really like Jodie Foster" it was only when I saw the credits at the end :D
 
Rambo - i was shocked on how visual the violence was.
made me laugh at times. comical in fact. and stallone is beginning to look like a mistake from a transgender op. and what's happened to his speech? i swear it's gone worse.
 
The Fog of War

Got to say that I was pretty surprised that there wasn't a thread on this fantastic film. A brilliant documentary that is essentially a 90 minute interview with Robert Mcnamara, one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century. If you have any interest in politics or history it's, to my mind, essential viewing. His eleven lessons should be standard reading for any civil servant.

Looks like I'll be spending the next few weeks ploughing through lovefilm's Errol Morris collection.
 
Tomorrow I'm going to do the same with John Waters - I've got Multiple Maniacs, Serial Mom, Cry Baby, Cecil B Demented, Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Pecker and Polyester to choose from :cool:

Just watched it myself, a fantastic movie. I'd avoided it for fear it was sentimental (rather than moving, I don't mind moving.. ) but I was wrong, was gorgeous. Amazing cast too, not just from Jeunet's normal company but also people like Elina Lowensohn.

So beautifully shot too.
 
Watching the Wire today...
Liking it but it is not grabbing me straight away.
How did it take for the U75 fan club to get addicted?
 
I'm in the same boat mate, stuck it on for 2 mins the other night then blanked it as it seemed too, I dunno, like you've got to follow it too much. I do know its meant to be the bizzle though so I may stick it on my ipod for the plane next week :)

I could actually watch the whole of 24........fuck :(

For me it happened straight away, but generally it seems to take about 2 or 3 episodes to really start to give a shit.
