Planet Terror and then Death Proof.

(Grindhouse in other words. But I'm not sure what order I was supposed to watch them in...)
 
A Very Long Engagement

the most visually stunning film I've seen in a long long time, sumptuous detail in every shot. Beautifully made. Classic Jeunet.
 
I watched half of Season 3 of Oz. Actually got an ache on my bum from sitting, wrapt, on an uncomfrotable sofa.
 
eXisTenZ - David Cronenberg – fucking beautifully shot film, dodgy accents and acting throughout but its like they are meant to be like that, this is a film that knows it’s a film and doesn’t try to be anything else despite its subject matter. Almost every scene in this could be framed and hung up as a piece of art, I’m going to look for more Cronengberg stuff now, RFOAD is one of my fave films and this is great too :)

I watched it after your recommendation, it was just like being on ketamine!! :D:D:D

Wicked film, very well done :cool:

30 days of night, however, wasn't, What a load of shite.

OMG I know!

I thought "ooh I like Alaska, I like vampire films, it got good reviews, should be good on a Sunday evening when ill".

Half way through we nearly turned it off as it was so rubbish but I need closure when watching films so we finished it. What a waste of an evening! :mad:

I think eXisTenZ is quite watchable but a bit cheesy. We have it on DVD though so cant think its that bad.
 
The Messengers - why? terrible. predictable.

We Own the Night - excellent. and it reminds me of all the hong kong cop/gangster movies i grew up watching. recommend!
 
21 - MIT, boy genius, black jack, casino. surprisingly good.

2 days in paris - didn't expect/know what it's all about beforehand. enjoyed watching it. many humourous moments - haven't laughed so hard for a long time. love it.

Yeh it was really shite, aaah well!!!

Will borrow existenz off you if that's cool! :cool:
 
The Mist. Although I like the ending, it was stupid.

Nobody would do that surely, I'd rather get eaten by the massive Cloverfield type thing they saw than shoot my little boy and the others. And anyway they could've waited there for three days till they got thirsty, and as it turned out the mist cleared in five minutes.

..that said it's good to not have the Hollywood ending again.

30 Days of Night. Liked the vampires, proper hard cunts.
 
CONfidence - got halfway through before realising I'd seen it before. Watched the rest anyway.

Rachel Weisz smoulders somewhat, Ed Burns is a full fat Affleck, Giamatti always good, Hoffman totally ludicrous and once again Andy Garcia steps in 'cos they couldn't afford Pacino.

:hmm:
 
The Wages of Fear. Fascinating stuff, although I was more gripped by the frankly homoerotic undercurrents than anything else.
 
We finally got Juno on lovefilm and I loved it. I thought Ellen Page was brilliant and the soundtrack was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed it. :cool:

I've just added Hard Candy to my rental list and also I've finally given in and added The Wire.
 
restraint - austrailian thriller. worth a rental.

daylight robbery - bank robbery got away. some annoying characters. but it' alright.
