I must say Mike Leigh does nothing for me at all now.
He was important in the Eighties, but he's just shite now.
I don't see his films as condescending as such, though he obviously gets posh actresses to play poor and doesn't get it right.
I just think his films are shit.

I watched Rescue Dawn, which was very disappointing - it had a shocking Star Wars ending, which annoyed me, even though it really happened. The only thing that showed it was a Herzog film was the lush landscape photography. The music was awful too. This doesn't bode well for his remake of The Bad Lieutenant.
I also watched Uwe Boll's House Of The Dead, which was enjoyably appalling.

Fuck you Dave!
"Jumper" - lent to to us by my brother-in-law. I didn't expect much and, in that respect, it didn't disappoint. Pretty shit and I spent most of it thinking how Hayden Christiansen looks like Kristian Digby

nekomimi rocks!!!
vantage point - interesting but what a silly, silly ending.

May Kasahara
take me to the feeling

Woman in Paris - written and directed (and scored!) by Chaplin, though he's not in it. Good, though.
DJ Squelch
King Of Insides
The Strangers - first half was Ok , quite good build up in tension, but then just became stupid & the line between ghosts / baddies was too fuzzy. So what, were they ghosts or just (Mansonesque) nutters? Plus a shitty sub-Funny Games ending.
Iron Man - standard hollywood SFX laden film , OK but nothing outstanding.
Saturn 3 - Kirk Douglas, Havey Kietel & Farrah Forcett running away from a killer robot in space - excellent

worked it out now!
not a dvd but i watched 'hard target' on tv earlier and it was alright. had me clapping my hands during the shoot-out scenes.
Watched the first Harry Potter film last night (cheers B0B2oo9) for pretty much the first time. Have read the book (enjoyed) and listened to the audio book (really enjoyed) but never really had much interest in the films. Always thought that these stories (whilst I am sure many here hate the whole franchise) worked a LOT better in your head than on screen.
Actually found the film very pleasant.... Certainly not groundbreaking/challenging/alternative but a pleasing watch

Santa Sangre - Jodorowsky's most accessible film, but enough armless women, knife throwing, midgets and Downs Syndrome kids snorting coke to keep the weirdos happy.

Hardly getting over it.
Angel-A.
I like the occasional sentimental film, like (and Jamel Debbouze's face cracks me up too!).

The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Couple of Band of Brothers episodes ('Bastogne' and 'The Breaking Point', 2 of the best IMO) and then a Buffy Season 4 Episode ('The Yoko Factor').
Good TV evening.

The Lives Of Others. Great film, recommended.
No Country For Old Men. Nearly as good as the book, in fact I think it worked better on film than on the page. Probably McCarthy's intention, which is a shame 'cos his books written to become screenplays are weaker than his straight fiction. Hopefully The Road will be great on both.
All The Pretty Horses just arrived, don't have high hopes.

No hair shows you care.
i watched this really shit film that i'd been wanting to see again for DECADES and picked up at the weekend. It's called THE MUSIC MACHINE and is basically a complete and utter rip off of Saturday Night Fever, only set in Camden. I thought it might have had kitch value, but it is simply woeful. In fact i had to switch it off half way through and went and repotted a basil plant.
i actually preferred the film, it made mccarthy's point more clearly, i thought.
it's wank
