Stop making me laugh, got things to do, Really
I watched that yesterday, what a great film.Shot on a Canon 7D (or possibly a 5D or both) and a $1million all up.Beautiful story,amazing child actors.It's a film that has cheered me up considerably and an antidote to the crap that comes out of Hollywood.
(on looking at French sites it appears it was filmed entirely with a 5D I don't think they've managed to hack the 7D yet)

We Need To Talk About Kevin: I liked some elements of this a lot, particularly Tilda Swinton's performance and its unflinching exploration of what life must be like for the parent of a Columbine-style killer. The main problem for me was that the kid himself was so thoroughly repellent you didn't really believe in him - it was like he was auditioning for a remake of The Omen and was about to sprout horns at any moment. I also didn't buy the relationship between Tilda Swinton (otherworldly ice queen) and John C Reilly (Toby Jug-faced doofus). The film's non-linear structure was both a blessing and a curse - on the one hand it added tension and intrigue, on the other it only contributed to the film's sense of artifice. It's definitely worth a watch though.

The Big Hit - I have alot of love for this film, a Hollywood attempt at Kungfu plot-style sillines - which I think works well. A few nice touches and quirks in places.
Higher Learning - Awful on so many levels

Le deuxième souffle - Jean-Pierre Melville crime film, so as you'd expect it's class.

The Woman in Black - nothing that hasn't been done before, A bit meh IMHO

Merry Xmas!
Children of the Tsunami - BBC doc on one year on, very moving
Inspector Montalbano - silly but enjoyable Sicilian cop series
Inglourious Basterds - Tarantino war movie, moments of brilliance but not his best work

Conflict - Bogart playing a murderer who wants to marry his wife's sister. Humph and Sidney Greenstreet provide enough entertainment.
Requiem pour une tueuse - Dreadful, very stupid and badly done French thriller mixing assassins and opera. Not even Melanie Laurent can make this worthwhile. Definitely one to avoid.
Also Rear Window was on TV so I rewatched that for the Xth time, still absolutely brilliant.

The recent-ish film version of "The A Team". As my Dad would say, 'enjoyably rubbish'. Perfect for an undemanding Saturday night when neither of us were feeeling very chipper.

Captain America and Paranormal Activity 3. Both better than expected.
I'm tired of superhero films, but Captain America was mostly a WWII action romp with a nice period feel.
The Paranormal Activity films have started to grow on me as I find them progressively more scary. The first one left me bored and bewildered because not much happened till the last few minutes. With the second they cranked up the spooky incidents and the third one is basically Poltergeist as a found footage film, complete with mother smoking a joint and little girls getting hurled around the bedroom by evil spirits (even the design of the children's beds is a nod to Poltergeist). There were some scenes I found genuinely spooky, especially the ones with the camera stuck to an old fan going back and forth. I preferred this to the other recent Poltergeist homage/rip-off, the wildly overrated Insidious.

Tokyo Decadence 
An unhappy S&M hooker goes about her job. The film dissects her alienation and the behaviour of her clients. Meanders in the last third, but otherwise an okay film.
eXistenZ - Cronenberg subverts reality a few times over. Even Jude Law's poor acting can't bury an otherwise good film, but this is not a scratch on Videodrome.

No dialogue. Just plot.
It did. Some people have way too much time on their hands. (Pun intended)

The Long Good Friday.
Has Bob Hoskins ever done any Shakespearian stuff? Because on the strength of this I'd say he'd be pretty good at the more blood-curdling of the Bard's roles.
Anyway, as for the The LGF, it was excellent. Which doesn't come as news to most of you, but was news to me, as I hadn't seen it before.

Few more episodes of American Horror Story.
Really enjoying it, very different to other TV programmes I normally watch, and hard to believe it's the same creative team that made Glee.
Genuinely unsettling in parts.
Jessica Lange is fantastic in it too.

Bickering gay ghosts, an apparition in a rubber S&M outfit and Jessica Lange has the camp dial cranked up to 12, I can see a connection there. I enjoyed American Horror Story, indeed very different form other shows and I'm looking forward to the next series.
