There's only one Jimmy Grimble
My little un's into football and supports City so it was a must, probably the worst acting ever, rotten pefromances from Gina McKee, Robert Carlyle and Ray Winstone but he was completely taken by it and really enjoyed it. Shaolin Soccer is a bit better.

a serbian film - exploitative trash, weird distorted commando-type soundtrack, not much to write home about. there is some kind of subtext about pornography and the balkan war, but it's a bit perfunctory
micmacs - sentimental over-prod-designed tosh for xanaxed yuppies
whip it - extremely formulaic teen-comes-of-age-by-doing-something-rebellious-that-the-parents-eventually-support comedy, but hey, formulas work and this does very well. it also has the virtue of lots of beautiiful women whacking each other. 100 minutes of feelgood bliss.
kung fu panda - fucksake, grow up, rob! why did you order this? and how the fuck can a goose father a panda?

oh, and i also saw, on actual vhs, good to go, a police thriller set in the go-go scene of early 80 washington dc, starring art garfunkel and with a score by trouble funk. i shit you not. it was crap of course, but worth a watch and the soundtrack is excellent with some live performances by the band. definitely benefited from being watched on vhs. at first it didn't play properly with the soundtrack and top bit missing, so i had to remember 20 year old tricks to get it working properly by fiddling with it. it was all part of the fun.
someone should start making low budget movies for vhs release. cassettes are having a revival, time for a vhs one.

Stay Alive in '25
Summer with Monika.
At first it made me nostalgic for all the fun I missed out on, but the teen pregnancy, early marriage, cuckoldry and tragic ending were not so enticing.
Bergman's film of 1954 does make you see where the phrase 'arthouse' came from. Even in black and white, Stockholm and the Swedish countryside are startlingly beautiful. It's historically interesting, I suppose, that while the eponymous Monika gets her kit off, her boyfriend is not required to disrobe.

Jacquou le Croquant. A bit melodramatic at times; interesting because it's a film about a time period - around 1825 - which doesn't draw a lot of attention in film.

I watched Everything's Gone Green a canadian film written by the author Douglas Coupland, kinda fell asleep so need to watch it again.

The last three episodes of Spartacus: Blood & Sand. Overall, I thought it was a superb series - well acted and meticulously plotted. But I wonder whether the wall-to-wall nudity and over-the-top violence actually worked against it - made it seem far more 'lowest common denominator' than it actually was.

Factotum; Bukowski based Matt Dillon flick about drinking, writing, fucking and menial labour. All it needed was Tom Waits soundtrack...

Land of the Dead. About what you would expect. Some inventive body-destruction scenes.

I do. I don't like watching downloaded stuff on my little computer monitor and can't afford a Blu-Ray player.

Same as.........3 of us crowding round a smallish monitor that only has sound through headphones would be no fun at all............don't have a dvd player either, x-box for us !

Really enjoyed it, funny and innovative. Certainly not as mental as Old Boy.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - nice pace and great film. I was expecting it to go all Festen but nope.
Everybody's Fine - It was good when I watched it...but it is forgettable.

I watched Dead Babies the other night after remembering seeing a bit of it on C4 a few years ago and being interested.
It starts off like a Withnail and I rip off but descends into excellent madness with a fucking brilliant tripping sequence. A variety of posh twats and masheads go into a house for a weekend of fun with some American dude with a suitcase full of drugs. Hilarity ensues. Takes about an hour to get into it but is pretty good once it does. 7/10
I also tried to get into a film called Grace which was just some middle class film graduates attempt at a scary film about er...dead babies...which was boring and crap. The theme wasnt intended I can assure you
