Yep, the next few series are a bit like that. If you like happy clapping singing then you're in for a treat.

The new version looks like it could be the worst film ever made.

Tyrannosaur - Pretty gruelling but good. Peter Mullen and Olivia Coleman are both excellent but I thought Eddie Marsan's character was a bit underdeveloped. It's also a very good looking film.
Route Irish - Like a the last few films of Loach I felt that the set up was really good but the conclusion didn't work. The interaction of Fergus & Rachel, his perspectives on Iraq etc was all excellent but the ending just seemed completely over the top to me.

Blade Runner - It may be a quarter of a century old, but Blade Runner still seems like the future....

This is on my Lovefilm list and I am looking forward to it coming.
I have Carnage at home at the moment and am hoping I have time to watch it this weekend.

I loved Carnage. So funny. Think it got slammed on release, mysteriously.

While I think its a pale shadow of Polanski's best work, I agree that it was a lot better than many critics said it was.

Shakes the Clown.
I have a lot of time for Bobcat Goldthwait, but this is tough sledding. I'm not sorry I watched it, but it's just so damn strange.

Well, exactly. It has its moments, though. 'Binky' is pretty well done by the actor. And you get an unknown Adam Sandler in a supporting role... for better or worse.

Wild Bill , I really liked this .Predictable ending but everyone likes it when the bad guys get a beating. I would have personally climbed into the TV and nutted that white kid Pill if he hadn't sorted it out. The lad who plays Bills eldest son is superb.

I watched the little seen Julia again, a crime drama with Tilda Swinton, which is one of my favourite films of the last decade. This one got even better watching it a second time. Swinton gives one of her best performances, playing a hopeless drunk who just got fired. In her desperation she gets roped into a harebrained scheme to kidnap the young son of a mentally unstable woman who lost custody of the boy, with the promise of a lot of money. Swinton's inept criminal then plans a double cross which backfires and she has to go on the run with the boy. It's one of those films which starts with a bad situations that just gets worse and worse, but it's believable because the character is at the end of her rope. It's very atmospheric, gripping and often darkly funny with Swinton often hilarious as a fucked up anti-Mary Poppins, the last woman you would want anywhere near a kid.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Watched Manhunter- had forgotten how superior it was to the newer version.
some fine actors in it. him who went on to play billy batts as the police chief, spotted Burrell from the wire and of course the superior Lector who I recall from loads of stuff but only rob roy springs to mind
Also saw Zodiac this weekend, thought it was a good period piece and was suprised to see jake gyllenhall who I had considered something of a lightweight pull a good role

Manhunter is good.
It wasn't Billy Batts, though, was it?

Dennis Farina- no imdb says not, been in loads of stuff tho
I'm watching Munich, the Steven Spielberg propaganda movie for mossad. Overall it is just OK, but there are some brutal killings in it - including the killing of a woman in the Netherlands in revenge for killing an Israeli. It really messed with my mind. Big lovely boobs, and then she gets shot. I am waiting until I have watched the last 30 minutes of it before I found out how much more of it is fiction, and how much more fact about the killings Spielberg left out.
Felt sorry for the (ruthless) honey trap in her final moments. Not because of her boobs, though.
It also got a bit annoying whenever the assassins turned up somewhere different, with the viewer treated as if they're thick. Oh, we're in Paris now, so people selling onions and cheese with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Oh, we're in London now, so black cabs and red telephone boxes. Oh, we're in Amsterdam now, so people riding bicycles next to a canal.

I've just been to Amsterdam and that's a sight impossible to avoid if you're in the centre.
It wasn't in the centre, if I recall. That's an irrelevant detail though. It just got a bit annoying for me. You don't have to make overly simplistic 'cultural' references to show that the Mossad agents have arrived in another country. But at least French people weren't wearing striped tops and berets.
I watched Another Year tonight. I give up on Mike Leigh, I just find his films unwatchable thesedays.
The other day I watched Machuca. Chilean film about two boys who form a friendship when the priest opens up the posh school to the poor kids.....until the Junta takes control. It's a brilliant film that I've seen before. Having see Au Revoir Les Enfants in the meantime there's a few similarities. The performances from the kids are great, the girl especially.
