Damsels in Distress - the first Whit Stillman film I've watched. Not bad but I felt the movie didn't seem to flow all that well, some scenes seemed to me to be either cut short or missing from the movie entirely . Despite that Greta Gerwig is great and there are some funny scenes.

The last three episodes of American Horror Story: Asylum. Like the firsrst season this one was ragged and messy, but it's also unlike anything else on the telly, off the wall, creepy, stylish, funny, unpredictable and even touching, it's the most succesfully bonkers US horror TV series since Twin Peaks. I liked how the last episodes took the series into the present. Art direction and cinematography were fantastic. I also liked what they did with Lana thoughout the series, who emerges as the heroine (is this the fist gay lead character in a drama series that isn't really about gay issues ?) even though she has clearly been damaged by events. The series is not afraid of making her come across as harsh and unsympathetic at times, though she's earned being a bit of a diva after all she's been through. Shame that some intriguing plot strands were brought to a conclusion to swiftly, I would liked more of a showdown for the possessed Sister Mary and Dr Arden.

Dredd - really enjoyed it (though some shielding of eyes at very violent bit).....better than expected !

All aboard the 303 bus.
I found it a bit boring and cliche. Watchable but nothing to write home about.
Edit: scrap that, Im thinking about a tv series where the same actor played a brighton crime boss who becomes ill with alzheimers or something....
Tyrannosaur was good

I thought it was a brilliant film.

White Tiger - interesting odd Russian film about a tank with special powers and the tank-god (really). Looks like one of those patriotic WW2 ones but really isn't.

Men In War - Korean war film by the underrated Anthony Mann and starring the always excellent Robert Ryan. Plot is the pretty usual one, Ryan is a Lieutenant who has to get his squad, of rookies, to safety through enemy held territory, but Mann is a good enough director to pull it of. The ending is suitably downbeat while avoiding Saving Private Ryans sentimentality. Not as good as Mann's westerns it's still worth a watch.

Damn. Had a feeling the film wouldn't be all that. Loved the book, though.
This weekend, we saw Greta Garbo in "The Temptress", with live piano accompaniment. Our first "live" silent film

That's because he was being sensible and had a few lines of coke before flying a plane. A lesson to us all.

I've got the book, but never read it, so the film may be good for you to watch to help you tie any bits of the book up that you might not have gotten on the first read. It's one of them where its an investment of your time, depending on what you get out of it.
Have you seen The Artist? Its on my list of films to see but I've not been in the mood yet...

It's a stale pastiche. Watch a proper silent film instead. The best way of seeing them is with live music.

I've been slowly watching through The Beiderbecke Trilogy. Last night I watched the first part of the second series. It's not as good as the first which was brilliant but I'm still enjoying it I suppose. I think the main thing is that it doesn't have such good characters so far... The first series though is one of the best TV things I've ever seen - really nice gentle humour and incredibly well written.
