Yep! It's ace. Very surreal and kind of slow, but in a good way. A definite is some good quality headphones to listen to it with. It's a very audio based film, rather than visual.

No dialogue. Just plot.
Watched this last night. Was a bit sleepy so didnt fully get what was going on. Probably worth another watch though.

I saw it when it was shown the other evening, it's an excellent programme, free the Orcas!
Elysium. Not as good as District 9 but still enjoyable.

Forgot to mention that - watched it the other night. Captivating stuff.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Soul Men. Bernie Mac and Samuel L Jackson play two aged has beens of the soul circuit who are forced to set aside past differences in order to attend and perform at the funeral of the one from their group who made it solo.
This involves a road trip, and lots, I mean lots of saying 'motherfucker'
It was quite good in its own way, bit schmaltzy, but funny none the less.

I watched Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind again last night. This was before Sam Rockwell had been in Moon and Seven Psychopaths and was relatively unknown, but he really carries this one. Support from George Clooney and Julia Roberts and with Drew Barrymore doing a great performance as the desperate gf. It's a favourite of mine. Who knew that Chuck Barrish was a CIA assassin? That is all kinds of fucked up.
Swingers (1996). A young Jon Favreau is dragged to VEGAS BABY! after being ditched by his missus. Once there, he and a young Vince Vaughn make docks of themselves, while the later punctuated every sentence with the word 'baby' and tells us all about how to show with the chicks. There was a joke about a waitress knowing who Voltaire is. Was the short of straight to video efforts that me and mates lived on when we were stoned teenagers. Switched it off after about fifteen minutes.
Dude, where's my Car? (2000). That only lasted five minutes.
He Got Game (1998 ). Spike Lee, Denzel Washington. Somehow never got round to watching this back in the day despite their being a bit of a thing with Public Enemy doing the soundtrack iirc. Was alright, though not exactly Lee's best.
Jerry Maguire (1996). Eminently quotable film, though the biggest thing I took away from her was how many times they could make a show of their notoriously short-arsed lead actor hitting his head/having to duck under stuff.

I lasted about ten minutes before giving up. It may have been rewarding in the end but the constant split screen was just irritating

Working my way through Season 3 of Homicide - Life on the Streets which is based on the book by David Simon.
I read the book recently and loved it. Felt i was part of the rotation, in that squad room, involved in the office politics, out on the streets, in the rowhouses, living and breathing Baltimore.
The TV series is growing on me, had trouble adjusting to the characters working out who they were based on and accepting the different media demands. I'm enjoying it and feel affinity with the characters in a different way.
It's good but not even close to The Wire but what is?

it is fairly crap but not so bad its bad, just bare cheese and didn't make much sense but was quite good for the action. Fatally let down by a really bad stop motion sequence at the end where a cyborg frame that looked like a post-meth addiction Terminator attacked the get away plane.

Recently watched a UK horror flick called Heartless. The guy from Across the Universe [Sturgess?] has a big birthmark on his face. He makes a deal with the devil - take off the birthmark so he can woo the Polish immigrant girl.
He thinks he only has to do graffiti, but it's not true. He has to kill someone. So he wraps a gay hooker in cling wrap, and cuts out his heart.
I hope this isn't spoiling it for anyone.
Truly an odd film.
Also, the devil has a sidekick - an east indian child dressed in traditional clothing, who starts calling Sturgess 'daddy'.

A marathon Western session last night watching the Dollars Trilogy, which is seemingly timeless, and probably not watched for the last time either. I have Yojimbo to watch at a later date, which I haven't seen yet.
Also Elysium and Pacific Rim earlier this week, both fairly run of the mill sci-fi, action films, Pacific Rim's CGI being quite impressive with the sheer scale of objects.
Just finished Once Upon a Time in the West and am moving on to a Fistful of Dynamite soon.
