Fucking hell, who watches this shit? I quite liked the look of it, but the acting and script were atrocious. I was hoping that, as it had vampires in it, there would at least be some violence and gore interspersed with the teen angst. But no. It had nothing of interest at all. Absolute dogshit.

Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, it was OK, I went into it thinking I'd probably warm to Ian Dury, not being that familiar with his work (too young really) but knowing his struggle with Polio, but I don't know if it portrayed him badly or he really was like that, but whilst having his moments generally came across as annoying and not very talented, really a slightly cooler version of Chas and Dave. Worth watching on telly if it's on, but I wouldn't add it to your lovefilm list!
Outlander. Rather silly plot - spaceman crash lands in Viking-era Norway trying to hunt down and kill another alien thing with revenge on its mind - but an okay action film nevertheless.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
I watched The Girl that Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
A pretty messy conclusion to the trilogy really.
The first one was a great whodunnit, the 2nd could have been a brilliant revenge thriller and the 3rd a very good conspiracy story, but it all got a bit confused, the editing and directing was very sloppy by the third film and the plot so fractured that it didn't really make a lot of sense (lots of convenient plot twists that just brigded the gaps). The two leads kept it watchable, and the character of Lisbeth is a really interesting female character, but wasted in this film.

I liked that - saw it at the pics a month or so ago - I heart Romainmancrush
I think that Romain Duris has a certain charm.
I've seen him in a few films before including L'auberge espagnole (Pot Luck), it's sequel Russian Dolls and also in the Adventures of Arsene Lupin. Good actor.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - average thriller adapted from overrated pot-boiler - all a bit dour and humourless. the lass who plays 'the girl' should go places though.

Tremors: Kevin Bacon fights gigantic, people-eating worms burrowing up from inside the earth... Great fun
i love that film. the perfect b-movie

So many particulars. So many questions.
Final Destination 2. Her out of heroes is in it. Bad ecting, epic moustrap deaths. Fine for an 'I am two tired to watch a serious film' night.

i think it's brilliant - it's a great franchise and surprisingly consistent

oh, I rate the moustrap deaths. Thats what makes em worth the watch- I also cheered when Candyman turned up as a creepy mortuary worker. the acting bits are mainly just filler though.

the sunbed death is brilliantly done - is that in number 2?

in 3, which I haven't seen according to google. My favourite in two was the first one where the lottery winning dude (and his totally gratituous aplle product-placement' gets a fire escape to the eye.

Not last night, but over the weekend, I saw Year One.
And I thought... "why the fuck do I keep watching Jack Black films?"

Just watched a film called Chicago Overcoat.
I'm a sucker for america gangster flicks and really thought this would be just another cheap by numbers effort but it was actually very very good.
A bit over lyrical in the dialogue and writing, but Frank Vincent makes for a compelling lead, playing it subtle and moody, a mix of Eastwood and Takeshi with some real humanity thrown in. I'd never believed he had the range, but he truly did.
It reminded me a lot of the lone hitman/gangster films from asia, but with a healthy dose of Sopranos/Goodfellas thrown in.
The plot never went where I expected it to and every performance, even the minor characters, were all very believable.
A nice suprise.

Wild Strawberries.
Ingmar Bergman's famous meditation on life and death in twentieth century Sweden. I thought I'd seen it - but within five minutes I realised I hadn't seen it all. Bergman's work became synonymous with self-consciously 'arthouse' film, and has been parodied many times over. But if you can get over the layers of cliche that this film has been buried under, you can appreciate what a very great artistic achievement Wild Strawberries is.
