I watched Twin Peaks last night for the very first time 
That was disturbing and i didnt really like it that much although i appreciate it as a film. I can see why people would think its good but it lacked a bit of depth for me.
Found it pretty scary in places too, bit annoying in others, laughed a couple of times.
I know that im gonna have to watch it again because there is bound to be stuff that i missed but i wont be in that much of a rush.
I understand that i could get slated for this.
On IMDB it a 9.5 average rating if that means anything and i bet there are people here who reckon its amazing. sorry but it didnt really do it for me although further viewing my change my mind

Friends with Money.
Wasn't really expecting to like it, especially since i find Jennifer Aniston extremely annoying, but it was actually OK. Aniston, when she's not doing the ridiculous Friends schtick, can actually act, and the other three women in the film (Joan Cusack, Frances McDormand, and Catherine Keener) are among by favorite actors.
Still, i would have ended the film differently; it was too much of a Cinderella/Hollywood ending for my liking.
Also watched Season 5, episodes 9 and 10 of Six Feet Under. Only two episodes left, and that's it. I'll really miss this series when i'm finished with it.

Don't worry, i also think david lynch in general is grossly overrated.
best thing he did was elephant man, by a mile

Island of Dr. Moreau, with Marlon Brando. What is wrong with that man?

Finally finished Capote which Ive been watching in bits and bobs cause Ive been knackered every night and struggled to stay awake.
Great film elevated to brilliances purely on the grounds of Hoffmans performance. The scene towards the end where Capote breaks down is hairs on the back of the neck acting.
This morning I watched Enron: The Smartest Men in The Room. Brilliantly compelling documentary about the collapse of Enron. A fantastic insight into the nature of capitalism and how Enron wasnt just a one off.

I watched Brick last night and really enjoyed it, an easy watch IMO though in the last scene I did turn the volume up and try to concentrate as this seemed to be where the plot was all explained.
But up to then I wasn't to bothered about following the story, I was just enjoying the well put together film with some good performances, and considering it was made for only $475,000 I think it is an incredible acheivement, and a good film, well worth a watch, IMO.
That said, I wouldn't watch it a second time.

On Thursday night I watched Cry Baby again, with my best mate. Then we stayed up for an hour discussing the hotness of Johnny Depp 
watched a bunch lately, can't remember them all..
The Jerk - had never seen it. Funny in parts but pretty over-rated.
Down In The Valley - not as bad as the trailers would have led you to believe, but not all that either.

Hard Candy.
An average film elevated by two amazing performances by the main characters. I was totally blown away by the female lead.

Mrs Suplex was missing nihon so she wanted to watch lost in translation. She really loves it but I think its a bit shit.
I have to say though after a couple of bottles of wine it was a lot better than I remember. Bill Murry can make any film. Sugi wa broken flowers I guess.

It hasn't aged so well, but I'm still very fond of that film - I watched it again recently and it made me want to learn the ukelele to woo a lady withDubversion said:

yeh, i'm fond of the jerk too. it's one of my big lad's all time favourites so we've watched it a few times in our 'ouse.
me and my lad and his g/f snuggled down with a takeaway to watch Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest last night. i've seen it before but it was just perfect for a post-hangover/hard day at work film.
we got hold of a pirate copy of Pans Labrynth too....but it wouldn't play.

Love murry hate scarlet. Copplas up her own arse and made a good looking movie by chance.
Tokyo looks great anyway, I would have been happy watching Murry mope around the city. It gets shit when Scarlet turns up and gets shitter when they kiss. The moment is saved by some Jaz and maz chaz.

Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette were great looking movies too. What ever you may think about her films, she has a great eye and a distinctive style and aesthetically not much is left to "chance".
I'm not that keen on Scarlett Johansson myself, but playing a character that presumably wasn't much of a stretch she was fine in LIT. Murray hadn't worn out the millionaire in midlife crisis shtick yet but by the time of Broken Flowers I'd become bored with him Xeroxing his performance from Rushmore.

All her films are shit.
it can't all be zombies and Guitar Wolf, Suplex. I haven't seen Marie Antoinette but thought the Virgin Suicides was a damned fine attempt at a nearly unfilmable book and thought Lost In Translation was a wonderful film.

Land of the dead was shit though.
My favorate films include the station agent, swing girls, rushmore and 3 Iron. It's not all Zombie Guitar kill kill.
