Oldboy, Bitter Films Volume 1 by Don Hertzfeldt and this morning a bit of Belle De Jour, until I remembered the cricket was on the wireless.
 
Letter To Brezhnev - bit of nostalgia there, as it really reminds me of my mum for some reason, probably the overwhelming 80sness of it all. Enjoyed it once more as a little slice of romance.
 
Red Road - I don't have anything intelligent to say about it at the moment cos my brain is empty. It was rather good though.

I absolutely loved that film when it came out - the little things like Margi Clarke enthusing over having her tits rubbed whilst leading such a shite life kind of mirrored how it was round here at the time

I saw that a few weeks back. It was an interesting film, let down a little by the lead character, who I felt was underplayed a little ...and so given the extremity of her situation, less believable. The whole bleakness tone was beautifully portrayed though.
 
Match Point, which is the first non-comedy Woody Allen movie I've seen.

I really enjoyed it - thought it was well acted and quite engaging.
 
It's a Wire-fest!

Watched episodes 4-9 of series two yesterday...absolutely stunning, absolutely hilarious. Cedric Daniels is my hero, in a quiet kind of way, and Omar is a total god. MOAR!
 
pan's labyrinth - quality film on the power of fantasy. good director, i love all of his bad guys though the one in devil's backbone was a tad meaner.
 
Fantastipo.

Two brothers take over Dads mineral water business when he decides to dedicate his life to writing his autobiography. The day to day running of the company seems to mostly involve putting plastic animals on a model island and saying that the bottle caps look nice. Somehow the first brothers heart is not into his new vice president role until a short pilots daughter comes to work as head of public relations for no real reason.
The brothers decide to make a children's programme promoting exercise (no reason). Then you discover a monster called Tom in the basement (no reason). Other brother draws circles a lot because he didn't realise he had grown up. Pilots daughter, leaves (no reason) so the first brother vanishes, but then (after what seems like an eternity) is found again but father and brother two.

If it had been cut faster and was just over an hour or so it could have been fun madness as it does have some nice visuals, but as it stands it bores to the max.

Started off being weird fun. Ended up being slow, boring, plotless and brain hammering dull.
