American Splendour. Great film about a filing clerk who develops a comic book character simply based around himself and his life. Thought it was quite a well filum, but nobody in chat had heard of it. Anyway, it were good.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
'pirates of the caribbean' - and tbh i can't see what all the fuss was about. johnny depp aside, everything was done better (imo) in 'the crimson pirate' - the plot, the tone, the gags...

Nonsense, its a cracking film. One of the best swashbuckling/fun/adventure films since the Indy movies.
Even the bit when they nick the ship is virtually worth seeing the film for by itself
"That is without a doubt the best pirate I have ever seen..."

have you actually seen 'the crimson pirate'?
hi purves..yes i love american splendour and the "real life" comix of harvey pekar and quite a few other folx..some of harveys comix are a bit dated tho..another more obscure similiar film to look out for (which came out about 10 years ago)is "american job" it stars fanzine writer randy russell..randy just sort of explores low wage slavery thru his various ridiculously awful jobs..its a funny film but makes its points..it was great to see him make it to the indy film screen 
ps..i love these guys cos they were pioneers of self-publishing/fanzines..
pss.."crumb" is a very interesting/unusual film even if you dont like his comix(i dont but love his wifes stuff!)the director of crumb went on to make "ghost world" and "bad santa"

Just watched Miike Takashi's "The Happiness Of The Katakuris"
Um, kind of like 'The sound of music', but set in Japan. With zombies. And volcanoes.

The Station Agent - simple story, great characters, a film that just bubbles along making you smile. A great example of how less $$$$$ can make a better movie.

Quaint, bittersweet 1980s coming-of-age movie from Sweden, as seen through the eyes of a young boy with a terminally ill mother. Poles apart from the self-consciously cool American brat pack movies of the same era. Sad and touching, with some lighter moments and plenty of interesting characters.
Recommended for: A quiet night in with someone you love.

That's a funny film.
Last night I watched 'Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal'. Appallingly bad. Marilyn-Manson-like rockstar lands hijacked plane.

If you haven't seen it and want something with depth try out BUS174.
Tragic documentary about a Brazilian street kid hijacking a bus in Rio. Its goes into the life of the street kid and what brought him to do what he did, the attitude of the city folk towards them, the inadequacy of the Police force.
Its got recorded footage of the hijacking, 1-2-1 interviews with the police, the street kids he hung around with, the conditions they lived in both inside and out of prison, etc. F8cking brilliant (though harrowing)!

The Fog Of War - fanstastic Errol Morric doc on Robert McNamara, who was Defence (or Defense) Secretary during the Vietnam War - McNamara is chillingly honest and very articulate. He certainly puts across his case very well.
