finally got round to Night Watch.
very good, although a bit of a mess. Visually amazing, really inventive, dead exciting. The plot seemed to be all over the place (as did the pacing) although a quick browse seems to suggest this is because the international re-cut left out lots of important stuff, added stuff from later books in the series etc.
Now wondering if i should watch the Russian version (got a doublepack) - anyone bothered?

Was yours dubbed then?
I saw the subtitled version but not the one with animated subtitles, which apparently are wicked

mine was the "international version" - the one with the clever subs (absolutely brilliant, never seen this done before).
this is a shorter, allegedly easier to follow version than either the Russian (and thus subtitled) one or the dubbed English language one. However, it seems in making it 'easier', in some ways it becomes more complicated because some shortcuts detract from the meaning.
the discrepancies between the versions AND THEN with the books themselves add up to a fucking mess, by the look of it.

right enjoyed it too, like a modern fairytale !
Not that I have seen it myself, but I think this must be the first positive thing I have ever seen anybody write about this movie. The world seemed briefly united in it's scorn for it when it first came out!
Mind you, I have not watched anything he has done since Dead Bruce Willis.
Last night, I watched:
Brick
I think I really, really liked it, but I will need to watch it again to make sure. I am pretty sure I missed a few details, mostly due to the dialogue being a little dense and hard to follow in places.....occasional odd slang didn't help either. Still - well worth a watch for those that haven't seen it.

I started watching that the other day and found it rather boring, so switched over to something else - just couldn't get into it

It is perhaps a little dry and dull to start with and like I said, the slang and colloquialisms as well as the density of the dialogue made it hard to follow in places for me, but it did just enough to intrigue me and hold my interest in the first 15-20 minutes and IMHO just got better and better from then on in - perhaps worth another go.

I like the main actor, something Gordon Leavitt I think - he was excellent in Mysterious Skin

Children of Men - liked it quite a lot. Me and me mate nearly burst out crying at the same time at one point, but hid it so we wouldn't look wusses in front of each other - confessed later on 
Bound - lesbian corn-fest, one sex scene and plenty of funny lines, lots of guns

such a weird film, that. so kinda low-budget and hammy, and yet it sort of works.
sojourner said:Yep - one scene really worked for me - the paint sceneLots of little funny good touches though
it is very sexy, but as a reconstructed male i feel uncomfortable admitting that
Reno
The In Kraut
Night of the Eagle Excellent British supernatural thriller from the early 60's about a professor who finds out that his wife has been practising witchcraft to protect him from evil forces. He gets her to burn all her protective spells and the shit hits the fan.
Bigger Than Life. 50's melodrama starring James Mason as a father who becomes psychotic as a result of prescription drugs.
Most of Celine and Julie Go Boating, but didn't make it to the end as it's over three hours long and I was tired.
