a couple i know insisted i borrow Zoolander, so i did and i watched it last night..
it.. erm.. wasn't bad
didn't make me laugh out loud more than once or twice, but it was pretty funny and pretty clever.
i was going to watch my DVD of Last Picture Show, but i'm going to watch it at the NFT tomorrow night.

'the royal tenenbaums' - thought it was a bit like a lighter, primary colours 'hotel new hampshire', enjoyed it. wtf is that peter bradley thing about though?
Dirty Martini
gets what he cant want
What I watched over Xmas and NY:
Shaun of the Dead
Capturing the Friedmans (great)
Open Water (unbelievably bad)
Grand Theft Parsons (slight but fun)
Politics (is there a less engaging comedian than Ricky Gervais? The Office is great of course, but I'd run a mile from the man)

just watched defence of the realm, a tightly-bound journo-spook film, sort of a british 'parallax view', close in tone to 'shoot to kill' and touching on similar political intrigues as 'edge of darkness'.
scripted by martin spellman, who also had a hand in writing 'quadrophenia', brixton sounds movie 'babylon', and early denzel washington starrer 'for queen and country'; pretty good direction from david drury, who seems to have spent his time since stuck in television, which is a shame.
good performances from denholm elliott as a washed-up fleet street hack, and gabriel byrne is excellent as the younger newshound sniffing out a scoop but getting more than he wished for.
now toying with the idea of an 11 hour george smiley marathon: 'tinker, tailor, soldier, spy' and 'smiley's people'...

DAWN of the DEAD (2004 remake) - much better than the original whilst keeping the black humour of the original

I saw 21 Grams yesterday. What utter pap! I suppose I should have guessed as it starred Sean Penn but I was fooled by the presence of Benicio Del Toro. Never again.

finished off 'smiley's people' - definitely not as good as 'tinker', and it got strangely less satisfying as it went on, which is peculiar as i really enjoyied the book and the way it had smiley gathering together his team of old hands - that aspect just didn't hold together.
beryl reid was superlative as connie though.
also squeezed in 'manhunter'.

Its sunny somewhere.
Spiderman 2. Some classic comic moments in that, but overall weaker than the 1st one.
Motorcycle Diaries, interesting. Very beautiful shots, but I think it could have been tighter and more focused on Guvara. Interesting, but not quite the classic I thought it would be, never really held my attention.
Spirited away for the 2nd time. Don't usually watch films twice but this is so stunning that its always got replay value.
Harry Potter blah, ok but defo not as good as the last two, which I thought were excellent.
I think I am all watched out, but there are a few more that are on the list I'd like to see... I Robot, Chronicles of Riddick are two that I might watch.
Gonna watch Down By Law again. 'I scream, you scream.....'

Aa! Megami-Sama (Ah! My Goddess) the new TV series .... I'm a big fan of the manga OVA and movie so i was really looking forward to this with a mixture of hope and dread but i am glad to say i really liked it the style of the anime really cathes the feel of the manga and all the voice actors are back it was really good to hear the trade mark "Ara Ara" of Inoue Kikuko

Seriously though, do you watch anything other than Japanese cartoons? Your obsession is admirable if a little scary

i do watch a lot of other stuff i just happen to find most anime to be well writen and animated beautifully as well as being excently voiced by talented seiyuu therfore it is my entertainment medium of choice...
though that being said i am watching the jerry springer opera right now (had to download it as i missed it when it was on tv) and the tap dancing klan members are remarkably fun to watch
