Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - and I quite enjoyed it. :oops:

(I am a deep person usually, honest)

In that case young krs, I think you're really going to get a shock when you watch 'Requiem For A Dream'... :eek: ;)

(Will drop it 'round at some point this week. :) )

:eek:

you weren't wrong about jc...

great film on all counts, i reckon. left me breathless.
 
Tie me Up Tie me Down - Classic Almodovar, just brilliant.

Prisoner of Azkaban - Much better than the first two.

The Human Stain - Dross.
 
Collateral.
I love Michael Mann films for the way they look more than anything - he a master cinematographer- and this was no exception, it was visually stunning.
I was however, rather disapointed with the story. IMO it's one of his weakest films so far.
 
Princess Mononoke

An everyday story of boy meets girl, except this girl thinks she's a wolf. The boy hero of this animated epic becomes cursed after slaying a demon and is doomed to die unless he can find and resolve the source of the curse. His quest leads to his involvement in a fierce, elemental battle between a matriarch whose community produces iron and the creatures from the forest she is gradually destroying. His fate is inextricably tied up with the forest's pwerful spirit, whose intervention is the only thing that can save his life and bring him and the wolf-girl together.
 
it has some very nice elements to it... i do like his exceptance of his fate of death and his posible cure being fairly secondary to the balancing of the world

I like the film's deliberate avoidance of blame. Its characters are not polarised as either wholly good or wholly evil in the conventional way. Even the matriarch destroying the forest does so in order to provide for her colony of outcasts.
 
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind.

Confusing. Didn't think it was a bad film but wouldn't be bothered watching it again. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone either. Maybe it is a bad film then :confused:

I quite enjoyed it but I think it would have been better without Tom Cruise in. He's not convincing as a hard nosed killer.
 
I've been working my way through the Big Train DVD and finished watching series one last night. Bloody hilarious in places.

Also recently seen Collateral (decent but overrated thriller) and Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (the funniest film I've seen in years - buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy!!!) :D
 
Eddie Izzard - The Definite Article finished downloading this afternoon so I've just been treated to nearly two hours of sheer comedy genious :D He managed to fit the word "jam" in at least 15 times, it's one of his trademarks, don't ask me why!

Best standup comedian alive IMO.

(And feel free to visit my Eddie Izzard rocks! thread :) )
