his girl friday. smashing - some of the fastest dialogue i ever heard... cary grant really is something, ain't he?

tonight - rashomon, or possibly stray dog - i got a box set of kurusawa movies to plough through...
 
"Sin City". Brilliant and hilarious (Clive Owen as a hard-bitten American anti-hero is inspired casting IMHO!), but could have done without all the genital-mutilation bits. It took me an hour to uncross my legs afterwards! :eek:
 
The Negotiator
It ok. Spacey is good and Samuel L is just the same as always

Chicago's two top negotiators must face each other. One of them is holding hostages. The other is demanding surrender.
Plot Outline: In a desperate attempt to prove his innocence, a skilled police negotiator accused of corruption and murder takes hostages in a government office to gain the time he needs to find the truth.
 
Super Size Me

Bloke goes on a 30-day McDonalds binge to piss off his vegan girlfriend, enlisting the help of various health professionals to monitor the effects on his health. Sugar addiction and leaking liver enzymes ensue. Amusing and informative too. Texas is the fattest state of the US, for example, where up to 60% of inhabitants are clinically obese, and nationally spending on diabetes has doubled since 1997.
 
I do not have a dvd player and will not be buying one, but wanted to see Sideways. Sandra Oh is Canadian and has acted in many movies here.
 
Just finished watching 'Adam's Rib' on BBC2 (so, not on my DVD player then...). What a great film! :cool:

Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn were great together. Quite amazing ideas about equality between men and women condering it was made in 1949... And 'Vive la difference!' too. :D
 
Sandra Oh is great in Last Night, which is one of my favourite ever movies.

coincidentally, i bought Sideways last night, and a 3 for 20 quid deal on Das Boot, The Producers and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind :)

Requiem For A Dream and Little Women. But I missed the end of Little Women, I was on the phone.

Helpful dvd watching tips #12458. There is a pause button :)

I watched Easyrider at the w/e. Had forgotten just how brilliant it is. What a soundtrack!

Ni, Ni, Indians! :D
 
Bang Rajan

Excellent film about Thai villagers (from the village of Bang Rajan) fighting off the Burmese. Brutal and tragic, but so good I watched it twice
 
Watched Dark Water on friday night. I think the ms had hyped it too much or i was too drunk as i didnt find it that scary.
 
Watched the Manchurine candidate *not how you spell it* must admit

im a big fan of Denzil Washington good film a little far fetched would recomend it
 
I watched ROTS as I mentioned on the 'on this thread we've seen it' thread...

Good copy. Am quite tempted to stick it on again right now and write a 'RD's indepth analysis' to stick on the thread. (never written a post like that before)
 
Osama

Osama, the first film out of post-taliban Afghanistan.

Saw this on Saturday.

Beautiful cinematography and horrifying insight into a world very different from ours.

If you like that I also recommend 'Five in the Afternoon', which was made by the same director as 'Blackboards' (from Iran) but set in post-Taliban Afghanistan. A more subtle film that Osama, and probably a bit better all round

Tis now added to my "gotta see" list.
 
watched Sin City last night: looked fantastic but overall i thought it was pretty disappointing. and what the fuck was Clive Owen up to with that accent?


however, i've just taken delivery of the special edition of the Wattstax DVD. and that's anything but disappointing. it's fucking stunning. especially Isaac Haye's entrance :)
