The Malteze Falcon (Bogie/Astor version naturally)

"I never trust a man who says 'when'" Mr Gutman
 
The Island, pretty enjoyable stylish no brainer with lots of big bangs and cool special effects. The chase on the freeway with all the train axles being flung through peoples windscreens has some great 5.1 effects. :D
 
The Devil's Backbone..

been wanting to see this for ages, and did enjoy it a lot (although perhaps not as much as i expected). Odd little film, as Pie Face said, felt like a fable of some kind. But brilliantly atmospheric and creepy
 
Bad Santa - very disappointing for Terry Zwigoff - not very funny and a complete mess - has the Weinsteins' meddling hands all over it no doubt.
 
Serenity. I found Firefly somewhat overrated and the same holds true for the film. It's watchable enough, but the new Battlestar Galactica wipes the floor with this.
 
we tried to watch King Kong and found it really slow so switched it off in the middle of the film, it's sort of self-parodying because the original film maker was suspending belief when he invented king Kong. blah de blah

before that we watched Aeon Flux and both enjoyed it, the director doesn't bother to explain obvious plot.

i thought it was great, but the sweaty hands of Weinstein can be seen in the tacked on subplot involving the store detective.

And I want to wipe my willy on the sharon/boomer cylon.

Ordered my US season 2 from Amazon. Last season one ep was a corker. Killing, pregnant robots and a million naked boomers.

BY YOUR COMMAND!
 
I started to watch Fahrenheit 9/11. I'm very late with this one and didn't expect to be surprised by anything but was actually a bit kind of:
:O<--- that's a mouth open wide BTW. I think it was Bush's reactions to things facial expression wise that got me the most.
 
Watched Dead Mans Shoes the other night. Nice juxtaposition of english countryside and people dying rather brutally, some pretty dark plot develpments as well. Very good film all in all I thought.

yeah, I'd agree with that. I watched it on the sunday night after unsound as well which probably wasn't the wisest idea.

Watched this last night. I think it was the scariest film I've seen. Too real and too scarey. Although a good movie, I could have lived without seeing it. A flim it reminded me of was a small movie made on the cheap called The Plague. Not perfect but worth a watch.

I watched Enduring Love.

It's a fantastic book but the film was okay *ish*. It was hard to say how good the film was as I kept thinking about the book.

I've seen Dead Man's Shoes twice now and it's in the queue for another viewing - does this make me a sicko?
nah... just a film-o-phile. ;)

I agree with hat. I did try a second watch to see the reaction of my Mrs but it was too uncomfortable so I left her to it.

Before Xmas when I was sporting the unshaven look someone told me I looked like the Paddy Considine character too, so off went the beard.
 
Yokai Daisenso.

I have been waiting for this forever, a new Miike film.

Sadly it was a bit boring and only had a few Miike moments, quite harsh for a kids film.

Also the typical trademark 'what the fuck was that' Miike ending seemed a little forced.

Hopefuly this is just bad as it's a kids film, Andoromedia his other kids film was a piece of shit.
 
Someone showed me the first series of Black Books lately - ended up watching the whole dvd set from beginning to end.
:cool:
's good that innit supes.
 
I watched the end of the King Kong DVD and Naomi Watts was amazing , she basically saved the film, and she did this through her actions and facial expressions not through the script, she should have been nominated for best actress.

:(
