watched silent hill last night, wish i hadn't bothered. If I'd known sean bean was in it i wouldn't have. HE CAN'T ACT!!
The Nameless... very good, spanish, directed by Jaume Balagueró
The IMDB: Sin nombre, Los (1999)
The mutilated body of a six year old girl is found in a water hole. The girl is identified as the missing daughter of Claudia. However, only two peices of evidence could be used to identify her; a bracelet with her name on it near the crime scene, and the fact that her right leg was three inches longer than her left. All other methods of identification were removed from her body. Five years later Claudia, now addicted to tranquilizers, receives a phone call from someone claiming to be her daughter, asking for her mother to come find her before 'they' kill her. Other mysterious clues show up, further indicating that Claudia's daughter is indeed still alive, and very much in danger. Claudia, a run-down ex-cop, and a parapsychology reporter put together the clues to discover Angela's whereabouts.
Do they find her in time...well, you will have to watch the film.. LOL
very good, I liked the Spanish approach to photography, the slow pan shots, the hold on the close up of the faces while the questions are being asked...

What happened to Dubversion ?
two episodes of Lucky louie sitcom from HBO and an episode of Clerks
got a big pile to work through of recent rips / rents - Toto The Hero (my favourite movie), Milagro Beanfield War, Tokyo Drifter, Slums of Beverley Hills..
Reno
The In Kraut
Apocalypto, which was silly and rather pointless. Mel Gibson only concentrates on the most lurid aspects of Mayan culture and ignores what was amazing about it. Mayans are shown to be savages rather than a highly evolved civilization. According to anthropologists and historians much of it is incorrect (surprise surprise 
). Gibson is obsessed with torture and violence and lovingly lingers on any mutilation and wound inflicted. More a Cannibal Holocaust for the noughties than the historical epic he had in mind.

Walk the Line....pretty good as it goes. Great soundtrack and stella performances from the two lead characters.
watched Slums of Beverly Hill.. such a cool little movie
Watched Borat the other night. Funny. Seriously, seriously funny.
Baron Cohen is a genius.

The Milagro Beanfield War..
lovely film, pure hokum really, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Somehow - for all its New Mexican trimmings, it reminded me of some 40s or 50s British film about 'little people' seeing off the baddies..

CSA: The Confederate States of America. Rather good, bitingly satirical and slightly alarming when you realise that all the unbelievably racist products shown in the mock adverts - Sambo Axle Grease, f'rinstance - actually existed. But I can't agree with some of the director's choices for the alternate history, particularly when he gets to the 60s and beyond. It just seems rather odd that he has a fictionalised President from a Kennedyesque dynasty being assassinated, then has Kennedy elected, then has him assassinated too. The first assassination was obviously meant to echo the real-world assassination, so why bother bringing Kennedy into it?

Not really looked at this thread before, but it seems good.
Don't hire many DVDs so unlikely to participate much, but in the last month I have seen on DVD:
Amelie
South Pacific (only part)
Salzburg Sight and Sound (short documentary)
M
I enjoyed Amelie but, as with lots of films, everyone said how great it is and when I finally watched it, I was disappointed that it wasn't better.
The last time I saw South Pacific, I remember the colour scheme being too offputting, but this looked excellent. And the songs in the part that I saw (Bloody Mary, There Is Nothing Like a Dame, Happy Talk, Some Enchanted Evening, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair, Bali Ha'i) were extremely enjoyable too.
The documentary, made at the time of The Sound of Music, was alright.
First time I had seen M and it was excellent.

Litte Fish - I thought this was excellent - Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving give astounding performances (Weaving especially is a surprise after his hammy Agent Smith and Elrond acts).
I loved the way the film worked - not all is explained and you have to join the dots yourself a lot of the time IYKWIM

I watched 28 Days Later the other night.
The beginning was fantastic, the scenes of London, full of rubbish and abandoned, were really cool. It did flake a bit towards the end, especially all the rape stuff - that particular thread in the story I found inconsistent.
Still - good watch methinks + the opening track "East Hastings" by Godspeed... was wicked

Never knowingly heard them before I think - though they were pompous art rock so never bothered to check them out - like the music in 28 Days Later though
