the latest Rambo film. ugh. awful. high body count though.

but that's what it's all about(y)

last night: Dawn Of The Dead (original)

I think the bodycount is more than the new Rambo but I'm not gonna sit there and take notes could that would be a bit nerdy

Nerd up, yo.

Dawn of the Dead: 175

i wanted to enjoy this movie... but daft punk made it really hard. it had a pretty cool soundtrack and was filmed well... but who wants to watch a robot walk in a desert for 20 minutes?

its strange..some of the visuals are stunning..but my christ does it need an editor. It could have been a really cool 20/30 minute film...but it just goes on and on and on in bits. Again, great idea, great "story", great visuals...but very bad choices on the editing.

American Gangster

[abcdefz]

Bottle Shock

Mostly for Alan Rickman, who was all right.

The movie was better than it had any right to be, and one genuine, unconventional surprise that it later turned its back on. Booooooooo.

7/10.



Inland Empire.

One of two Lynch movies I haven't made it through. It was pretty nifty when an actual plot kicked in about 15 minutes in, but then it
seeemed to abandon it later and I lost interest.

I understand the whole "dream state" thing, but the fact is, a person's dreams are usually pretty boring to other people.





A Little Princess.

I hadn't seen anything of Alfonso Cuarón's before Great Expectations, and this guy's currently on my must-see list when anything
new comes out. I didn't get much out of this (or Great Expectations), so I'm glad that whatever happened happened so that
Y tu mamá también could really kick start his career.

[saz]

i'm not there was utterly brilliant, masterful filmmaking. arguably the greatest performance of blanchett's career. in fact the entire cast was fantastic. bought the dvd.

vantage point was nothing more than generic action fodder. entertaining though.

jumper is something i still can't believe i watched. horrific cheese.

Yeah..probably one of the most frustrating things about INLAND EMPIRE is that it flirts with what is a pretty cool premise...then kind of abandons it, or at least loses it amongst all the other stuff.

Still, its more or less a riff on the same premise from Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway....

Like he did with Twin Peaks. The show is one of the best ever made but it could've been better if the end hadn't been so fucked up.

[roosta]

Like he did with Twin Peaks. The show is one of the best ever made but it could've been better if the end hadn't been so fucked up.

I have to disagree with the comparison. Twin Peaks certainly lost some of its drive as it went on, but it was still a damn fine TV show. And most importantly it lost its way when Lynch became less involved. AND the end of Twin Peaks was pretty redemptive if you ask me...the Wyndom Earle storyline restored some of its past glory and the final episode was a classic.

[mate_spawn_die]

i like lynch.... but inland empire was boring shit. i couldn't even finish the thing. maybe one day i will try it again... but not anytime soon.

agreed. earle was incredible, played brilliantly by kenneth welsh. that whole story arc, including the white and black lodges, really gave the show a much needed shot in the arm. there was going to be a third season but unfortunately abc had other plans.

Sure it was a great show. I agree and also said that. But the end could've been perfect if they hadn't rushed the things up. Like we don't know what happened with the most part of the characters. They were simply forgotten.
But the story around Earle, the lodge and Cooper was really great (and sometimes pretty scary).

[roosta]

yup. And Lynch had agreed to come back on board and had renewed his passion for the show...it could have been so good....they had set up what could have been a great 3rd series...

In Bruges

Disappointing. The "comedy" was completely out of place in what was otherwise an interesting and dark film. Yet the "im a cheeky lovable controversial chappy" Colin Farrell bits were a serious piece of poor judgement, and left the film muddled and confused.

the film was marketed as being much more of a comedy, when its actually quite dark. It had its moments, but overall A missed opportunity.

Hearts of Darkness, the Apocalypse Now documentary.

Still good stuff. Now I'm ready to watch it with the commentary and hear Francis defending himself. :rolleyes:

Francis and Eleanor recorded their commentaries separately, which seems odd. I think they're still married, aren't they?

Harold and Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo....:o

I watched about half of The Bridge, a documentary about jumpers from the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was okay, but I'm a little disconnected because I feel a huge amount of sympathy for people who want to kill themselves, and I don't
understand the grief about it. It seems selfish to me that survivors would be angry or even very sad about it when clearly these folks
have been in huge emotional pain for pretty much their entire lives.

I have watched three this week so....(R) = rewatch.

(R) Punch-Drunk Love -- 5/5

One of my favourite ever films.

(R) Man on the Moon -- 4/5

Hell Boy 2 -- 2/5

I haven't seen the first one but this is a pretty dull affair. The CGI is impressive (obviously similar to the awesome Pan's Labryinth) but the acting is poor.

I think part of the problem for me is that I don't find Ethan complex -- just unreasonable and unlikeable. And yet most of the other
actors themselves weren't very good. (This is how I remember it, anyway.)

I need to see it again, though. Maybe my expectations were way out of line. I think it's Scorsese's favorite movie, which maybe is
part of why I had such disproportionate hopes for it.

For me -- I'll take Unforgiven any day.

Reasonable, but I disagree about the quality of acting. There's a fair amount of depth to the cast and there's a logical explanation as to why Ethan is the way he is. Fuck it, I don't need to sell the movie.:D

I love that movie. The series McCloud was based on that movie. Plus Clint was gorgeous back then.


This weekend I rented:

Patton (not as good as I remembered from seeing it in my childhood but it made me nostalgic for my dad and my best friend's dad who were both fans of the movie)

Once (I liked it even though it was flimsy and not my kind of movie)

[roosta]

The Wackness

It was pretty good. A tad over-sentimental at times, but overall well played. The main actors were great and I genuinely felt sympathy for their characters.

Then Luke gets his heart broken I wanted to smash the other dudes face in, mainly cause he was a slimy cunt.

Its set in New York in 1994 so the soundtrack is great also (Nas/Wu/Biggie/Tribe etc.)

In the last couple days I've watched Knocked Up and Superbad for the first time. They are what they are, and you can pretty much take them or leave them. I loved 40 Year Old Virgin, it's probably one of my favourite comedies, so I was kinda disappointed cuz I felt they didn't quite match up. Still hilarious movies though, the first films that have made me laugh out loud for a while. And Seth Rogen is a legend, I would love to have a beer with that guy. I think he's an underrated great of imrpov comedy.

Now I just need to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I've pretty much got the whole Apatow set. I think I'll get a torrent now. (y)

I watched “Shinobi: Heart Under Blade” this weekend….great martial arts based flick…kinda like “Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon” but in a Japanese style…If you like your ninja’s,hidden warrior villages,super powers and tragic romance this is one for you…looks great,trick stuff…(y)

batman begins: i enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would. it doesn't feel like it goes on too long, like the dark knight does. i liked the hallucinogenic scary stuff. very clever.
get smart: took my son and his friend to see this today. i laughed a lot--probably more than i would do if i was paying full price and a babysitter. definitely a dvd kind of movie. i like anne hathaway. steve carrell is good too. but i don't think that's news.

the wackness.

i thought it was going to be a generic coming of age sort of movie that was only notable for its 90's setting and shit hot soundtrack but not so.

i thought it was entirely charming and good performances all round. lots of laughs that i didn't expect. my friend i went with saw it first at the edinburgh film festival and thought (sir) ben kingsley was hamming it up a bit at first viewing but not so much on the second.

the main dude, also. i liked him. i found the way he spoke extremely attractive. or maybe it was just the way he moved his mouth. my friend said he had a really bad underbite (er, this has nothing to do with the movie.. totally superficial) and looked a bit cavemanesque. haha. anyway, i thought his performance was great and understated and quite touching.

4/5 stars. if we're rating out of 5. which i am.

It was.....OK. The trailer looked quite intriguing so I went along despite having reservations about any modern horror, but for the most part it was interesting/tense enough but it lacked.....something I can't quite put my finger on. It's well made but it seemed formulaic, some bits were direct rip offs from Halloween. Thematically too it owed alot to Halloween, but overall it missed the mark and seemed kind of shallow.

I Loved that Movie: They took a mediocre home invasion movie and kicked it up a level.

Last night I watched about three movies:

Jersey Girl
Ocean's Twelve
Spider-Man 3


Can't decide which one is the best of the three, but I have an affinity for Spider-Man movies so I enjoyed that one the most even though it was 3am when it was over.

I don't understand why Jersey Girl has such a bad reputation.

Could go either way, but if you believe (like I do) that the film is incredibly prescient, you have to accept that epilogue as reality.

king kong. what a steaming pile of shite. :(


the Peter Jackson version?

I watched that last night...I missed the first hour so just before you see Kong.

yeah,a bit over the top with the CGI.totally unrealistic,especially the dinosaur stampede bit.

[na§tee]

haha.. i saw that last night, too. i can't believe it has been 3 years since it came out in the cinema.

update: the scotsmen still have some tartan on. yip.

Unfocused and waaaaaaaayyy too long.

it's like they said to peter jackson, "here's 300 gazillion dollars. do what you want, put in as many horror scenes as you like, make it over 3 hours long, get lost in your own intestines."

pj, you did well to miss half the movie, altho i think it might have been the better half.

na§tee, i could only do it in two halves. even then, very painful.

religulous debut screening premiere at the toronto film festival.

i was a few feet away from maher on the red carpet and he's a lot taller or bigger in person. it was kind of funny though, as there were a few religious protestors on hand, who were in fact not very enthusiastic and gave only a handful of uninspired, half assed chants. anyways, there was a brief intro by bill and director larry charles, then a q&a session afterwards. the movie itself was amazing, funny as hell. there are so many hysterical moments and the gags don't stop. a great night and a lot of fun.

I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last night and I cried at the end.

yeah i love that film too. special shout out for the cat.

i watched être et avoir tonight. what a darling little film. or documentary, i should say. i want a french child so bad. french men? care to procreate? no? oh well. anyway, it is so heartening and i think every teacher/teaching student should be made to see this film. the teacher is so patient and kind hearted. and the kids are just gorgeous. i love jojo. i want to adopt him. some hilarious bits of real life mischief. brazilliant (y)

Busty Backdoor Nurses 5: The Drip of Love

Visionary direction and the acting was sublime. Great use of sets and a nuanced plot so unflinching it put Taxi Driver to shame. A must for any self-respecting film buff's collection. If you only see one film this year, make it this one.

A+

[camo]

I much prefer the flow and juxtaposition of Busty Backdoor Nurses 3: Internal Foreign Objects.

I felt the character interaction had a deeper meaning and found myself more emotionally attached to the lead.

[Lex Diamonds]

I think the post-Bush administration subtext to TDOL just edges the 9/11-era paranoia prevalent in IFO.

Plus the double anal penetration scene is brutal. (y)

[camo]

I think the way IFO handled the 9/11-era caused a pattern of deception that has not only fed diffuse public cynicism but has provided an opening for alternate theories of 9/11 to flourish. Theories of a both lubricant and 'doubled teamed' assault have recently seen the light and as of yet have not been proven false.

It was limp to me...I'd of rather sat through Fast Times or Dazed and Confused one more time...that little whiny fat fuck was just unbearable to me...I enjoyed Knocked Up though...and I had no interest in seeing that...:rolleyes:

[Lex Diamonds]

I think Jonah Hill's a genius, I've got a lot of time for the Apatow/Rogen crowd. Maybe you'll like Pineapple Express, it's more of a legitimate good movie than their previous efforts, and if you liked Knocked Up chances are you find Seth Rogen funny. He's funny as balls in this movie. (y)

Pretty Woman.

"penelope"

I really really hate christina ricci's voice sometimes. james mcavoy made me melt regardless.

that viewing led me to revisit "becoming jane" once again for another hit of james.
I am such a fucking sucker for that movie. made me cry again and it's my 3rd viewing.

[Dorothy Wood]

The Fall.

it's by the guy who did The Cell. ehhhh, it was okay. it kind of reminded me of pan's labyrinth lite. (and I was disappointed by pan's labyrinth anyway).

Lee Pace is handsome as can be, and the little girl in it is very cute and a non-actor, but pulls off her part fantastically.

all in all, I found the fantasy sequences far less interesting than the main storyline. and ugly, sort of tacky and not framed well. although there are a couple pretty interesting things to look at...but then even those got cheesified. like this thing: http://horsesthink.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/tarsem-the-fall-stills-07.jpg it looks pretty awesome, but then there's a weird editing thing at the end of the scene here the camera jumps back and zooms out and the guy's yelling echos. really cheesy and ruins the whole scene. strange because the main storyline is really great-looking and acted well. but even that was weird because I didn't really understand the motivations of the characters. meh.

oof, lee pace. so attractive though, and talented. my goodness.

I'm Not There

Erm...it was..interesting! I knew it was never going to be a conventional biopic, but I didn't know just how unconventional they had done it. I know next to nothing about Bob Dylan so I was kind of lost for some of it, but at the same time you really got a feel for the different parts of Dylan through the different actors/scenarios.. I enjoyed it, it was fascinating if anything.

Gonna check out some Bob Dylan albums now.

Less Than Zero

Just to once again remind me of how much better the book is.

[Yeti]

Less Than Zero

My wife sat beside Jaime Gertz at a wedding. My wife was chatting it up to a lady next to her and then elbowed me to introduce me. The funny thing is that my wife still really has no idea who she is and what Less Than Zero is and when she hears Lost Boys thinks of Tinkerbell not some movie with Corey Haim.

The last film that I watched was on BBC America last night. It was called the Human Camera. It was about an artist named Steven Wiltshire. He is an autistic savant and sketches detailed buildings from memory. He took a 15 minute helicopter ride with no camera or notepad. Then he went and sketched a perfect large scale panorama on London. It was a very good documentary.
Check this link out.

I also saw a very sad yet unbelieveable documentary on the National Georgraphic channel. It was called Solo: Lost at Sea. It is about a man that tried to kayak from Australia to New Zealand.

this film is not yet rated is a fascinating and very fun documentary, exposing the motion picture association of america's rating system, which is really nothing more than a form of censorship involving homophobia and other reactionary elements.
