just saw that, it was quite funny, but don't you think Dave Grohl should have played the compare?
and no Tribute was a bit of a shame, I think that would have ended the film nicely, as they did do a lead up to it........oh well
dOc
yes def dave grohl should of been in it...
i was so looking forward to the tribute i was ready for it then they didnt even do it...so i walked out singing it instead...

Went to a preview of Miss Potter last night, all about Beatrix Potter, writer of Missy Tiggywinkle etc, with Renee Zellweger as Potter and Ewan McGregor (with a huge moustache) as her fiancé. I'd say it was... nice is probably the best word. Quite sweet in its way, but not something I'd really have gone and paid to see. Ewan's likeable as always, but something about Renee Zellweger always gets on my nerves. I think it's her squinty face.

Watched "Secretary" again last night - such a great film.
We've just had a huge natter about it in the office as nearly everybody watched it. Split the place in two between the "wasn't it cute, romantic and funny" and the "disgusting and really couldn't stomach it at all".
Me ?
I thought (as ever) that it's beautifully done, as subtle in some of it's "play" references as it is obvious for others and actually a great love story that just happens to be told from an alternative viewpoint.
The "turning the spreader bar to fit through doors with reports in hand" still makes me giggle and the fetishising of the red circles is still amazingly sexy for more than one Freudian reason.
Top film.

Just got back from town watching ShortBus. Directed by the guy who did Hedwig.
Totally amazing film but not for the prudish!!! I have never seen so much (real) sex in one film, but the whole story was very moving in parts. Focuses on a sex-councellor who has never had an orgasm herself and goes in search of one, and also a very cute gay couple who are experimenting sexually, whilst one of them who can self-fellate, is all the time compiling his suicide video. Anyway, won't say any more but can HEARTILY recommend :)

Watched a couple of good films on DVD yesterday - Little Miss Sunshine, which was really good - very funny and heart-warming and with some good Sufjan Stevens songs on the soundtrack. I'd never really come across much of his stuff before, but think I might get some of it now. Steve Carrell's really great in the film as the suicidal gay uncle. Those kids beauty pageants are so weird though.
Watched The Station Agent too, which I'd seen before, but like. It's all about three mismatched people who grow close despite everything. It has a bit of an abrupt ending though.

I've always had mixed feelings about drama documentaries but this was excellent - truly gut wrenching. There's undoubtedly a lot of conjecture but it really gave a sense of what it could have been like, more than any straight documentary.

Yes, that's the one! I actually remember seeing an ad for it and seeing the poster and thought it looked shit! But when I heard that a man robbed a turnip in the film it simply had to be mine!
I just bought this Irish film called Adam and Paul on DVD, it was very funny, about two junkies - I swear they had them so accurate, I saw a lot of junkies in my last job!
.....named Adam and Paul?

well went to a preview screening of "Babel" at cineworld on broadstreet with my cousin (as she got free tickets :D).
we were in traffic for about an hour as (we found out after getting home) that the police had found bomb making equipment in Ladbrokes on the strattford road which they had to block off causing loads of traffic on other roads :( so we missed the first 20 minutes or so (which we both hate, but hell it was free anyway :D)
as we walked in, we thought have we got the right screen, as we were confronted by a 20ft Japanese muff :eek: (sorry) but that was odd, but we did have the right screen and sat down.

good night for Ice cream or good film......or both?
saw Smokin' Aces last night........hmmmmm quite funny in places (the lawyer, pretty sure it's the main guy from Arrested Development...but I could be wrong) and the hotel assault is pretty fun, but it takes a long time to get there, plus the ending is pretty bad, it tried to have a big twist but didn't really work.
but with that said it's a pretty good film, Alicia Keys is actually ok in it, her first role, it's good enough just to see Jack from Lost (Mathew Fox) wearing a stupid elvis type wig. good performance's from Ryan Reynolds, and Jeremy Piven as Ace's, plus some funny scenes with "The Tremors" (the gang of three hillbillies) makes it a fun film.
and no, it's not one that you will need to bring your brain to, but if you miss something you'll be lost as to what's going on.......
oh and I should add that Orange Wednesday brings out the morons to the cinema, group of girls behind us, chatted about the film as it was happening, and were eating chips out of the paper.........which was great :( why do people still go to the cinema to F'ing talk?
anyway, an enjoyable but flawed film
oh and they showed a trailer for a film called blood and Chocolate.......they use real snow wolves (or just plain wolves), which can only mean they didn't have any make up budget......looks shite.

Oh I love that film. Especially the bits with William's mum, she's a handful indeed.
Went to a screening last night of Running With Scissors, which was good. It's based (partly or completely, depending on who you ask) on a true story of a teenager in the 70s who's sent to live with his mother's psychiatrist and his extremely dysfunctional family when his parents break up. I'd heard it had had some bad reviews in the States, but I thought it was pretty good. Except for Gwyneth Paltrow - I've never been all that impressed with her acting.

No, but there is a disturbing fart scene!:D Some of the things his security people do are much more unpleasant, of course. The film (Last King of Scotland) doesn't overly dwell on these but we're left in no doubt what he was capable of at his worst. The interesting thing is we see many different aspects to him and Forest Whittaker's portrayal thoroughly deserves the Oscar nomination (and indeed the Oscar).
An excellent film.

It's based on a Somerset Maugham novel about a doctor in 20s Shanghai whose spoiled wife cheats on him, so to punish her he takes a job out in the middle of nowhere dealing with a cholera epidemic, and she's forced to go with him. It's a bit depressing in parts, but looks good and the script's interesting. And you get to see Ed's bum at one point, which is nice. :)

"Antikörper" (Antibodies - 2005)
It's a German film set somewhere deep in the dark heart between the first Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. Over the length of the film it's easily as good as either of them and, as much as it inherits from them, you really will be utterly transfixed for the whole 2hr 30mins run.
It's pretty powerful though, the music and story combine to drag you in and just....not....let....go. Add in children and a serial killer and it's not light.
Oh, and without spoiling things, there's a scene part way through where I actually recoiled from the screen and covered my eyes while whimpering a little "noooo". You'll know the bit.

Based on a true story, the real-life "lad" now works for NASA (there's a lovely what-they're-doing now segemnt at the end).
Oooooh, report back please !!!!
Fantastic, in a word. Mesmerising, compelling, intelligent, and scary. Yes, the parallels with the films you mentioned are there but it's very much it's own film. It's not the gorefest that people might expect and all the better for it.
No doubt it'll resonate more with Catholics and those more familiar with the old testament than me (not forgetting those from PETA!!) but it's one for fans of psychological thrillers.
I'd mixed feelings about the ending but that doesn't detract from it at all. And for those of you wondering where to see it, keep your eyes peeled on late night offerings on Film 4 (if you're in the UK that is).

Jeepers Creepers. I only saw half of it, it seemed to be going from REALLY scary to quite silly. What happens in the second half ie. after the scary bloke jumps on the top of the police car and beheads the coppers?
PM me, I don`t want to spoil it for anyone else. Ta muchly :D

Went to see the new Christopher Guest movie For Your Consideration on Saturday, which I loved! Especially the two entertainment reporters, who were hilarious, especially the way the woman walks, and some of the man's comments! I was a little disappointed that Parker Posey wasn't in it more though, she's one of my favourite actors.

I love that film it is hilarious, as ever.
Saw Breakfast on Pluto the other night with the excellent Cillian Murphy, but actually he kind of dissappointed me a bit in this film as he "weirded" the role up a tiny bit too much I think. I wanted to really like this film, but came away wondereing why I had watched it:confused:
I watched a little of that last night on 5 US and it's really dated! Still a great film, and it still makes me wince when he's humping her wound!
I've seen Crash several times.. I don't remember that scene...! did I see a censored version? or did I just not understand he was "humping her wound"?
anyway, I watched Inland Empire yesterday.
:confused: :eek: :confused: :eek: yeaaaah!
I want to see it again. Lynch is so good at conveying moods and emotions!
I just didn't expect the movie to be THAT experimental!

there are two films called crash, if you're unfortunate* enough you'll order it on boxoffice and get the wrong one! It scarred me for a while!!!

Unknown 5 guys wake up in a warehouse with amnesia, one of them is tied up to a chair, and another is handcuffed to a railing and hanging from his wrist (ouch). it's ok, good while in the warehouse, not so good outside (looks like they did the outside parts with very little effort) the idea was good, but not done well.
re-watched Jumanji on channel 5, I forgot how young Kirsten Dunst looked in it :eek: it's just wrong.....anyway love that film.

yes indeed - there are two films called crash and I think I've written about both in this thread as both are great - but we were talking about the David Cronenburg one.
Is that the one you meant Setsuno?- if so then yes you missed it. The lead character does indeed get it on with Rosanna Arquette's gaping leg wound.
Ouch.
So the new Lynch film is good is it? Might have to trek down the cinema for that one :)
I saw 'Hannibal Rising' lastnight at the cinema. Pretty disappointed tbh! Didn't expect it to be that good though.

"The Science of Sleep".
Michel Gondry is indulging his imagination even more fully than on "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Not always coherently to my mind but it's a fun, if slight, tale of no great consequence.
And Gael Garcia Bernal is the most compelling actor of his generation, in my opinion.

It's ok to see with kids. The little girl with super throwing strength is cute and winsome.
The bf and I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" just for Meryl Streep........ A couple of funny bits, but still..... I deleted it as soon as we finished watching it! I'm glad I didn't pay!
Meryl Streep was great in it but the story is just too stupid and simple (a + b + c = shallow gays and girls are happy + we make money)
Oh, and they re-released Cria Cuervos in France! Finally I could see it on a big screen! so sad...... so touching

Watched "Children of Men" last night and to be honest, before watching it I wasn't really that fussed about it (except that I love Julianne Moore) - however I really enjoyed it - some great sequences in there that all look like they're just one shot (but I'm sure aren't really!)
And I have never seen such good CGI in a film (i.e. the character who joins near the end of the film - without giving it away!) - really really realistic.
"Perfume"
:eek: I'm still in shock... But I loved it!!!!! The story is amazing.
Now I have to get that book... People who have read it told me the movie was nice compared with it.

i think it is a nice movie but i dont like the fact that they are trying too much to give some message it is a cartoon for gods sake

'T was the same here, I wasn't dying to see this film, but went to it, well, actually because one of my friends wanted to see it. It silenced me completely (and that's quite hard to do), really, blew me away. Funny thing is, I don't know why I find it that good. Is it the realistic filming ? The Apocalyptic atmosphere ? I really don't know...:confused:
And JJJ, the last war scene, IS one shot (about 20 minutes)! :eek:

I think I know the scene - amazing stuff and it looks like just one shot, but there's blood on the camera that suddenly dissappears which made me think they'd cheated it - they could have put it in in post I guess - amazing scene all the same!

Yep, it's THAT scene! Maybe the blood was added digitally afterwards, to make it look even more realistic..I'm not sure. All I know is that it was one shot (I read that a couple of times in different magazines, so I guess it's true :p)

The film was alright but nothing special, it dragged a bit too much.
I think there just wasn't enough Mia Kirshner in it for my liking.
Rocky Horror last night *lovelovelove*
Makes for quite scary viewing doesn't it?
well it is scary ...because we all know that Mr Bush is still running the show! perhaps his war should be against his own stupididty not various nations in the middle east?
i still think it'll all tip into the next overdue ice age - but that still doesn't give us the right to exploit the planet without giving a fuck about it. bollocks to industry and capitalism and all those ism's and what really pisses me off is that although we know all this shit is gonna happen people won't change because they can't give up their so called standard of living... me i'm dumping the auxilliary deisel engine in my sailing boat... i'm not connected to the grid and i'm largely self sufficient - oh and i don't have a car just a mountain bike... so i'm doing my bit the best i can - back to the Palaeolithic i say ... of course in order to make that work........
we need to reduce the population massively..although it seems that nature will probably do this for us...

Yeah you could be right - I found it extremely scary to hear that the conveyor belt that carries warm water to our shores actually stopped for about 3 days last year. If it stops for good then we are definately in an ice age :(

I reads that book about 4 times when I was a kid and cried every time!
There were loads of 8, 9, 10 year olds around me....sniffling. I thought "OMG I'm going to cry aswell in a minute" :o
