I watched The Fountain last night. I dunno, I'm trying hard to like it because I adore Rachel Weisz but the storyline was a bit over the top.
Yes, you do have to suspend your disbelief somewhat - but I loved it!
Last watched "The Break Up"
What a crock.
I watched Casino Royale and Day Watch at the Punk tent at Leeds.
Casino Royale was great, and Day Watch was pretty to look at (very matrix-y) but confusing as fuck.
Turns out, it's a sequel! No wonder! And the female lead was like a russian clone of Uma Thurman.

You saw Day Watch?
Ooooooh, very envious! It's the sequel to Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor) and I loved that!
I've got 'em in the wrong order. I'll be watching the first knowing full well how it ends up.

I watched the messengers on Friday night... what the HELL was that about, it was awful!! It was good for jumpy bits here and there and it started off with good potential but in the end it was just shit... there's no other word for it!
Luckily I watched Flight of the Navigator on sunday and that evened out the fold, god that's an excellent timeless film! haha! I love it.

My excuse is that I want to check if it still ends happily, lol.
Back in the day I was so obsessed with it that a) the videocassette didn't work anymore and b) the soundtrack appeared underneath my Christmastree, bless.

Oh dear God! :p I grew up with four female cousins who each went through a Grease phase. I don't think I've ever seen it all the way through, but I've seen so many bits and pieces that I bet I have the majority of the film burned into my memory.
Then they each went through a Dirty Dancing phase, a Footloose phase.. thank God I haven't seen them in the last year, they're probably going through a High School Musical phase now. :rolleyes:
I blame them for my growing hate of musicals. :p
High Schoo Musical is Disney's punishment to the world for tolerating Country and Folk music.

I watched pans labyrinth yesterday whilst I was on hold to BT (I didnt speak to one person through the duration of the whole film!). It was definitely not what I was expecting, I knew it was going to be a bit horrible, but I thought there was going to be more of the fairytaley stuff than the evil captain stuff. The Faun creeped me out big time and that thing with the eyes in its hands was down right horrible. It reminded me of the gnarl in season seven buffy but was a little less agile! Got it for a bargain in Tescos, was only £6 so I couldn't resist!!
that thing with the eyes in its hands was down right horrible.
It creeped me out too :eek: Lovely film though :)

I have never, and will never, watch anything High School Music related. Seeing the DVD cover in HMV was enough to let me know to stay as far away from it as possible.
Surely the fact it has the words 'High school' (of the stereotypical American kind) and 'Musical' would spell it out?
That was pretty much it yeah

Perfume: Story of a murderer
Aaah!
The book is one of my favourites ever (so far), and while reading it I always wondered how on earth it was possible that they made a movie out of it. Yesterday I finally got round watching the movie and obivously it is possible. Stunning, beautiful movie. Some minor errors, but overall too amazing.
Just like the book, it scores highly on my list of favourites now :D

Inland Empire.
Had to watch it in two halves as I fell asleep the first time and woke up wondering what the hell was going on - however I think I would have thought that even if I had stayed awake. There are some moments of genius in this film though, even if it is very confusing - I much prefer Mullholland Drive to this though (out of his more recent films).

I went to see 1408 - It was brilliant - very scary!
You'll think I'm mad now for this - but we saw a ghost in the cinema! I swear! There's a door in this particular cinema that the staff will go through and there's a kinda orange light behind it - but we saw a child walking really strangely through it and the light changed and kinda flashed in a paler form - we were freaked out, the kid never came back out either - it was freaky!

I finally watched "Blade Runner" at the weekend - an exhausting experience! For about four minutes I was under an erroneous impression that it would be an art-fart "Metropolis" clone, and it actually looks like Metropolis quite a lot of the time, but that dissolved and from then on I was gripped. I went from pole to pole with Harrison Ford's character, loving him one minute and hating him the next. There was a GREAT fight sequence between him and Daryl Hannah! What I wasn't expecting was that it was so sad. Usually, emotions in science fiction films are badly overdone and rely almost entirely on visual cues, so the effect is at best meretricious, but I think I was overwhelmed by the utter dystopia. I thought Rutger Hauer was great (unlike most of the people I`ve talked to) and the film looks wonderful, although it has dated a little in appearance. I can`t understand how it reviewed so badly at the time, unless people just wanted another "Star Wars" or something :confused: it is a film with so many layers, and yet you seem to travel on all of them throughout the film. No mean feat considering the titanic level of corporate bullshit that went on behind the scenes.

I went to a screening of that last night and really enjoyed it. I thought it'd be just a regular fantasy film, but it was really funny too. Especially the bits with Robert De Niro! Charlie Cox certainly is a cutie. And it had the gorgeous Henry Cavill in it too, who I didn't even recognise at the time as he had a blond wig moustache (as Humphrey, the rival for Victoria's love). Well worth seeing I'd say.

Yes, the soundtrack's become quite a must-have. Isn't it Vangelis? I did enjoy the music, actually, it went brilliantly with the visuals.
I watched "The Leather Boys" last night. Now, I know what you`re all thinking, it's a porn film, does peppermintpig ever stop flogging his wad etc. etc. but it wasn`t, it was a really old British film about homosexuality on BBC4. Very interesting........ as it was so old (it was pre-legalisation I think) you could hardly have expected a happy ending, indeed it was really sad at the end. The male lead was rather sexy too, in a late 1950s type way. I always had the notion that good-looking men didn`t really exist until 1988 :rolleyes:

Carry On Spying on television this afternoon. The thing that struck me most about it was those infamous old pooves Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams pretending to fancy girls.

Resident Evil - entertaining.
Resident Evil 2 - dreadful.
The Descent - a film of two halves, curious.
I enjoyed the first Resident Evil, thought it was quite good. But yeah, the second one's a bit crud. It got a bit boring at times watching Alice kick everyone's/everything's ass :(
As for The Descent, it's the second time I've seen it now. I spend half the time struggling to see all the gorey bits because it's so dark. Glad that Oriental chick Juno gets it though. What a bitch!! :mad:

Maxed Out, a film about the ravages inflicted by credit card debt in America. It does have a whiff of leftie bias, and it does not address well enough how people can be led astray by their own desires. But when you see how some people are driven to suicide after being led down a primrose path, or how personal debt so frightenly mirrors national debt, this film, in the great words of H. L. Mencken, makes one want to 'spit on one's palms, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats'.

D.E.B.S. - on DVD last night. It's the sort of film that, if you like the picture on the box, you'll enjoy the film. The picture is of 4 attractive young women in short blue plaid skirts toting guns. Jordana Brewster (Lucy) and Sara Foster (Amy) make a nice couple and the first time they almost kiss (but don't quite) the soundtrack is a couple of Goldfrapp songs.
D.E.B.S. - on DVD last night.....
You'd probably like DOA: Dead or Alive then (what is it with these titles?!).
The Bourne Supremacy - chugs along nicely and has a corking car chase that takes place in Moscow (although it was probably filmed in Slough). Good one.
I loved the first Resi film and though the second was...ok, I dont know what to make of the third one yet though, it looks...ok again.
From the many many (125-ish) pics i've seen from the film it looks like it's gonna kick arse! Try to find the Red Band trailer, it's much better than the normal Theatrical one.

The PS3 trailer makes it look like a cross between 'Mad Max' and 'Dawn Of The Dead' with a smidgen of 'The Day After Tomorrow' thrown in for good measure.
That's the general idea i think :p In the pics though, you can see that...well it isn't all in the desert put it that way. And they aren't the only ones alive.

YES! I love that film! It's just so great! Absolutely brilliant! I saw 'Knocked up' as well the other night actually, it was very funny, I've been on a right film rampage!
I went to see "Nine lives" last week. It is about nine stories of nine different women, but their lives are related in some things.
Mmmm... it was nice. Very good acting and each part is made in one shot! :eek:
I didn't understand the last story, though :(
8 femmes...ozon is a genius..deneuve and ardant on one screen...brilliant

The last film I watched was Dancer in the Dark on DVD on Saturday night. Bjork is a revelation as an actress. It's a contender for the title of the most remarkable film I've ever seen. It's tragic in the sense of "tragedy" found in the Greek tragedies.

Went to see Two Days In Paris last night. It's really, really funny. It's written by, directed by and stars Julie Delpy, and it's all about her character, Marion, a Parisienne who lives in New York, who visits her parents in Paris with her neurotic American boyfriend Jack (Adam Goldberg) and they have a bad time of it, running into her exes and so on. It's very funny on the realities of relationships and cultural differences, and her father in it (played by her real father) is hilarious.
And Adam Goldberg's rather hot in a strange way, I must say. You see rather a lot of him at one stage too (well, in a photo anyway).

I have to agree - wonderful film, certainly one to see at least once but it's like Requiem For A Dream in that you'll really have to struggle to watch it again. Not because it's bad, mind, but just because it takes sooooo much out of you!

Yeah, really harsh film! It affected me in many ways, but i think von triers exploits that innocent and child-like image bjork already had in it....so we end up feeling 10 times worse about the outcome! Anyway i loved it, but only got around to watching it twice.....like requiem, it's the end i can't stand watching!

"Garden State" - it was totally different from what I expected, but generally I think it's quite good. It had some really innovative elements, but the story was a little too weak for me. I enjoyed watching, though, it's not one of those films that requires a lot of thinking.

Went to see Atonement yesterday, which was good, really heart-breaking. One of the few book adaptations that does justice to the source material of late. You get as worked up about the injustice of it all as you do reading the novel. It looks amazing, especially the bits at the manor house, and the chaotic Dunkirk evacuation, and there are some good performances. Even Keira Knightley's not bad in it! My only criticism would be that James McAvoy isn't really good-looking enough to play Robbie, based on the descriptions of him in the book, but he's a good actor, so I'll let that slide.
Resident Evil Extinction. I was pleased with it :) Ending is so very weak though in my opinion

It really is just more of the same. But the ending is just piss, in no way does it "tie up" the storyline like it was supposed to. I downloaded it, fuck Sony for deciding the UK needs to get the shaft on everything, fuck em!
There'll probably be a fourth. Sometimes they just don't know when to stop (I'm glaring at YOU, Uwe Boll)

Watched David Lynch's Inland Empire last night/early this morning. I sat through 2+ hours of the movie and still don't know what the movie is really about. By far, this is Lynch's strangest movie to date. He won. He made a movie that made absolutely no sense to me.
Even the back of the DVD has no story synopsis.
"Stories are merely a bourgois construct manufactured to emasculate the intelligentsia by redefining modes of operation utilising linear parameters instead of fandabbydozy tattyfalariousness". Ken 'Diddy' Dodd, Philosopher By Jove Missus.

Not exactly filth - but it does have an 18 certificate, and includes young women enjoying sapphic delights. The erotic scenes are actually rather tastefully done. Anyone hoping for porn would be disappointed.

Deeply weird - and well worth watching. Horror in a very different style from that of Britain or America. Dream-like, surreal, downright disturbing. Breaking down the borderline between the real and unreality. The DVD (cheap-ish from Redemption) is a bit ropey here and there - but don't let that put you off. ;) Go for it! :)
This evening, I watched Grease. Last time I saw it was in the Fosse Cinema in Leicester, shortly after it came out. A very different kettle of films from Valerie and Her Week of Wonders.
I watched Fantastic Voyage yesterday! Gosh, I remember they showed it in the TV very often when I was a child and I didn't remember anything about it. I liked it very much! It's very well done for that time and I think I'm going to play it to my students at the end of the anatomy unit :cool: :)

Perhaps you should actually put your students in a miniaturised submarine and take them round a human body.
Richard Hammond did that, and look what happened to him ;)

Watched Talledega Nights last night on DVD, which I didn't think I'd like, but I was creasing up throughout, especially over Ricky Bobby's dad's methods for helping him get over his fear! Sasha Baron Cohen's really funny in it too, as the gay French racing driver.

I watched Fantastic Voyage yesterday! Gosh, I remember they showed it in the TV very often when I was a child and I didn't remember anything about it. I liked it very much! It's very well done for that time and I think I'm going to play it to my students at the end of the anatomy unit :cool: :)
That is such a great movie, isn't it?

In The Shadow Of The Moon, the Tom Hanks-produced documentary feature about the Apollo missions featuring interviews with some of the astronauts (seeing their eyes and knowing they have seen the moon made me catch my breath as much as the fantastic footage). Wonderful off the cuff reflections on being on top of the Saturn V as it fires off among other things make this film essential. Gene Cernan comparing his duty to his fellow aviators flying and getting shot at in Vietnam is sobering.
But among all the great lines here the one that makes me saddest was an interview from the time of Apollo 11 of a French woman who tell a reporter, "I trust America, and I knew they would not fail."
If this comes to a big screen near you, see it if you can afford it. With the special effects budget on this one, why see it on tv.:p

I rented Knocked Up and The Number 23 since I have the weekend off.. and I've already watched both. Knocked Up was okay.. I dunno, parts of it I just sat through, but it did have a nice ending. 23 was great.. but I gotta return it immediately.. I was supposed to have it back to the rental place like an hour ago. So, I haven't got to see the bonus chit yet.
Oh well.. off to ze video store!

yeah Knocked Up wasn't really that funny, there were parts that got a slight giggle...but that was it.

I started watching childsplay last night but I fell asleep just after the woman bought the doll of the tramp (yeah so I managed to get 10 minutes in haha)... I can't believe I've never seen it before hahah (my fear of dolls has prevented it!) But I've seen bride of chuckie and I think that may have taken the scaryness out of this film... I'll watch the rest tonight or something.

"Bring It On Again". Watched it last night. It's a sequel to the cheerleader film "Bring It On" The first film starred Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku - both of whom look very good in cheerleader outfits - and is a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the sequel includes neither Kirsten Dunst nor Eliza Dushku, has a much sillier storyline - and all the jokes are either weaker or the same (or both!).
I haven't yet seen the third film in the series "Bring It On All or Nothing" and might not bother with it except... Well - it stars Hayden "save the cheerleader save the world" Panettiere. It might be interesting to see her playing the part of a cheerleader.

In a bit of a no brain mood last night, I watched "Bring It On All or Nothing" - the third in the "Bring It On" series. While not as good as the original film, it's a great deal better than the first sequel. And it's nice to see Hayden Panettiere actually doing some cheerleading. Self-regeneration is all very well, but "Heroes" hasn't allowed us to see much of her cheerleading skills.
However, as a health warning, it should be said that the entire "Bring It On" series is probably best avoided by anyone with a phobia about fit young women leaping about in short skirts. I wish I knew the Greek for "fit young women leaping about in short skirts" so that I could give the phobia its proper name.

I watched Control last night.
I BAWLED. It was so sad! Not on Ian's behalf, but Debbies. She's my best friends godmother, so I feel as though I have this slight connection to her. I had no idea what she had been through, he was a moron.
I don't think I've cried at a film before, but it was so fantastic. Depressing as hell though, made me feel really angry too.
I'd say it was one of the best films I've ever seen. Fo' sho'.

Last night I watched Slap Her She's French. I bought the DVD ages ago - very cheap in the closing down sale of a shop that had gone bankrupt - I thought that it had to be worth checking out at the tiny price. It turns out to be really funny - had me laughing out loud several times - worth buying at several times the price I paid.

mmm, so is it funny, then?? I wanted to see it only because of lovely Jennifer Garner, and now this gives me an excuse:
"This movie is stupid"
"But a friend told me it was funny!!!"

Yes - I was thinking of Piper Perabo. From some angles she looks a bit like Jenny, from others she looks nothing like her. I now wonder whether Caro was thinking of "13 Going on 30".

Spiderman 3 :( what in the hell was that...Sandman should have been the only new bad guy...and Harry as the er....Goblin I do believe, that they rushed it due to Tobey saying he would only do 3 Spiderman films (which has now ruined the series) as they tried to put way too much into one film...Venom should have been a SOLO enemy in Spiderman 4 rather than have him as a weak weak weak weak weak side kick of a side kick...as I thought before seeing the film that Venom would be the "man in charge" and Sandman would be the "muscle" but here we just seem to get 3 storylines thrown together with no...heart...skill...it's all just ends up being very bad.
which is a shame as Spiderman seemed to be the best of the superhero adaptions to film...but ends up looking like it's the worst.
but then I guess X-Men 3 wasn't all that good either...
shame.

What I like most about Alias is that Ms Garner manages to seem at the same time tough (so that the action seems credible) and vulnerable (so that I feel concerned for her). ;)

I agree. Spiderman 3 really sucked. I went to see it because of Venom and they put a lame actor who it's even more skinny than Tobey Maguire. And like you said, they tried to make so many stories in the movie, which left it all very incomplete.
I did like X-Men 3... but for this one I don't know the original story at all :o :o
BTW I went to watch Resident Evil 3 yesterday! I really liked it! I doesn't have a lot to do with the game story, but I still like watching Milla Jovovich kicking zombie asses :D

:) Not exactly what I've recently watched - but what I intend to watch...
I've sorted a stack on 12 films on DVD I intend to watch between now and Christmas (probably starting tonight). They're things I've picked up over a space of several years, and not yet got round to watching. Listed in no especial order:
Platinum Blonde. The Frank Capra film that launched Jean Harlow's career. Dating to 1931, the oldest of the dozen.
Legally Blonde. Is a theme developing, here?
Edgeplay. A film about the Runaways. I love the Runaways (and the later records several of them made after the band split).
13 Going on 30. Jennifer Garner is enough of a reason to watch. I'm looking forward to it.
Mean Girls. Lindsay Lohan.
Freaky Friday. Lindsay Lohan again, this time with Jamie Lee Curtis. Wow!
The Avengers. As a fan of the 60s TV series, I've been advised not to watch this. All the same, as a fan of the 60s TV series, I feel that I need to watch it sooner or later.
Mr & Mrs Smith. Angelina Jolie.
Miss Congeniality. Sandra Bullock.
Amelie. The only subtitled film in the stack.
Underworld Evolution. I enjoyed the first Underworld film for Kate Beckinsale in leather fighting gear - and expect to enjoy the sequel for the same reason.
Thelma & Louise. It's strange that I haven't yet seen it.
I have a vague memory of there being an origincal freaky friday. Did Jodie Foster not do that film originally when she was a kid?
