Saw District 9, didn't care for it. You know you're not getting into a film when during the action/gun fights you're going "oh just kill him already and let's be done with it".

Hmmmm... I own some of them on DVD, but by no means the whole lot. :o
Manged to see Avatar, at long last.
Well worth the wait - a stunning visual spectacle in 3D. A run-of-the-mill story and predictable characterisation and dialogue, but it's well paced and never drags.
A few good things coming up too - "The Road", "Up in the Air" in particular. I may even check out the Ian Dury biopic, too.
I see that there's a film opening later this month called "Burlesque Undressed". It features Immodestly Blaize, star of the "Train" video, so could be worth checking out!
Paranormal Activity

Domino.
One the worst best, most brilliantly terrible, genius disasters I've ever seen. 473 seperate unrelated shots, sequenced together using dice throws and finalised on devices with wonky colour settings. It goes out of "so bad it's good" and back into bad so many times that the gauge spins like a Catherine wheel.
Walken? Springer? Waits?!
Say what!? :p:D
Saw the first 15 -20 minutes of 'Domino' on DVD and thought I was having a fit. Stopped watching and still managed to develop a migraine.
'The Fall' was the last Blu-ray I watched. Like a big Wispa Easter egg - gorgeous but hollow.

Very stunning in visuals and a good experience to watch in 3D. The downside was the absolute dire script and piss poor acting or over acting in some cases.

Spirited away was the last film I watched. One of my favourite things in the whole world ever. It's one of those films that turn something so simple into something so exciting, amazing, magical and beautiful. I wanna watch some anime again now :)

It's kinda lame. There's parts that actually feel like real life, but other "theories"(if that's what one would call it) are way off. I like the funny bits.
Just seen Sherlock Holmes which was fun
nothing more
nothing less
The Road
In a word........bleak!
But compelling and visually, it's stunning (in a grim way). I'm told that there's some differences from the book (and perhaps less horrifying).
As a portrait of a post-apocalyptic world, I suspect it's all too realistic.
Recommended....if you're in the right mood!

Burn After Reading. Really funny film - it satirises the so-called "intelligence" agencies, and is about these two dimwits who think they've found some classified information and try to make money from it. Brad Pitt's hilarious in it as this airheaded himbo fitness instructor.

The Old Dark House (1932, I think).

No Distance Left to Run - a film about Blur.
A decent documentary that meshes some film about their comeback tour with interviews, reflections about their career and old film clips, some unseen before. Lots of focus on the sometimes fractured relationships in the band. It'll be out on DVD in a couple of weeks time.
Some funny moments too. One of the best is when Alex is recording a series of idents for Japanese radio shows. For one of them he says: "Hi, I'm Alex ...the stupid one from Blur........Stop eating whales, you cunts" :)

'Angel-A', a B&W Luc Besson film set in Paris about an angel named Angela (oh gawd) sent to Earth to help a loser love himself. It's a mess but has a few saving graces (brrm-tish) such as nice cinematography and unusual lead actors. All-in-all though a disappointment. Just got 'Leon' and 'Nikita' on Blu-ray though so fuggit :).

You know, I've never before liked Woody Harrelson. In fact, at times, I've really disliked him. After this evening, I'm positive that one day I will marry him.
A Prophet
A French film focusing on a young, naive guy from an Algerian background coping (and prospering) in a brutal prison dominated by Corsican gangsters. It's been compared with The Godfather and Goodfellas and although different in many respects, it's worthy of that status.

Up in the Air
George Clooney plays a lone-wolf executive who flies around the USA doing the dirty work for businesses getting rid of some of their staff. He finds his contented state threatened by a smart, young college graduate.
Although the sentiments of the film are hardly radical, it's a funny and poignant film with some great dialogue.

Precious
A grim tale about an illiterate, teenage single mother. Usually, this theme is the staple fare of certain British directors, but this is an American film this time - directed by Lee Daniels.
It's a compelling story with fine performances, including a barely recognisable Mariah Carey. Some of the editing and directing seemed a bit clumsy, but it didn't detract too much.

Blade Runner, on a 37'' 1080p screen, synced using 24p Real Cinema from the 'final cut' Blu-ray. For sound I pushed the TrueHD audio down through my Sennheiser headphones. BR had to be my first film watched.
It's probably getting on for my 30th watching but what all the geek gubbins above means is that I've never seen it to any level like that, possibly even the cinema in some respects. Shots like the opening city & Tyrell building pan are just extraordinary and really busy scenes like J.F.'s toy-filled flat just leap of the screen.

Just finished watching it - wow!
For a film past it's 30th birthday it looks amazing. Reds & blues are especially vivid, there's little noise or fluff left on the print and you can almost see the different lenses used in some of the shots based on the way the light seems or slight colour halos. Amazing stuff, right back to how it was originally. The uncompressed audio is stonking too, really firing both the Carlos and classical scores.
Well worth £8 (who said blu-rays are dear!) and I've got a pile of docs & tv shows to watch on it yet.
it's a shame Kubrick didn't use all the Carlos score that she did... it's breathtaking stuff she was so good still is stands up after all this time ..

I don't mind the length as it feels like three sections (ultraviolence / experiment / consequences) and that helps propel it along. Just works for what it was.
I do think I prefer Kubrick's over-held shots and long, long, slow pans from things like The Shining or 2001 to the more hyper nature of this but I still like the film as a whole.

online prices vary a bit as shown in that link, it's still the cheapest way to get Blu Rays though
but go into your local HMV and you'll be hit with £25 for St Trinians, "wha?????? wasn't that their budget for the entire film?" (never seen it by the way...never want to either, it just made me laugh that someone out there will pay that much for it...plus the same exact package Missions Impossible 1, 2, and 3 in store is £60 while online at play it's a much more reasonable £14.99
best time to get Blu Rays in store, is when there is a special offer on, or a sale on. of course sometimes you can stumble across a bargain...it just rarely happens.
nice choice of film there by the way...haven't seen that in a long long time.

I think it's a bit removed from likes and dislikes. It's always struck me as an intensely personal thing - it puts you in a very judgmental position almost from the off.... almost makes you un-think.... like the last hour of an acid trip. It's almost not a film at all.

I know what you mean - it's got a narrative arc and all that in the normal way, in some respects a very rigid and unexciting one of "man does wrong, the powers that be try to fix things and it backfires", but somehow that seems less important than the whole overall thought of what lengths society should go to in order to suppress anti-social behaviour. That's certainly what it leaves with me, anyhoo.

The fifth Bring It On film Fight to the Finish. The first and third films in the series are good, the second and fourth somewhat meh. The fifth one is not at all bad, although some of the dialogue is incomprehensible, as far as I'm concerned. I remember hearing that alternate Star Trek films are good (but can't remember whether it's the odd or even numbered ones). Something similar seems to be going on with the Bring It On films -- with the odd numbered ones the movies to watch.

Loved it. With so many vampire things around over the last few years it says something that this felt fresh and a whole different take on it. It was the first time I've watch a film on blu-ray without seeing it on any other format first and it's surprisingly engrossing - the scene in long slow fly-over where you see the main body of the attack taking place has an almost ridiculous level of detail in it.

It came nowhere close to Eternal Sunshine though. Gondry is an amazing director but he definitely needs someone else to write a script. The story wasn't great and it got very muddled near the end. But the film does look great. And it had Gael Garcia Bernal in it so you're kinda distracted away from the fact that it makes no sense. :p

Alison and Will have made a fine job of the music too. Understated and reflective of the emotional tone of particular scenes. It's very unobtrusive, as good scores should be, and does the job well.

I'm so glad someone else (especially someone young) hates CGI. It's permeating everything now, and it looks stupid. I was, however, expecting the "Alice" film to seem very dreamlike, which should theoretically have lent itself well to CGI, and yet it would seem it has not.
It's getting to the stage where the visual effects they had in the 1980s are more striking than the ones they have now.

And so many actors hate it too. They'd never say so in interviews, with Pixar picking up the tabs, but it's turning their careers into just another job. There seems to be a school of thought that says an actor working in green screen works twice as hard, but who wants to work hard for a living? And where's the social and psychological interaction that actors thrive upon when they work with actual human beings? It must make it a lot harder for them to perform that leap of faith that all artists, actors and musicians must make for them to create something.
It's all leading towards getting rid of actors completely, and just having their voices. Maybe even that will go in the end..... Troilus and Cressida performed by two Macs. Actually I just copyrighted that idea, it's starting at the Manchester Halle next year so beware, I am Jesus and my lawyers are the twelve disciples, nick my idea and feel my subpoena.

I've also recently watched The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. In spite of its soundtrack, and some of its moments, I enjoyed Pretty in Pink less than the other two.

Pretty in Pink
Dude, I totally knew you were going to watch that next. It was probably my least favorite of the Molly Opera.

Where the Wild Things Are.Man, what a boring film. Parents having to sit through this at the theater must have discovered what hell is really like.

I like pale - where some actresses/models are concerned I view it as a positive advantage :D
I'd happily extend that to freakishly pale as well :o:p
I'm a complete fan of pale aswell!
But this was that kind of 'I'm on the verge of throwing up' kind of pale!
