I have to tell you both, that it was AMAZING. It made me cry. Was so subtle and heart wrenching, Yet funny and off the wall. Has to be one of my favourite films now.

I'm a huge Lynch fan - I love that film! It's called the straight story because it's about the only film he's made which isn't completely surreal (unless you count the woman who can't stop running over deer). One of my fave bits in the film is when he's setting off down a long road on his tractor and the camera pans up to the sky and you expect some sort of passage-of time moment - but the camera then lowers again to reveal he's only gone about 20 metre's - very funny! I love it when film plays against your expectations.

Just watched Sideways - what a great film - sooooo funny and moving too - has anyone seen it? The bit where she explains why she loves wine so much was amazing
I've seen that, and was really impressed with it. I got sent it at work and wasn't expecting much from it, but it was really funny and touching. I could have done without seeing that fat guy running down the street naked though!

That's a great film. I had a definite tear in my eye where the old man is talking to the pregnant runaway girl about family by the campfire.
Last movie I watched was Gone With The Wind yesterday on telly. Yes, it's slushy melodrama, but it's one of those films I can't help but watch when I come across it on TV.

Awww yes. Its so good.
The simplicity at the end. All that work to try and meet his brother. Then when he gets there; no hugs and pointless dialogue. And his brother looks so mean at first and then suddenly his face seems to soften. I swear I was nearly crying and thinking so much about someone I love. Films hardly ever get anything out of me, unless they are as well done as this.

Went to see Brokeback Mountain today - liked it alot although I prefered the book. Heath Ledger is really good in it (is it me or does he really look like George Bush??) and the sight of Jake wearing just cowboy boots was quite nice too ;)
Also, whatsherface from Dawson's creak is in it and she's good too and whoever it is who plays Jake's wife is very funny - her hair got better and better with every scene!

I thought it was great. A little slow to start but once it all starts happening, it's fab. We had the sound coming through our HUGE speakers too which made it sound amazing.

I really have to get around to seeing that. Everyone I know who's seen it said it was good.
Last film I watched was Finding Neverland over the weekend on DVD. Really good - I got quite teary at one point, embarrassingly enough.

The notebook
Behind every great love is a great story.
Adapted from Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel, and directed by Nick Cassavetes (the son of legendary director John Cassavettes).
A sweeping love story told by a man reading from his faded notebook (James Garner) to a woman in a nursing home (Gena Rowlands - real-life mother of Nick Cassavetes). 'The Notebook' follows the lives of two North Carolina teens from very different worlds (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams). Though her upbringing takes place in an antebellum mansion, and he grew up in the kind of house where musicians strum on the porch, that doesn't stop Noah and Allie from spending one incredible summer together, before they are separated, first by her parents and then by WWII.
After the war is over, everything is different. Allie is engaged to a successful businessman, and Noah lives alone with his 200-year-old house that he lovingly restores. But, when Allie reads a newspaper article about Noah's handiwork. She knows that she's got to find him, and make a decision once and for all about the path her life - and her love - must take...

One of my all time favourites and the Black Cherry imagery is perfectly in tune with it.
I shudder to think what this years' remake is going to be like. Especially with an old ham like Nicholas Cage in the lead role.:(

Mean Girls! We all love that movie in my house. It's top of the list on the sky+ thing and we decided we are NEVER deleting that. It's so good. I wouldn't like to be in that school though.
I went to see King Kong last night. Amazing! The special effects really worked for this movie. Although there was a really scary bit with creepy crawlies in it. Did anyone see the big with the spider in Lord of The Rings. Now if you found that scary and disgusting, multiply it by 1000 and you get this scene. I was jumping off my seat. Apart from that really good movie.

Anyway i saw "Breakfast on Pluto" there the other day, which if anyone doesn't know, is about a boy named Patrick (Cillian Murphy), who finds his identity as transexual "Kitten". Alot better than you would think! Go see it if it's in your cinema!

Brokeback Mountain is the best, beautiful, and heaviest movie I have ever seen. Paying to see that film, supporting it, is truly a blessing. What I would have given to have been able to contribute to such a flawless masterpiece.
I have never cried before just thinking about a movie.
It's a crime not to see it in theaters and support what it stands for.

Death Wish II last night. I keep wondering if it was just me, or was the acting in that film REALLY toe-curlingly awful? The action sequences were great though.

Gondry is awesome. Everybody should own his 'Work Of Director' DVD. There's a bit in Eternal Sunshine where the characters are running as planks off a fence are being torn up into the sky which is amazing.

That's the third funniest moment.
The second being: "He's losing his mind, and I'm reaping the benefits".
The best being: "I've got a song for you, It's called 'I got punched in the face for sticking my nose in other peoples' business"
Awesome film.

I definitely recommend trying again JJJ, I thought it was one of the best Batman films there's been (except maybe Batman Returns). Plus, it's got Christian Bale AND Cillian Murphy in it, which was fine by me.

Underworld 2
And it owned my ass! For a comic book style movie about vampires vs werewolves - where my expectations of Oscar calibre acting & writing obviously aren't there - it ruled for what it was. Best new silly action packed over-the-top violence & gore franchise since Blade in my opinion. And no matter how bad some people think the plot may be, it's still light years more clever and less ghey than that horrible Matrix trilogy any day of the week.
Now to keep trying to wait patiently for X-Men 3...

And you were doing so well until you used the term 'ghey' as an insult.

Cannibal Holocaust?...If it's the movie that I know...ehm...it's incredibly disgusting. My aunt showed me some scenes and told me not even she could watch it. What I saw was enough. Somebody told me it's something like a real documentary but I just can't believe that. While thinking of it I feel the need to throw up...
i watched david cronenbergs 'shivers' last night, the one about the parasites in the high rise building!

It's a fake documentary.
And, yes, it is genuinely disgusting. I felt like I needed to shower after watching it.
I tend to watch stuff like that though just to have an out-of-the-ordinary experience. It's nasty, but it's a good way to cleanse your mental palette of all the garbage pumped into it everyday through all the billboards/sitcoms/adverts/re-runs of "Friends"/people-who-all-dresstalkthink-the-same/typical cliche-ridden-panderings/ugly people/anything else which tries to colonize your psyche by invading through your eyeballs.

"Ring Of Bright Water" - lovely. I think when the one moment of violence comes, it`s all the more shocking because the rest of the film is so bucolic. And not a sniff of the social politics that seems to ride on the back of all today`s cinema like a deformed Siamese twin. Beautiful to watch!

"Casshern" - Japanese, two hours and forty minutes and mindbending.
(Man vs machine) vs other men (kinda)
It makes pretty much any Western futuristic film look staid and lifeless - there was literally a million things happening on screen at any given time. The latter end became a musing on the nature of life itself and the human condition.....only with giant robot wars too at the same time :D
I think I understood about 2/3rds of it but it was wonderful overall.

I watched The Descent last night. F***ing hell!!!! Total bloodshed, when it gets going that is.

it's not as shitty as people had told me it was....! I think it was ok, and the special effects were stunning

Documentaries - loving them; The Corporation, Overnight, Dig!, etc.
Last drama film I watched was 'Saw' - gave up half way through. Whoever said that it was on a par with 'Seven' should be sectioned. A pile of steaming fishheads.
Last music vid; Kraftwerk - Minimum Maximum. Simultaneously brilliant, curious and funny. "Ja, holdink my hand to my mouth showz I am doink ze singink not ze mimeink."
Bram Stoker's Dracula, by Coppola, last night...
yeah ok... I liked it at first... but as the film went by, I just liked it less and less....

Me and my hubby had the sound coming through an amplifier and then we plugged two sets of headphones into it. We thought this way we could have it loud (we watched it in the evening) and not disturb Emily while she was asleep.
The bit where the girl is looking out the window of the log cabin and that pole goes through the window made me s**t myself. Also there were a few scenes where those 'things' were jumping out of the caves that made me really jump.
The scene where one of the girls sticks her thumbs in the eyes of one of those freaks really made me urge though :( GROSS!!!
god i was chuffing on about the descent for ages on her i saw it at the cinema and was just traumatised!!
im pretty hardcore with horror films also! i agree that pole through the window thing is just horrible

Saw Constantine last night - on the whole pretty pants, saved only from total pants-dom buy the wonderful Rachel Weiz - she's sooo watchable :)
Constantine - it was pretty by-the-numbers wasn't it. The whole talking to the devil bit at the end lost me, probably because I'd watched the DVD intermittently.
Rachel Weiz has always struck me as a bit of a Kate Winslett clone. Or should it be the other way around?

I ended up plumping for Ghost World lst night. Sorry Tatt, it was too late to put myself through Pi!
OK, I bought a couple more DVD's today, so what do you reckon tonight:
Either Pi, Lost in Translation, Alfie (original with Michael Caine, obviously) and Strictly Ballroom. I've seen them all before though, so I need good reasons.

Pi's a bit too meh for a thursday night too wound up, if you know what I mean. Lost in Translation I've never seen but I wouldn't watch that either, Strictly Ballroom is fabulous...overall I think you should watch Alfie tonight, it's fun. Although I've only caught snippets of it.
Or just fuck it all and watch whatevers on tv tonight, now let me see *consults Radio Times* ...Human Traffic, ahh that's shit. Don't watch that.

I just finished watching The Wicker Man, and I feel about as burnt over as poor Sargent Howie. I wish he could have met his fate with the same resolve as Stephen in the Book of Acts, perhaps been a bit more forgiving (for that is the one aspect of grace that is the greatest divide between any paganism that is based on appeasing envious gods and the Christianity that the apostles preached). But who am I to judge.
There is a nice bit in the book that Hardy an Shaeffer wrote from the screenplay (I skipped to the end on that one; sorry) where he manages to get some of the sacrifical birds free before he dies; good touch.
I am a bit puzzled by what he screamed at the very end, though.

Hope you recover soon!
It is a disturbing film, but I regard it as a (very) British classic. Whether it should be classified as a "horror" film is debatable... it could even be thought of as a musical!
There are a few different ideas as to Howie's final scream, but I believe he is saying "Failure!" - presumably referring to the islanders and not himself.
I have not read the book you mentioned - that's interesting about the freeing if the birds.
Did you see the director's cut? There is an extra 9 minutes at the start - the letter and the church scenes - which help the narrative considerably.

You know, it would be kind of cool if he did scream 'failure' in relation to the freed birds. As for the book, I checked the local library's website to see if they had the Wicker Man and I found that they had a book as well, subtitled 'a novel of religious sexuality and pagan murder'.

If I listened better, I might agree. But the whole scene is a bit sad, since it means that he will be fit to be burned as a a result of his resistance.

And Father Ted does make a good follow-up; now I imagine the pagans of Summerisle trying to nab Father Jack Hackett.

Lost In Translation.
Didn't enjoy it quite as much as I did at the cinema, probably because when you're watching it at home it become less about the cinematography and more about the plot.
Not that I didn't wholly enjoy it, it's just that with the music and beautiful shots less apparent, it was never going to be as good as the last time I saw it.
Insert obligatory 'Scarlett Johansson is stunning' comment here.
Lost in translation was never going to be as good for the second time and at home for me. Seeing it for the first time at the cinema was wonderful.
Oh and...Scarlet Johannson is stunning :p

Love Michael Gondrys pop videos but I'm a little apprehensive as he co-wrote 'Spotless' with Charlie Kaufman. Charlie Kaufman wrote 'Being John Malkovich' and I thought that was rubbish. Fingers crossed then....

I can't spell 'Malkovitch'. Malkovic? It doesn't look right however I do it.
The Green Mile is on Channel 4 at the moment but I can't physically bring myself to watch anything to do with the electric chair. It's just something which horrifies me. I watched this film once, and what I saw through between my fingers seemed good but was just a bit too traumatic for me.

Apocalypse Now Redux.
When thinking out what I would watch this weekend, I figured that Captain Willard and Colonel Kurtz would be the perfect partners of Sargent Howie and Lord Summerisle. Both journeys end in suitably pagan places to fight out a battle between order and chaos.
The scenes at the French Plantation are remarkable.

Watched Cecil B. Demented, The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie and Mrs Henderson Presents over the weekend. Mrs Henderson was pretty good (though I could have done without seeing Bob Hoskins naked! Shame you only see Will Young's arse in it and not the front, which I'm told is quite impressive), and evoked the period well. Cecil B. Demented was funny. It was one of the only John Waters films I hadn't seen before.
The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie was great. I'd read the book but never seen the film all the way through. Maggie Smith as Jean Brodie's scenes with the puritanical headmistress are wonderfully sneery (Ah, chrysanthemums... such serviceable flowers...’).
nearly in tears? I was properly crying at that part!

I justified it to my stepmum when she walked in by saying "really, martial arts on screen is more like dancing than fighting", and getting Joseph to say that "kicking people is only OK if you're on television".

OMG that's one of my favourite films ever! The scene when he goes to the whore house and just talks to her, and apologises - and she slowly realises who is talking to her - that's one of the most moving scenes ever made in my opinion! And it also has an amazing soundtrack by Ry Cooder.

Yup, that was a very touching movie....!
I've just watched Manderlay. I liked it! But now I have learned how to make a selection of what I like and what I don't like in Lars Von Trier's movies.... What I mean is that sometimes he annoys me a LOT and I can't get rid off the feeling.... now I just focus on what I like in the movie and leave the rest behind

I watched 'Alfie' (the original) last night. Probably a bad idea as I'm going through a bit of a red-head obsession at the moment and Jane Asher is just amazing. One thing about that film though: Michael Caine is just too much of a horrible person in it to be a 'lovable rogue', I can't stand his character.
I watched Pi today. I think its not as difficult to follow as everyone says it is, but its an involving watch. The fact that its only an hour and a quarter helps the film as well. It ends just before you start getting pissed off by it. Aranofsky really has a way of beating you over the head doesn't he?

I hear she makes fantastic cakes too.
I watched "Wolf Creek" last night - has anyone seen it? I so wasn't expecting some of that - NASTY!! Well executed though (pardon the pun):rolleyes:

I did laugh watching the film where Michael Caine says that 'she makes a blinding egg custard'. Little did he know!
welcome to the dollhouse
sooo good, its like what napolean dynamite totally ripped off.
has anyone seen it, the lead girls so funny
I tried to watch "Mean Girls" this morning.... My flatmate lent it to me.... I can do with plain silliness from time to time.... ("Charlie's Angels")

I watched Birth earlier, and I don't know if I understand the ending...
watched "Marie Full of Grace" this afternoon. I liked it. Quite interesting things to know...
Oh and yesterday, "¡Átame!" ("Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!"). Very funny, very crazy... as usual :)

'Snatch' is on at the moment. This has dated so badly.
I can't decide if its just good fun or realy annoying.

Maybe tomorrow.

someone has lent me Herbie Charlie and the Choclate factory and Valiant
Anyone recomend any of them?
Or should I just give them back and not bother
anyone seen "Last Broadcast" or "Audition" there both pretty good (If a little cheap)
yeah I just saw a clip of "Snatch" (Bricktop and Tyrone are my faves) does look a little old but still a good film

When that film finishes you think "That's brilliant, I never want to watch that again."
It's a fiver in Fopp as well but I can't bring myself to buy it. I might be able to stand it with a commentary, but that film has the devil inside it.

Somewhere on here, possibly even this thread, I mention how I felt after my last viewing. I'd drunk a lot of Absinthe and it really wasn't a good combination.
You don't want to make that more vivid....

Saw Dirty Pretty Things last night - I had no idea what it was about before I watched it (it's about illegal immigrants in Britain, and also covers how some sell their own body organs for passports). Was a very touching film and all the better for having Audrey Tatou in it :)

I think you'll find her name isn't sophie. It's Bitchtits. Yep. Thats it.
"Good Night and Good Luck" at the cinema, yesterday.
Pretty good. It caught the fear and paranoia of the period very well.
lol Calamity Jane :D

Watched Read My Lips (Sur Mes Levres) last night, after taping it on Saturday. Really good film, a clever thriller about a deaf girl who gets caught up in heist, where her lip-reading skills come in very handy. Couldn't agree with my boyf about whether Vincent Cassel is sexy or not though. I said yes, he said no.
Oh and yesterday, "¡Átame!" ("Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!"). Very funny, very crazy... as usual
I loved that film. I only saw it for the first time recently.

That depresses me.:(
Annie Hall - with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. Had to watch for my screening today in uni, but also had to watch another film afterwards cos the projector broke last week. think it was called "I Heard the Mermaids Crying". didnt feeature any mermaids crying, but i sure was. T'was fucking shite. Although we did watch Fellini's 8 1/2 didnt get the narrative at frist, but visually was amazing.

Last film i saw was Munich. It was very intense, and all the actors were great in it - i recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach as it's quite violent in parts!

I watched Chasing Amy last night...big fan of Kevin Smith movies, but this is my least favourite!!
I dont know if liking Kevin Smith movies is a good or bad thing!! :confused: bit childish of me I suppose!
Oh and I went to see walk the line on Friday! Reese witherspoon was fantastic in it. I wanted to punch Joaquin!! (Very good acting all around!)

Thats got me in the mood to watch mallrats again tonight now...or maybe JASBSB (fitty eliza dushku instead of a bit wrong shannon doherty!)... I dunno! Oh how I wish I wasnt at work and instead were curled up in my bed surrounded by DVDs and popcorn! heeh!
Just saw "Lucky Number Slevin"...I didn't really want to see it but scheduling and my mates preferences decided for me...
BUT, it's brilliant! Lots of twists and turns, blood and guts. Don't be put of by the trailer, it doesn't do it justice!

There's one tiny bit of Mallrats where Jay does this random bit of moshing into Silent Bob who picks him up and 'puts him back into the pit' - it always really makes me laugh.
Also, Jason Lee = cool. Anybody else watching My Name Is Earl?
I want to watch Sideways tonight. I adore Sandra Oh.

I love My Name Is Earl, it cracks me up! I often have to watch an episode twice to catch stuff I miss 'cause I've missed it when I was laughing. I like how it manages to be heart-warming too, but not in a cheesy way.
I keep hoping Kevin Smith or Jason Mewes might make a guest appearance, since they're mates with Jason Lee.

Love that film - must watch again soon....
Watched Red Eye last night - not bad in parts and Cillian Murphy is good in it, but it gets predictably over the top.

A couple of bottles of wine perhaps?
I think it would be great to have a sideways party - where everyone who comes watches the film and has to match the cast drink for drink (including the spitbucket if you're feeling adventurous!). Downside - could be expensive and you may need a kidney transplant afterwards.

The problem with drinking games is that I never know whether you're allowed to drink whenever you want. Playing I never, for example, I always just lift my glass to have a drink and never realise what I'm doing.

Anyway! back to the point, last film I watched... well I havent watched one since I watched Mallrats again t'other day. Though I might drag my mate to see date movie at the weekend!! Dont groan at me, I know its going to be crap, but I have to see alyson!!
watched Monty Pythons' Holy Grail yesterday... Love them :D
In a couple of hours I'm going to the movies to watch Transamerica. I haven't seen the trailer but I'm always interested in stories dealing with identity and gender.... And Felicity Huffman is said to be good in it!
