Try to get "The In-Laws" with Peter Falk and Adam Arkin; it's the original and 100% more funny than the KD one.
Just saw "The Terminal" and Tom Hanks once more proves he can carry a film all by himself..well almost. A foreigner trapped by govn't rules makes due and overcomes; it is so well done.

I saw and enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite. Hardly an Oscar contender, but a fun, quirky character study.

I saw the Last Temptation of Christ on Friday.
Still stewing over it a bit. Mostly about how so many people who hadn't seen the film claimed to be offended by it. Watch the thing before you proclaim offense...sheesh.

I just saw Finding Neverland last night. It's a pretty darn good film, but I guess I've been watching so many foreign films and reading about surrealism lately, so I've been having trouble appreciating "normal" films...
But, I'm really looking forward to Tim Burton's direction of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Fatory, specially with Danny Elfman as composer ![]() Last edited by Embladyne : 01-17-2005 at 06:05 PM. |

Just saw Alexander...it was just okay, maybe not even that.
Angelina Jolie (in addition to being incredibly hot), gave the best performance of the film. Her and Val Kilmer gave the only semblance of a "good" performance. Christopher Plummer and Anthony Hopkins are both incredible actors, but given nothing to work with here. And Colin Farrell has only a few moments that even come close to good. Rosario Dawson's role will do nothing for her career, she has kinda cool breasts but...even that did nothing for me. Also just saw Napoleon Dynamite and The Village, I loved the former, and was shocked (in a good way) by the latter, the ending blew my mind.

Has anyone seen the extras on The Village DVD? That Indiana Shaymalan (argh, if I could spell....) movie is hilarious! I just saw Sweet Dreams, a movie about Patsy Cline. Ugh. The only thing good about it is it proves once again that Ed Harris can play a class-A jerk extremely well. Is that really good?

Yeah... I was a tad disappointed with the ending, but as I tend to say with these things - the company was good. Very cleverly done, Lady English, to slip in the criticism of cliche, but it was just a weird deja vu.

Saw Sky Captain and World of Boredom yesterday.
The moment it started I thought, "ahh no, don't let it look like this". There is a "glowy", "kinda-blurry" feel to the picture. Then suddenly everything started getting all Batman/Dick Tracy-like. Which was rubbish and pulled me out of the film. I was falling asleep at the 20 minute mark. I know it was 20 minutes because I looked at my watch. Then I saw giant robots. I tried various seating positions to become more comfortable. Nothing worked. I've never looked around a cinema so much before, examining the speakers and the lights on the steps in the centre of the theatre. Somebody behind me woke me up by laughing. I think they were laughing by mistake, because there was nothing funny. Even though I slept through a quarter of the movie, I just know that there was no funniness. Then I saw aeroplanes that flap their metal wings in order to fly. I tried to sleep, but some explosions kept waking me up. Then I saw strange creatures on an island. Everything was still blurry in a dreamlike way. Then I saw Jude Law punching metal things with his fists on his way to....nah, that would give the laughable story away. I was so sleepy when I walked out of the cinema. Luckily my movie-going experience is subsidised slightly by my medical aid (as a sort of perk), so the horrible experience only cost me $2. |

This week I saw "Comme un image". What a wonderful movie. I guess it's only playing in cinemas which show art house movies, but if you get the chance to watch it, do so.
There's not really a plot, but so much reality in it.

I just watched a movie called Normal. I had seen the begining, and wanted to watch the rest. It is pretty darn good, and the best so far at sensitively representing the pains of being transexual...

Just saw The Legend of Bagger Vance. Not bad. Will Smith and Matt Damon were good. My favorite part of the movie was Matt Damon's drinking speech- 'Every time you take a drink, it kills off a thousand brain-cells... The first thing to go are the sad cells, so you smile a lot. The next to go are the quiet cells, so you say everything real loud- but that doesn't matter much because the next ones to go are the stupid cells, and everything you say is real smart...' That was witty and very funny.

I just watched a movie called "Russian Ark" Really beautiful, and it reminded me of why arrogant people really irritate me.
The film has no cuts, and is a single shot...which really helps tie the story all together, I believe. I've only seen a few Russian films, and none of them were really what you could call "conventional" films but that didn't stop them from being accessable, or being wonderful experiences. |

The directors cut of the Professional, i love everything about this movie and in the director cut you see her wear the dress, which fulfils everything i wished in this movie...
Also Garden State today, i could find nothing to complain and had lots of things i love, such a plain movie which makes it so spectacular.. Going to see Seed of Chucky tonight, not really that enthused, id prefer to see Closer or Hundred million dollar baby, or GS again...
