I watched "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" last night, and really got into it. If you guys haven't seen it before, I recommend it as a rental. Tennesse Williams was such a brilliant writer, and Elizabeth Taylor & Burl Ives were riveting, and Paul Newman - what eye candy!! Killer flick...

Today I saw 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp', which I've been wanting to see for ages. It's such a great film from such unpromising subject matter! Superbly constructed, original, well-written and intelligent, but with a kind of sentimental centre. Another Powell and Pressburger masterpiece. I'm also a little bit in love with the main character now (in his younger incarnation)...

Lotesse · 09-28-2005, 05:02 PM

Is that a new film, or one that I could rent?

sun-star · 09-28-2005, 05:05 PM

Probably not... It was made in 1943 (when Churchill tried to ban it - useful trivia

)

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Psycho by Hitchcock

Man, creepy stuff. First time I saw it. Pretty weird, and scary. But very good!

Spock · 09-29-2005, 06:41 AM

If you liked that, try to catch the original Haunting of Hill House. It's far scarier than that or it's remake.

Finrod Felagund · 09-29-2005, 10:53 AM

Ong Bak...sooooo cool!

Muay Tai is a cray martial art.

Spock · 09-29-2005, 12:26 PM

yeah and punishing as H***....personally I leave it to the Thais.

Rconsole · 09-29-2005, 05:03 PM

I saw Alexander...it was good in my opinion, but I can see how people got the impression he was gay

Lotesse · 09-29-2005, 05:21 PM

I HATED that ridiculous, stupid movie!! Who on EARTH was that unbelieveably absurd wanna-be "actor' in the title role? Oliver Stone has REALLY, really, really gone nuts and finally lost his magical artistic touch. Alexander was by FAR one of the worst films I have seen this year, by FAR. Ugh.

Finrod Felagund · 09-30-2005, 02:48 AM

I thought Val Kilmer and Angelina Jolie were the only good things about that movie.

TheCheat · 10-01-2005, 06:11 PM

Corpse Bride .. I really liked it, it was basic Tim Burton.

Lotesse · 10-02-2005, 12:46 AM

Dr. Strangelove. What a terrific Stanley Kubrick classic, and George C. Scott & Peter Sellars were both riveting, of course. This film was... the BOMB!!

*snickersnurkle*

Snowdog · 10-03-2005, 11:34 AM

Ah yes.. Strangelove!

I went the other way and watched George C. Scott & Kirk Douglas in the cold-war political paranoia thriller Seven Days in MAy which is about a military takeover of the United States government. Its a bit dated because public information distribution these days isn't limited to ABC, NBC, & CBS. Also... well, I dont want to give anything away...

Spock · 10-03-2005, 11:58 AM

The book "7 days in May" is even better.

BeardofPants · 10-04-2005, 01:30 AM

Sean of the Dead... it roxxors. I can't believe we didn't go see it at the movies.

***RÃan*** · 10-04-2005, 08:01 PM

Anyone seen the new Oliver Twist? I love Dickens, but am wary of film versions.

I have GOT to get Dr. Strangelove! I've tried before, but it's been out

I heard it was an extremely poor adaptation. (It got 2 stars)
