That's a Michael Winterbottom film is'nt it? That guy is one of the most interesting British directors around. Have you seen CODE 46 by him. Excellent film.

It is and I have not, but might...;)

anybody see sweeney todd?

i thought it was stupid as ****, but i wanna see someone else's opinions.

I thought Sweeny Todd was great fun. I loved that they kept the lyrics from the play instead of trying to Hollywoodize it.

I agree with that statement


I also saw Walk Hard ,, save your money and don't go. I went in with a open mind that it would be funny but I was disappointed

An interesting, if unoriginal first hour is ruined by an uninspiring last 20 mins.One genuinely disgusting scene which even I got freaked out on, and that's saying something! To then find out it was directed by Roland Joffe (THE KILLING FIELDS/THE MISSION) made it even worse. What a fall from grace!

I quite enjoyed it, one of my good friends enjoyed it so much that she had the lyrics memorized in like a day and a half, which was pretty impressive, so no I didn't think it was as stupid as ****.

I probably won't be seeing that movie with the review that you just gave it. Pretty brutal man.

TALK RADIO (1988)
http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/i...dio_(1988).jpg

The lost Oliver Stone film (PLATOON/WORLD TRADE CENTRE). This small intimate low budget film was based on a stage play which in turn was loosely based on the story of talk show host Alan Berg who was shot dead by white supremacists in 1984. Eric Bogosian (who also co-wrote) delivers a tour-de-force as the radio talk show host whose battle with his listeners and his own tortured soul descends into tragedy. Mainly shot superbly within the confines of a radio studio, the film touches upon many themes-loneliness, madness, love, self loathing and the transient notion of celebrity. I first saw it over ten years ago and loved it. I got another chance to see it tonight and it still blew me away. If you are looking for something that little more cerebral, watch TALK RADIO.

Redacted: brutal honesty
 
I recently saw the Brian De Palma flick Redacted, which is based almost directly off of events that occurred during the Iraq War.
I hear it's generally a rule of Hollywood that to play a bad guy on screen, you have to be a pretty good guy in real life. I think it's that to be seen in that light, people who are actually mean don't want to be seen in that light, whereas good honest people want to be genuine, and want to let the world know that there are evils out there.
The 2 main characters in this movie are 2 guys you just love to hate. They exemplify American machoism as they rave about getting into a 14 year old Iraqois virgin panties. The only problem is that they have to break into her house, murder her family, then rape her, then burn her body. The actors pull this off, seemingly without any remorse. You can hardly believe that anyone could commit these crimes without being under great stress, and experiencing some sort of dementia, but they do it all with smiles on their faces. So to me, this wasn't just a war biopic. It was a telling of the stress of war in general to men, but also a story of brutal American nature. We will take what we want, and if you don't like it. we will use force.

Saw transformers last night, great effects as promised. The plot wasn't exactly the thickest but ****, it's transformers. They definitely did better than what I was expecting.

This still remains one of my favorite films of all time. Good shout mate.

I went out and bought The Odd Couple the other night, having always heard it's a great comedy, and being a big Simpsons fan, I heard that the Lemmon/Matthau relationship was the basis for the Simpson/Flanders relationship, so i had to check it out.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the acting was, and how real they portrayed the characters. I've never been big on old school comedy. I don't get into 3 stooges, or Mash, or really anything, but I've got to say I really enjoyed this movie, it was just laugh-a-minute stuff, and it reminds you more of comedies today, with it's complete honesty. Which also makes you realize it had to have been a big inspiration for more of the comedies today.

Mockingbird! 01-12-2008 01:26 AM

the book is about a million times scarier
i thought the movie didnt even do it justice
with the exception of tim curry being the clown

Kevorkian Logic 01-13-2008 05:18 PM

I doubt I could handle the book considering my fear of clowns. I had to sleep with all the lights on last night and some other stuff which I'm just not going to elaborate on. I'm a ****ng girl when it comes to clowns, spiders, and sharks.

Ventriloquists dummies used to freak me out.

I mean...wtf??? ^

Kevorkian Logic 01-13-2008 05:25 PM

The white makeup and the gloves and the giant painted smile. Everything is just so artificial and unreal. It gives me the shivers just thinking about one coming towards me to, especially to give me a hug. A clown tried to hug me once when I was much younger and I broke out into hysterical tears. Now I just avoid them.

UNKNOWN (2007)
http://media.movieweb.com/dvd_art/full/48/115148.jpg

What starts off as a SAW rip off (five men wake up in a warehouse with no recollection of how they got there) quickly degenerates into an average thriller with a couple of predictable twists. Bland.

lucylamppost 01-15-2008 03:47 PM

I just saw juno and i hated it

Kevorkian Logic 01-15-2008 03:55 PM

Return of the Jedi (I wonder if the movie didn't have lightsabers if it would be popular at all?)
tsotsi
Last King of Scotland

I still have'nt got around to watch TSOTSI. I am looking forward to this one.

Kevorkian Logic 01-15-2008 04:07 PM

Great acting, worth a go around.

swim 01-15-2008 06:08 PM

I thought Juno was hilarious. I lowelld the whole way through. I only went in the first place because they used like 6 Kimya Dawson, a few Moldy Peaches and an Antsy Pants Song.

Lizzie 01-15-2008 07:25 PM

I saw Juno, and I absolutly loved Ii! it was Candadian, so i automatically loved it, but it also had great acting, was very sweet, and very funny. One of the best ive seen all year id say:)
