Finally watched Some Kind of Monster just now. Not sure if it was worth the massive wait but i got a few laughs out of it and i'm enjoying some good old riffage right now. Does anyone else find that they watch a doc about a band and end up listening to them for the next week obsessively?

Watching it now... yikes.

Alphaville is awesome. Have you seen 8 1/2 yet Molecules?

possibly saw it in a film lecture many moons ago. that's Fellini right? and i'm an idiot for not knowing straight away?

i loved the mustaine/ulrich therapy session, hilarious. you just know he'd been spraying mouthfuls of whisky on their pictures for the last 20 years

smart people was suprisingly good. i think it's just because i like the dood from sideways, and he's in it too.

Saw both of these yesterday...


Heavenly Creatures
9/10

Long before Peter Jackson made the Lord of the Rings movies he made this fucked up, based on a true story drama about the obsessive relationship between two teenage girls from Christchurch New Zealand and the murder it lead to. This was the movie that first made people take notice that Jackson might be more than just a gore-comedy prankster and also Kate Winslet's big screen debut. I've been meaning to see it since I was first turned on to Peter Jackson by The Frighteners and this movie definitely did not disappoint.


Menace II Society
9/10

Another movie I've been meaning to see for years. Great movie, though holy crap was it depressing. It has a reputation for being a much more cynical Boyz n the Hood and I'd say that's a pretty accurate description. Also noteworthy for being both the Hughes brothers' first movie as well as Jada Pinkett's debut. Highly recommended but don't expect to be in a chipper mood afterward.

This is one of 2 Die Hard movies i've seen (the other being Die Hard with a Vengance) and wow it was a very great action moive, Brue Willis shows that you can never be too old to kick ass.

You've never seen the first one? I'd really recommend checking it out. It's far superior to the others IMO.

I saw The Shawshank Redemption the other night:


Spoiler Alert:

It was the 1st time I've seen it since it was in the theaters. I really felt for Andy: He had to deal with so much as an innocent man, but I was so happy that in the end he got his revenge not only on Warden Norton, but Hadley as well for giving him a really hard time when he first arrived in that Maine prison. I liked Red alot too: Him and Andy were the epitome of the word "friendship." The ending was so sweet when Andy left Red the funds to meet him in that seaside town in Mexico. I shed some tears.

Shawshank is one of my favorite movies of all time. Always makes me cry, despite the fact it is a rather happy ending... but ****, all the stuff those guys go through, y'know?... Red was my favorite character in the movie. Red is ****ing awesome. He's achieved redemption and he's still a wise-crackin' bad ass. Reminds me of my grandfather, a recovering-alcoholic (30some years now) with a razor-sharp tongue ha.
