I tried to watch this one recently too but i had to turn it off. I was so bored. Maybe it picked up after that but it wasn't doing anything for me.

I watched this on the BBC last night:

Great cast and i loved it. Can't believe i had never seen it before actually.

Yeah The Rock is one of the few Michael Bay movies I actually enjoy, mostly because of Sean Connery.

Anyhow I decided to watch this last night for some unknown reason:

John Carpender's In the Mouth of Madness which was pretty decent in all truth and honesty. Sam Neil played lead character John Trenton and I think made a pretty convincing effort, however he was hindered by female lead, Julie Carmen. The film definitely looks dated though as far as horror films go, but I won't hold that against the movie too much.

The plot seemed to be a little inconsistent, relying too heavily on those "it didn't really happen" or "and then he woke up" sequences to make it far too confusing to tell whether everything was just reality or fiction. I know that's the whole premise of the movie and it was fine for awhile but towards the end it seemed like those were just convenient excuses rather than plot devices.

The movie does a good job paying homage to the greatest horror author ever to live, H.P. Lovecraft, but I think they could have utilized his writing a little bit more. I've always wanted to see a higher production adaptation of his work and this is probably the closest it's ever come.

All in all I was quite surprised by the movie, it didn't really shake the foundation of what is reality the way other movies have, but it was still a noble effort none the less.

Invictus
Pretty decent, if a tad worthy take on the 1995 Rugby World Cup, although the St Nelson Mandela aspect of it isn't entirely convincing.

Citizen Kane. It's an amazing film. The music and cinematography are beautiful.

I saw it last night for the first time in like three years. It held up quite well. Very funny and kind of moving.

I also saw Mulholland Drive again, just as good.

Just got back from seeing this. Great flick, great ending, great cast.

i wasn't referring to the quality of titanic. more about the shadow it cast on his career for a while after it. for the next few movies he was in people were like "oh, that douche from titanic is cashing in on its success". most people have figured out he is good by now.

just saw this as well. i was on the edge of my seat most of the movie. i really liked it. i especially liked the scene where arthur was fighting in the hotel, but it was solid throughout.

I know what you meant, people think he used Leo-mania (a load of teenage girls wanting to mount him.) to springboard himself and think less of him for it. It's just like Robert Pattinson getting a load of success off the back of Twilight, the difference is Leo has had acting ability ever since he was a teen. I think he used Titanic to propel himself, he shook the posterboy image around 2002 and he never looked back. I don't know how anyone can't like him, he's a great actor AND he seems like a great guy. Always seems polite and talks with such passion for what he does. I have a lot of love for Leo.

i dont think just because it's a self-reflexive narrative in this postmodern age it can be chalked down to Kaufman, it's better: Coogan doing the kind of naturalistic tragic/comic acting he excels at and we are normally only priveleged to on the small screen. Hopefully we will not be exposed to any more demeaning Hollywood roles and he will get back to doing what he does best. And i really think Winterbottom is the bee's knees, although i've not see the new one wiv all da wimmim killing an that
