The Ladykillers (1955) Better than Coen's 2004 remake.

Go (1999) Sarah Polly and Katie Holmes. It was ok. The Vegas part reminded me a lot of The Hangover actually.

Agreed.


I just watched Charlie Bartlett and it was alright, it was kind of illogical and required me to suspend my disbelief. It actually reminded me of Juno...a totally unrealistic film that was enjoyable because it was quirky.

Perhaps this is an emerging "indie" genre, the Quirky Teen Film genre.

Down Periscope. Not seen for years, still just as funny as it ever was

Watch in HQ -

Slumdog Millionaire, 9/10.
Great movie, although watching the hard life of some big cities can be painful.

[Fox 6]

Munich was on TV today. I had watched it when I was 15 or 16 and forgot most of it.

Tonight I watched an old classic that I have not seen in the best part of a decade. Glad I did watch it to, I was not disappointed, I think this film is great.

Romancing The Stone - Starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito.

Novelist Joan Wilder recieves a mysterious package from her sisters murdered husband. Inside is a map, leading to buried treasure. And as you can imagine a plethora of villians are after the map and hold her sister hostage in order to try and get the map from Joan. Que - adventure / romance story that entails.

Tomorrow night I will watch the sequal, The Jewel Of The Nile.

Push... you would think a movie with special powers would be interesting.

It was like watching paint dry for almost two hours.

[The Germanator]

I watched The Elephant Man last night.

I thought it was beautifully done. It felt like a film made in the golden age of Hollywood. Great acting, beautiful black and white, and extremely touching without going over the top. It makes you think a lot about what Joseph Merrick (called John in the film, which is a mistake I guess) really had to go through in his life. Very good.

Waterworld.

But if you want a real version of it, that's better than the directors cut. The 'director' of which was kevin Costner who bought the rights to it and cut loads of shit out. (He was not the origional director)

You need to do a torrent search, it is the only way as there is no 'official' full lengh version, and look for 'Waterworld The Ulysses Cut' a version of which I have added to Demonoid.

I understand it is not perhaps normally acceptable to write this kind of thing on here but for this film it really does deserve an exception.

The Ulysses Cut is a fan made cut and a lot of time and effort has gone into it

The Company of Wolves

Most boring movie about werewolves I've seen.

[Angrist]

O' Horten. 7/10.
Norwegian art movie about a man who retires from his job as a railroad engineer. Funny, but could/should have been better. Oh, the icy weather was nice.

[Teuthida]

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Not a good movie. That's a given. But it also wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, which is a shame. Chris Klein's horrible overacting made it worth the watch though. My goodness he was bad. Some other unintentional funny bits as well.

[Jonbo298]

Finally watched Gran Torino last night. I loved it even though it has a big emphasis on Clint being "racially biased" but with the background he has in the film, it makes sense and didn't bother me.

[Angrist]

Rescue Dawn. 7/10.

I don't usually like war movies, but this was pretty good. It helped that it was based on a real story.

Joe Versus the Volcano

Good existential film. And you get a very pretty Meg Ryan in three different roles as a blond, brunette, and red head. I want some orange soda now.
