I made Charlie give me a copy of the soundtrack ;) Alcar... |
I just saw My Neighbor Totoro a few hours ago, I can't believe I sat through a ninety minute movie without a single point of conflict and didn't get bored.
|
Cat Bus.
|
First thought: Disappointment. I had been hoping for a re-enactment of key scenes from Shortbus, by cats.
Second thought: Those Japanese animators have got it freaking easy. How many shots had absolutely no movement or change, apart from the rain? Third thought: That was freaking awesome. Win! |
I own 'My Neighbor Totoro' and have always loved it. One of my favorites.
|
Just watched Constantine. It was okay. I like the Comics much better though, and Somehow Keanu Reeves came across as even more static than I thought possible.
|
Just saw episode 5 of Dollhouse. A couple of weeks ago I’d have called this show Dullhouse, but now it can’t be anything other than Rapehouse. So much rape.
|
I just watched DuckTales to see what my nephew's going on about. It is fairly well written for a children's cartoon.
I have also been watching Blackadder. Comedy fucking gold. |
Did it help you to get the theme tune unstuck from your head?
|
Sweeney Todd was an excellent film, singing or no singing. Sin City is probably my favorite film. I watched Bourne Ultimatum last night. Too much camera wobble, but it was good.

Just watched Baghead. It fucking blew. Low production values usually don't bother me at all, but this movie made my eyes and teeth hurt.
I mean, fuck. What kills me even more is that it's being praised on IMDB as a great indie movie. Indie? Really? Renting something from fucking blockbuster kind of knocks it out of the indie category, I thought. Had I rented it from netflix or some other online source that carries obscure titles, sure. But not blockbuster. /bitchfest |
IMDB is bullshit 90% of the time.
|
Schindler's List.
Kingsley and Nelson are the best actors ever. |
I just watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time in ten years and cried at the end. I'm such a softy :D and I can't remember the last time I felt so good watching a movie.
|
I'll say nothing. That's best.
|
Watchmen. I liked it.
|
Saw Coraline. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Not for the kiddies, surprisingly.
|
I just watched Kung-Pow for the second time. Then I came back here to write about it and found that Kastere already put the most relevant quote from the movie into his signature.
Creepy. :
|
Taken, good action movie, I liked it. Also saw most of the Shawshank Redemption, excellent movie.
|
Watchmen.
I have no idea what I thought of it. |
Liam Neeson was kick-ass in Star Wars :D
I was quite impressed when I watched a trailer for the Death Note movie. It looks about a million times better than any other comic book adaptation. |
In the last couple of weeks I have watched:
Watchmen - Really enjoyed, not as much as TDK though. The Godfather - Wow. Marlon Brando is incredible. Can't wait to see the second. The Last Temptation of Christ - Interesting take on the classic tale. Good stuff. American History X - Only the second film I've seen Edward Norton in, but I think he's incredible. I both hated and was compelled by his character. Rocky - Good to finally see what has been parodied so many times. In context, probably my favourite musical theme for a movie. I couldn't quite work out if Rocky was retarded or funny for a lot of the movie, but I liked him by the end. Being John Malkovich - Weeeird. But cool! Didn't recognise Cameron Diaz for a while, and didn't recognise John Cusack until near the end when I was told. Very cool concept. |
I saw a few films over the weekend.
Hamlet 2: The last act was the best part. Over all it was good, but not on par with Steve Coogan's previous efforts. Beerfest: It was okay, I guess. Nothing special. Edmond: Fucking fantastic. David Mamet always writes quality shit and William H. Macy was tremendous in it. I recommend. |
I saw the whole of The Princess Bride a couple of days ago and I must say I am simply blown away. How anything can be that cheesy and still pull off being epic to the nth degree is unreasonable.

The last thing I'd do in respect to the cheesiness factor of that movie would be complain about it.
Must read book next. |

I just saw The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. I cried.
|
I really want to see that.
