Solaris: MEGA YAWNS. I tried the Russian one. Kosmiche. Kosmichely slow as well.

Needs to fuck off to fuck. Heinlein just comes across as a cunt.

Loved the film though - Proper mindless dross.

fuck me some action on the film thread, thought no-one was watching anymore...

so, the old book- vs film debate can run and run, solaris clearly in Damos esteemed opinion better in book version,

whereas book of Starship is not so good,

keep it up filmengers

Switchblade Romance.

Tense as fook, French, and hardly any dialogue so subtitles don't get in the way of your wee tenterhooks. (Or if you're like most Lovefilm reviewers..."turned it on, found it had subtitles so didn't watch it".)

If you like REC. and the like, try this.

tango & cash 10.30 itv1

CYMBAL CRASH!

(was that a long enough wait?)

Peeping Tom is at the cinema, apparently! If anyone wants to see an incredible early sixties psychological chiller, then get your buns to the flicks tonight.

Bird on a Wire, BBC4. Not the Mel Gibson one...

Peeping Tom is a great film - remember watching late night on TV and being totally drawn in

Great filuhm.

I'm always sceptical about 'remakes', but this looks to be a very different take on the original film and book.

As a Graham Greene fan, I have to say I fancy it.

Oh, and thank God for Children in Need.

I'll donate a tenner, ignore the bleak telethon and watch a couple from my Hitchcock collection.

Nice idea. I need a plan tonight and think an evening reading the forum would just be too bleak :)

39 Steps here I come. Possibly turning into a Wrong Man double bill with North By North West.

Bloody Trailers. I've stopped watching them if I know i'm going to watch the film, because like that one, they show too much of the film/plot.

I read a bit of the synopsis and a couple of reviews and then decide. I'd rather I knew as little about the film as possible.
Watched 'Dead Man's shoes' thinking it was going to be a completely different film (got mixed up with something with Clive Owen in it) and decided this was the way forward.

Might try 'A prophet' tonight. Something about a bloke and prison, that's about as much as I know.

yeah i know what youre saying, there is way to much packed in that has to be included to sell the film, it has to sell the film -simple.
I just dont dig horror films.
Going to see stuff on a whim is great,
in fact just deciding last minute-yeah, then stopping in somewhere Leicester sq way and seeing what is just about to start is the best fun, pay,sit down, watching-yeah

...Might try 'A prophet' tonight. Something about a bloke and prison, that's about as much as I know.

It's fucking heavy! Watch it.

It's got one of my favourate on-scream rape scenes of all time.*

I do know what you mean about trailers. I always remember watching Changing Lanes and thinking, "Oh, great, that's basically a 2hr version of what I saw the other week." Whereas my mate really enjoyed it because he had no idea what was going to happen.

*This may or not be a joke.

I saw tonite "Machete" of Robert Rodrigues with DAnny Tejo.
Telenovela like movie that embrace everything what is a 80s "C" class movie
Funny and entertaining

Yes... i got nine....

Ghostbusters 2 - Five, now.

Evening sorted.

so dumb, good fun.

watched "a serbian film" yesterday. The title fits perfectly. Bad acting, highly predictable
story, laughable dialogue and milky, smeary Redcam footage. 5/10

better to have been adventurous and tried it in my book.
just got 'Another Year' this week, good old Jim

watched yesterday "the A-team", fun and entretaining, nothing special and of course no paying a penny for it.
and also, "the international" with Naomi Watts and Clive Owen, really good, but need to watched again in a couple of weeks, as it has so much in and outs that I few things still not clear in my head.

for tonite/tomorrow I have "Precious", "Harry Brown" and "Kick ass"

Watched "London Boulevard" on Sunday. Burning the tenner that it cost would've been immeasurably more entertaining. Colin Farrell has one of the least authentic accents in film history (like Sean Connery in Highlander) and Keira twice Knightly demonstrated why I think her best ever performance will be Atonement. Ray Winstone demonstrated just how one dimensional his abilities really are. The only impressive performance was that of David Thewlis and his portrayal of King of the Strung-out Rat Boys.

All in all it was a bit try-hard.

just watched "Zombieland" better than expected, and have a good laugh
