Films

Das Weisse Band - superb.

even better in digital, you can see the flecks of dust floating across the room, truly stunning.

^ You mean HD / blu-ray? Mmm good idea

I mean digital projection yes.

is there anyone online with any taste?
I just got kicked out of das kino for unknown security reasons...strangely enough just at the moment where Lang a.ka. b.liar has to fly to Washington in emergency during The Ghost Writer,
As we were getting kicked out I enquired loudly to the security guard "Is this part of the film"---
he didnt laugh,

aah, what happens next?

i saw the road the other day, good heavens it is scary.

i would also recommend that anyone who is with love film to cancel it and move to blockbuster. I recently found out you cant get any films made by Universal through love film and they pissed me off by never sending some films on my list. They actually send you the films you want on blockbuster

i saw the road the other day, good heavens it is scary.

If you like the film then try the book as it's much better (gets the horror of the situation over a lot better - that and it doesn't have Mike out of Neighbours in it).

Regarding trilogy I suggest The Pusher Trilogy, a long night.....

Best advice I've had in a long time. Just watched the first one. In a loose way it reminded me of every which way the wind blows, belgian film by bloke from deus

w@nking

ha, missed that!
there was a suspected chlorine leak, I know wtf?/

Saw 'Four lions' with a lively Holloway Road crowd last night, excellent satire, thought it was more slapstick than serious as a a whole. O.K film not amazing, last few scenes where they were all getting popped off were brilliantly paced though.

Finally got to watch 'Where the Wild Things Are', Sherlock Holmes, and Invictus.
I loved WtWTA and Sherlock Holmes.
Invictus was shit.

I watched RockNRolla last night, what a load of fuckin guff!

Did you expect anything less from a Shane Ritchie film?

Guy Richtea films are generally cack, as is virtually everything with the "actor" who calls himself Danny Dyer. Rumour has it that a sequel to "The Business" will happen. Not too sure whether Nick Love will have any involvement, but Tamer Hassan is in.

Stuck in Luton yesterday due to my flight being cancelled, and with a few hours to kill went to see Brooklyn's Finest - it was either that or Prince of Persia and I just could not bring myself to go see that.

Brooklyn's Finest wasn't actually that bad once you got over every stylistic cue and cliche from every Noo Yoik cop film you've ever seen - Cop wakes up sweating from bad dream in sparse room and reaches for a bottle of Whiskey - check (all that was missing was the ceiling fan/fade to chopper a la Apocalypse Now) - Irish-American Catholic iconography and confessional scene - check - Cop about to retire forced to take rookie cop on and show him the ropes - check - Cop working undercover doesn't know where the line between good/bad, his gangsta crew/colleagues is anymore -check - Cop turns bad and steals drug money to make better future for family - check.etc etc etc

Oh yeah - and best of all, a drug scene with White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane playing in the background.....ha ha....ha hahhhhhh ha haaaaah haaaah hah hah

Sometimes there are no other options but to sit in a theatre, that ^^ sounds like one of those times.

just returned from watching 'I am Love' in Italian with Tilda Swinton,
lush, sensual, superb film making, with a devastating denouement.Music very 'Glassian' too.

heres some news for those that seek quality,
maker of 'Belleville Rendevous' has followed with another animation just shown at Edinburgh, called 'The Illusionist'.

Likely to be the best watch autumn when released, details:-

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but trainspotting is pretty fucking good.
As is pulp fiction, this is england and velvia 50 (;

Choose life

wtf? ^

Yeah, Pulp Fiction? Never heard of it.

Sorry, I appreciate that someone will have metaphorically spunked all over Tarantino's classic in one of the previous 15 pages.
i just can't be fucked to read them.

And nobody has mentioned trainspotting in this thread, and that film is genius from start to end.

The Road

Gooood!

^^ book is far better (but slightly spolied if you've seen the film or vice versa)

i found the film version of 'the road' terrifying and just finished the book a couple of days ago. Not sure if I would say the book is that much better, it's a faithful translation from page to screen. I thought the book was less bleak as it mentions the communes, i'll be taking an overdose if it happens.

I thought the Hurt Locker was really not that good, certainly woefully lower quality than the Oscar awards it won would have you believe. Just standard gung-ho American bullshit.

I saw avatar the other day. THe first 90 mins is awful. Fight scenes are great tho
