Charity shop finds

Now that's one i did buy. Great film, great price, Stephen.

Is that first one Alien Hunter? Pretty decent film. Spader stars with his wife (Leslie Stefanson), and previously starred together in the excellent The Stickup, directed by Rowdy Herrington.

It is. I caught it on tv last year or the year before, and really enjoyed it. Another one I like, and I know some who really hate it, is Elizabethtown starring Orlando Bloom and kirsten Dunst.

How can anyone hate a film with Kristen Dunst?!

I haven't seen Elizabethtown, i'll have to check it out. I love films like this. It doesn't have to be blood and guts all the time. Thanks Stephen.

I recommend Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist if you haven't seen that.

Look forward to your thoughts, its been a while but i really like it.

Cheers.

No idea when i'll watch it. Hopefully next weekend so it's part of Sci-Fi September.

Elizabethtown is the only film I have watched at the cinema and left before the credits rolled. I probably lasted about 40 minutes before realising I hated everything about the film and would have done myself physical harm if I stayed.

I detested both main characters, the dialogue was appalling, the setup even worse, the direction inept, and I didn't care whether anyone lived or died. I have never felt that way about any films since, including the Transformers films.

I second Demdike's recommendation of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and really like (500) Days of Summer (the soundtrack is excellent if you like listening to film soundtracks).
