Tonight I watched the first of Roger's outings as Bond Live and let die perhaps my favourite Bond. |
Just watched Samsara, blown away the imagery and the music is top notch, made me feel proper humble too, most people in this world have it much worse than us westerners! |

A Smell of Honey, A Swallow of Brine - Words cannot describe how badly I want to punch Sharon in the face. COSDS Review |
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 2012 NZ/US DL Peter Jackson Whilst not a total disaster of a film, it is a mess. It is not a good film. Pacing is all over the place, it is the clumsiest collection of shoddy set pieces strung together by anger-inducingly dull scenes of people walking through "beautiful scenery", the wrong scenes go on far too long, Jackson seems desperate to tie everything back to the LOTR flicks (like we don't realise it's all part of the same thing) and - once again - Tolkien's considerable flaws as a writer are hugely amplified once up on the screen. As a cinema experience: well the spectacle scenes you have seen before and the 3D is pointless. A film you can either happily ignore or wait till it shows up on disk. |
Berberian Sound Studio - 2012 UK d: Peter Strickland Extremely witty absurdist comedy piece that gets darker as it goes along. Evocative of Beckett, Poe and Polanski, it is an expertly made and very measured bit of silliness. It rather runs out of steam right at the end, but the journey has been so wonderful one is inclined to forgive this. Pleasingly fetishistic with regards to (now) vintage audio technology, the unassuming camerawork acts as a counterpoint to the - frankly exceptional, as one might expect - sound. Superb performances all around and some healthy cynicism adds contempt for a world of film we revere, perhaps, too highly. Magnificent film-making and tremendously amusing whilst never "laugh out aloud" funny more than a couple of times. Wit. Genuine wit. |

TRAILER PARK BOYS. Comedy genius, the boys get out of prison (again) and decide to start ripping off loose change, all the while Ricky must try and win back lucy whose become a lap dancer, and julian has fallen for one of her co-workers. The pair and their buddy bubbles must also contend with mr lahey (as drunk as ever) and cheesburger eating randy. Probably the best £1.99 I ever spent in a charity shop! |

Eden Lake - genuinely scary and unnerving due to its portrayal of violence. Does the whole violence begets violence thing and nice people turning hostile for survival really well with a neat nod to Last House on the Left at the end. I didn't find the politics of it too problematic but I guess I chose not to believe that the filmmarkers were implying the gang and their family were representative of their class (although the overwhelmingly positive Daily Mail review is concerning). Bleak ending too and I still don't think I'm forgiven by my girlfriend for watching it with her yesterday Jackie Brown - still one of my favourite Tarantino films and the only one with characters you really care about. Even at two and a half hours it doesn't outstay its welcome and the twisty-turny plot is fantastically written. Some excellent long shots in it too especially the execution of Beaumont and the tracking shots in the mall near the end. |

As always, an excellent use of your time, and Twitch of the Death Nerve is a great "intro" to Bava imo. :) |

Last night I watched West of Memphis. The documentary on the West Memphis 3 murders. Very interesting and well made doc! I used to follow the story quite well but over the course of making the film and new trail I lost track and this was done well in how the first 45 mins was a intro into what happened back in 1993 and then it goes onto the trail and then the new trail on freeing the wrongly accused. Now some people still think they were guilty but I am not one of those people. |
Watched a couple of episodes of due south now watching return of the living dead. |
I used to love Due South... before they changed the character who played Ray. |
Watched The Reptile (1966) both Sunday night and last night, fell asleep thirty minutes in both times, this doesn't mean it's a bad film, I'm just very sleepy at the moment. In fact I'm heading to bed now to watch something that I will most likely fall asleep to. |

The Grey.....I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. If you are a fan of snow, wolves(not your Twilight wolves) ;) and survival then you will enjoy this movie. Liam Neeson was great, and I thought the last scene was epic:pop2: Dredd....watched this for the second time and in 2d this time. I enjoyed it again and am happy to say that it doesn't look like a made for 3d film converted to 2d. This is how all movies should be made so that there isn't any silly things flying out the screen which just look pathetic in 2d. |

I thought The Reptile was great! Much better than Rasputin the Mad Monk (which I think it was doubled with). I hope you manage to watch it when you're less sleepy. |

Yes the reptile is a great little movie, here it is nearly 1900 and already wrapped up in bed |

After a day off yesterday I continued my journey through my Bond boxset with The man from the golden gun Moore's second outing as Bond and another solid entry in the canon. 5 entries to go, unfortunately I am rapidly approaching the 80's when the franchise lost its way. |

He was a rubbish James Bond, in my opinion, even if he was the one with whom I grew up. |

It wasn't him staring at a wolf was it? I thought the film on the whole was a huge let down. Frozen was a far superior snow / wolf survival horror. But that's just me. |
Liam Neeson punched a bear in the face. Your argument is now invalid. |
