I had the miss-fortune of watching Moulin Rouge last night for the first time. How can people like this movie? It's and over rayed piece of dog poopy. Big thumbs down.

I have tried to watch it many times, and failed. The same goes for Baz Lurmann's Romeo + Juliette thing Bordom personified!

Watching Nightmare again - same old trajectory, brilliant first 30 minutes, full of deranged atmosphere, sleazy locations and a great shock kill scene, then a rank rotten next 40 mins or so haunted by that little shit CJ, a bearded lothario and some dull psychiatrists. Thankfully things perk up again in the closing straight and we're soon knee deep in raspberry sauce. It's part of a great horror movie this but falls way short of the classic status bestowed on it by nostalgia struck horror buffs.

I actually quite liked Baz Luhrmann's Australia and, though I've only seen it once (and that was years ago), thought Romeo + Juliet worked quite well - it's a film I'd like to see again. I'm open to different interpretations of Shakespeare's plays and, on the stage, I've seen Macbeth where the soldiers wear army fatigues and carry machine guns and a weird version of Romeo and Juliet where the the titular couple were in wheelchairs!

I think Moulin Rouge is excellent. But I digress... Destroy All Monsters - always one of my favourite 60's God zilla flicks, to see this on Tokyo Shock's wonderful Blu-Ray was glorious. Excellent "mod" futuristic fashions and sets, and a some top SF action ("Fire the maser cannons!"). And monsters. Loads of monsters. Wonderful. The Return Of Godzilla - by 1984 things were different at Toho. This reboot of the series is dark and bleak, in a Cold War setting with some discussion of nuclear weapons issues that you may find harrowing if you lived through the 70s and 80s (the Russians and Americans trying to get the Japanese to agree to allow a nuclear strike on Godzilla on Japanese soil, I found genuinely moving - evoking the spectres of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and with some very dignified acting from Keiju Kobayashi as the Japanese Prime Minister). Comic relief is very light on the ground, and even the single "clown" character ends up making a deep impassioned speech. It's a powerful entry to the series and is (intentionally) very reminiscent of the original "Godzilla" from 1954. Very highly recommended. |

AAAnyway......watched Centurion (Neil Marshall, 2010). liked. lovely use of scenery belies the savagery portrayed in this actioner, historically forget it but some great skirmish scenes make up for this, a slightly draggy romantic subsubplot slows it up for a second but i still recommend this, great to spot all the english thesps as well BETTER THAN DOOMSDAY imo. tonight either The Woman in Black or Jess Franco's Count Dracula....
