What I have watched recently:
Children of Men - Loved it!
Stranger Than Fiction - Love the concept of the movie
Sherrybaby - stars Maggie Gyllenhaal about a chick just gets out of prison and tries to get her life back on track, it's alright

All a matter of opinion i suppose. I loved the Prestige and thought Talladega Nights and Miami Vice were two of the worst films i have ever seen. ever.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 11:51 am

yeah georgia u are right. i'm not a massive hugh jackman fan and pretty much found the entire movie to be a little bland tbh.

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 11:57 am

Miami Vice was pissweak IMO. Dragged myself through it though...now I have less brain space for more important things.

depends on your point of view i suppose. i'm in it more for the excellent way its shot and the locations rather than the acting and plot. Michael Mann is a reknowned perfectionist and it shows in the way each shot is constructed.

Colin Farell is a douche however. I do like Jamie Fox.

I also thought Miami Vice was pretty shit. Did look nice though. Had Mogwai - Auto Rock in the soundtrack too, in a spot that was well placed, which was the only thing that got me excited really. I fucking love that song, as with most mogwai songs.

Yes, it was alright, animation was interesting.

Didn't like this one AT ALL. Gave up and left the room halfway through the movie. The dialogue was mostly boring and I was over the animated effects after 30 mins. I tried, but it lost me.

Polecat · Post by **Polecat** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 12:10 pm

Saw an advanced screening of Paris Je T'aime on Sunday. I really really liked this film. It's one of those ones with multiple directors telling multiple different stories about a city, but you don't know which director did what.... the stories just flow one to the other with small links.

Some of the directors and cast included:
Directors - Coen brothers, Wes Craven, GÃ©rard Depardieu, Tom Tykwer, Gus Van Sant and other international directors

Actors - Steve Buscemi, Juliette Binoche, Ludivine Sagnier, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Bob Hoskins, Emily Mortimer, Natalie Portman, GÃ©rard Depardieu, Gena Rowlands plus heaps more.

There's some english, some subtitles. Highly recommended!!

script to both comments.

i even bought a new TV on saturday just to do children of men justice...
my old one was flicking from too light to too dark, so we went and purchased a flat screen, and then children of men was AWESOME.

im also hooked on the dvd's of the 4400

hooked...

and im not one for unresolved endings, but after that movie, it was okay to not really know what happened next, as the whole way along everything they were counting on was unknown...

amazing visuals, amazing acting.
mind blowing idea of wehat could happen in the future.

im looking forward to 28moths later or whatever the sequel to 28days later is called.

the end is extremely fucking nigh. (best tagline for a movie ever)

Old Boy was one of the best films i saw last year.

Went and saw The Host on Friday night.

South Korean films FTW. Great monster flick. Very funny and had great mood.

I don't get why everyone is saying the ending was unresolved? it was only unresolved insofar as we didn't get to see what happened to the world for the rest of eternity, and as such the same thing could be said of every movie ever made.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 2:14 pm

no i guess the ending reolution would juat have been to KNOW what the human project was, and if it would have saved humanity from extinction.

thas all...

PahMaLa · Post by **PahMaLa** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 2:15 pm

If anything when a movies is "unresolved" I think it better because it's more thought provoking - well thats my opinon anyways.
I think Children Of Men was well done.

Rob M · Post by **Rob M** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 2:42 pm

I think the propagation of the species was a final resolution of sorts in children of men.
