The US movie remake of the BBC TV series "State of Play". Too compressed but decent enough thriller.

I watched a film called Anal Games III
Lots of spunk in it, not to mention bottoms
It's ok, but Russell Crowe will never be as good as John Simm, and Helen Mirren doesn't get the opportunity to do with her role what Bill Nighy did in the BBC serial. It was one of the most gripping things on TV for a long time when it first appeared. Paul Abbott is quite a writer.Quote:

Great job by Fassbender and a really good story but left me feeling a little uncomfortable. Should give many in a place like this something to think about.
George Harrison: Living in the Material World. It's an in-depth and very interesting documentary about the former Beatle, directed by Martin Scorsese. It doesn't just cover the Beatle years, but also his childhood and his post-Beatle career, as well as his lifelong spiritual quest. Aired on HBO last fall, and released on DVD here in the States on Tuesday. I definitely recommend it.

I agree. it's interesting how Scorsese has got into music documentaries. He did a good film on Dylan a couple of years ago and a Stones in concert film. But this is the best.

He made The Last Waltz 30+ years ago, and has used rock/pop music to great effect in a number of his movies (Mean Streets, Goodfellas). Shine A Light, the Rolling Stones concert film you mentioned, is the shit. That might be the best concert film I've ever seen. I'll have to check out the Dylan film.
Darn I forgot the Last Waltz. That was terrific too.
