Great choice, Najwa! Did you ever see the original six-part TV series from which the film was edited?Quote:

I just also don't understand how movies like "Shark Night 3D" makes it to theatres and this doesn't....whoever is in charge of these decisions needs a slap in the head
Wasn't quite what i had in mind, but....! :shrugQuote:

"Habemus Papem" - brilliant new Italian film about a newly elected Pope who has a panic attack and its aftermath. Funny, moving and very original.
Daybreakers. Couldn't really get into it. The idea was interesting: the world is overrun by vampires. But the movie was a bit too slow... and, well, kinda tedious.
Daybreakers- Trailer - YouTube
Whereas John Carpenter's Vampires is quite good:

I've been meaning to watch it - is it worth the time?Quote:

A Serbian Film - thanks for recommending Dino. It's a disturbing but I think very good movie. Seems like the director watched 8MM and decided to turn it up a notch althoug his bad guy isn't quite as good as Dino Velvet!
Die Welle - a good psychological study if somewhat predictable and cliche'd. Somewhat of a Germanic version of Lord of the Flies in my opinion
Sarah's Key - absolutely brilliant and yet another outstanding performance by Kristen Scott Thomas
Cold Fish - Dino you should watch this Japanese movie!
if you're a fan of banksy or have an interest in street art, yes.Quote:

Contagion - It was ok. The movie started on day two and ended with what happened on day one. Like a Quenton Tarentino movie.
Hannah. :)
The thing I still haven't quite figured out about "Exit Through The Gift Shop" (which is really excellent) is if the American artist in it is a complete fabrication by Banksy or genuine.
The Daparted, love that film, watched it many times. Jack Nicholson is brilliant in it.
it's a hoax.Quote:

The Trip - Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Droll omnibus of the tv series.
Two more - "Tinker, Talior, Soldier, Spy" - brilliant though I am ure that most people will have no idea what is going on most of the time.
"Melancholia" - Lars von Trier's newest film with Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsburg. A bleak, bleak and haunting masterpiece about the end of the world.
Hoping to see Tinker Tailor next week. Five star review from Bradshaw in the Grauniad, and they are handed out very parsimoniously indeed.Quote:

Good fit with my music in that case.Quote:

The Whistleblower - muddled and dull

Mysterious Skin - depressing but well-done. think Lolita from the victims' point of view.....
Prospero, how does Tinker Tailor compare to the tv version with Alec Guinness?
I watched some oldies this week: Tarkovsky's Mirror; Bergman's Summer with Monika; and two films by Ozu Late Spring and Early Summer. The Ozu and the Bergman, in their own ways, are about family love and the fate of young women -I can't imagine Ozu would ever comprehend the emotional anarchy of Summer with Monika -two interesting contrasts, the excessively controlled Japanese environment compared to restless youth in Sweden. There is a moment when Harriet Andersson suddenly looks staight into the camera, defiant, insolent, challenging -she was in her late teens when she filmed it and again, is poles apart from Setsuko Hara, Ozu's principal female muse -I can't fault either of them, they have been among my most favourite screen females for decades, but the scene shot at the No theatre in Late Spring is devastating, Ozu has the power to do that in a brief moment -and again, the moment when Harriet Andersson dies in Cries and Whispers is profound. I could go on about these two genii for hours.
"Exit Through The Gift Shop" is exquisitely cunning. A great mockumentary. I was hooked from the start. Cheers for sharing this, whoever it was:Bowdown:Quote:
