i'm with dino. were you forced to see this film?
Hey Sukumvit, thanks for reminding me about Alone In the Wilderness. To those who have no idea, I saw it in NY on public television a few years ago and it is perhaps the most remarkable document of an independent spirit I have ever seen. NO bullshit, no fanfare...I need a shovel so I'll make one, I need a house so I'll make one, I need food so I'll make some. The part where he makes a complicated lock for his cabin out of wood to confound the bears is worth the price of admission.
Hmm Dino, you think Tom Cruise is weird?? Sad but true I actually like most of the MI films as entertainment (no 2 isn't so hot).Quote:

Two most recent films...
"Mean Streets" - revisiting the wonderful old Martin Scorsese movie with one of the earliest screen apearences by Robert Di Niro. Wears its age well.
And a documentary "The World According To Dick Cheney" which by gently interviewing the former VP and looking at his professional life lays bare just what an appalling and sinister figure he was.
Mean Streets is one of the best US films of the 1970s, one of the best films ever made, and Scorsese's finest. I knew someone once who said that to him it was like opera.

today i overheard some guy say about oblivion "i slept during the entire movie". not sure why, but i felt like sharing this here
Last show - I post it here though it isn't a movie - was "The book Of Mormon" - new to the london stage after becoming a huge hit on Broadway. It is written by the guys behind South Park. Very ribald, very disrespectful of Mormonism, but not necessarily of religion per se, and really quite childish. (Some accuse it of racism too. I let them off on that since everyone is totally ridiculed and disrespected.) If you enjoy the total rudeness of South park, you'll love this. I recently watched the South Park movie and thought it just too dumb. This show is great fun.
Want to see this documentary at some point. Looks quite interesting.

Just watched the A-team. It was a good shoot me up movie. But not much more.
Millions (2004) Official Trailer - YouTube
It's not my favorite Boyle film but it's still quality.
From Hell, an excellent movie about Jack the Ripper, starring Johnny Depp.
Just starting to watch it. Quite funny.

watched the blu-ray of Take Shelter last night. had never seen it before. it was pretty good.
Mel Brook's masterpiece "Blazing Saddles".
Then again, anything Mel does is brilliant, even his bad movies.
Two new films last night...
"Flying Blind" a low key and rather predictable little film about an aeronautical engineer Helen McRory who meets and gets involved with an Algerian "student." The romance is not credible and the storyrline and its outcome very predictable. Good acting though.
FLYING BLIND Official UK Trailer - in cinemas 12th April - YouTube
And "Promised Land" an overly sentimentalised story about a company coming to a tiny town in rural American (Pennsylvania I think) to try and sell the community the idea of how rich they'll become if they sell the rights to allow fracking. A nice story well told - with a good twist. Directed by Gus Van Sant with Matt Damon and Francis McDormand.

The most absolutely awesome and must see movie ever hands down "Bram Stokers Dracula"
Project X
Fun teenage folks out of town party gets out of control flick.
Been done many times but this version had a few twists and was pretty funny.

The Bank Job (Roger Donaldson, 2008)
The real life robbery at Lloyd's Bank in 1971 is ranked as one of the most lucrative and enigmatic crimes of the era. The thieves targeted the safety deposit boxes many of whose owners declined to make a claim or reveal what they had inside them. Because it is alleged a 'D' Notice (a govt request to the press not to publish a story for reasons of 'national security') was issued that stopped the press from reporting the incident, a mystique has grown up, fuelled by suspicions that there were incriminating photos of Princess Margaret taking part in a Caribbean orgy in one of the boxes. Donaldson has therefore wrapped up the core robbery with a spooky plot in which the slum landlord, pimp and drug runner Michael X has the photos in the safety deposit box, MI5 or MI6 induce the petty thieves to do a bank job to get hold of the photos through their contact with the gang, without realising the backstory, and so on. The film would have been just as good without the Michael X plot, given that he could have a film to himself (he was hanged in Trinidad in 1975). Acting is pretty good all round.

TransAmerica, last week, hadn't seen it before. Was much better than I expected it would be. The one before that was Life of Pi, and I felt the same about that. Before that was King Kong (the most recent remake). I have given up hope of ever seeing a film with Jack Black in it that I didn't think was baloney.
The Game with Michael Douglas. Pretty good.

he dropped the ball on the second one however.

However, I really liked the remake of John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13....
