Green Lantern :I
well at least it was no Sucker Punch

[Prospero]

The Trip - Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Droll omnibus of the tv series.

[Prospero]

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.

I'd recommend Melancholia too - unless you're feeling downcast. Opens in UK at the end of the month.

Good fit with my music in that case.

Another depressing film - "We Need To Talk About Kevin" - nerve wracking and grim picture of a mass murderer

[runningdownthatdream]

Submarine - brilliant!
The Whistleblower - muddled and dull
Persepolis - very enjoyable
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.

it's a hoax.

"Exit Through The Gift Shop" is exquisitely cunning. A great mockumentary. I was hooked from the start. Cheers for sharing this, whoever it was
