Stardust
second viewing (this time in HD) Enjoyed it every bit as much as the 1st time. Claire Danes is one of the most desireable women on the planet (finally i can say 'woman' and not feel like such an old pervert anymore) by the same token - michelle pfeifer (sp?) never looked better - man she's better looking now than she was 20 years ago. I like the the guy who played Septumus as well .. Deniro was the only weak link. he played a gay man like a homophobe making fun of a gay man. |

You like dem women with little boys' bodies, hmm? Me, I likes it with a little junk. :p On a more serious note, very fun movie. I watched it again the other day for the umpteenth time. |

Burn After Reading
The Pianist |
I picked up In the Mouth of Madness on a whim. I had no expectations and ended up being pleasantly surprised. I thought the acting was decent and the atmosphere was creepy. Some of the effects were a little cheesy for me but otherwise I thought it made for a good watch.

In the Mouth of Madness is a classic, easily.
The last truly GREAT Carpenter flick, imo. |

i didnt like mouth of madness at all.
came off as a cheap circle jerk to stephen king to me. only saving grace is the commentary which was pretty much a film school lesson in lighting |
Silent Hill.
I'm not sure where I stand on this one. This kind of film is usually not for me, but the somewhat creepy atmopshere and need to figure out what the hell was going on kept me watching. A decent film. |
I watched. Inside. Bloody good film. I liked the basic idea, nice and simple. It was refreshing to see something so good, and violent.:D
|
Even if Inside was PG13 it would be an amazing feat. The lighting is so damn good in that movie. The part where the chick is on the couch on the phone while the camera is slowly panning back the same speed that the killer is stepping backward is pretty genius camerawork too.

Wanted - Very fun movie. James McAvoy is the man.

Otto or Up With Dead People
What a load of shit. I would that hour and a half of my life back. Pretentious as fuck in a lot of places. Some interesting ideas but it wasn't executed very well at all. This would've been a lot better if Greg Araki had directed it. |

Slumdog Millionaire
I had absolutely no intention of seeing this one again - I had planned on a night in to watch Brand Upon the Brain - but a bunch of my friends were going, and since breaking up with my girlfriend I've had just about no social life...I figured I should tag along. Still a good movie, didn't deserve Best Picture...and doesn't hold up well to multiple viewings. Once you know how the story pans out, there really isn't much point. Even though the ending itself is beyond predictable, there are a bunch of little surprises and twists along the way - knowing them in advance really hurt the viewing experience. |

Eerie sounds and the creepy atmosphere still almost able to scared the hell out of me in the middle of the night. Thank God, few days back I bought all the dvds of original Ju-On films. >>: A |
Role Models
I just tagged along with some friends on this one. Had me entertained even tho it is not really my kind of thing. |
I saw Max Payne last night. It was OK. Very bland, nothing special kinda film.

Hey... you sound like you're from London! :p Didn't know that Canucks use the word "mint". Only ever heard Brits use it. Anyhoo... that scene was great. James McAvoy's whole delivery in the movie is hilarious. |
The Dark
Never expected much and got less. Shame really, Ive got a lot of time for both Maria Bello and Sean Bean |

plus - Toronto being the most multicultural place on the globe - the language is getting very mixed. besides, i though Brits said : 'brilliant' :D |
American Buffalo
Great film from a David Mamet play. Dennis Franz was awesome- great to see him playing something besides a cop. Dustin Hoffman annoyed me a bit. Element of Crime Very surreal and unusual crime mystery. Beautifully filmed. |
Southern Comfort
loved this movie when it first came out. Still pretty good but some of the dialogue is a bit lame. |
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I was surprised at how fast the 2 and a half hours went by. there were places where it lagged, and places where it peaked. But a good film overall. Similar to Forrest Gump I suppose because it's all about the people he meets. I enjoyed this and think it is definetely worth a watch. 7.5/10 |

Last watched: Ed Gein Enjoyed this a lot more than when I first watched it a few years back. Deranged totally kills it but its still a hell of a lot better than the one with Kane Hodder. |
Had a bit of a movie marathon yesterday
Saw: Downfall good german movie about hitler's last days, the actor playing hitler was particularly convincing. Letters from Iwo Jima pretty good war movie, although i feel there was CGI used in places when it clearly wasn't needed. [Rec] Nice atmosphere in this one for sure. didn't find it quite as scary as everyone claimed though, however the final scenes were especially creepy. Apocalypse Now yep, first time seeing it. Great film, focused more on the utter insanity of Vietnam than the horrors as the Deer Hunter did. I think The Deer Hunter rang a little more true to me as to what Vietnam must have felt like, but this film was fabulous all the same. Desperado meh, it was pretty cool, nothing special though. I wish El Mariachi would work in my DVD player... |
Max Payne
not bad - not great ... good looking film though - the scenes in falling snow looked nice. cant believe they did the 'bad guy' thing they way they did ... there must be 100 movies like that - its such a pattern you can spot them on first sight. dont know why they bother anymore. |
Abominable
Surprising in that it wasnt awful, perfectly watchable made for TV monster flick |
|
Death Warrant
Fuck only knows why I wasted nearly 2 hours on a completely pointless JCVD flick. Still, its good to remind yourself every now and again why certain films are to be avoided. |
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Pretty decent follow-up to the series. * * * Beetlejuice Still as good as the last time I watched it. * * * * Vicky Christina Barcelona Pretty solid Woody Allen effort. Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz easily steal the show, backed by good performances by the support cast. I felt the movie was a bit stretched, given the pretty simple storyline. * * * ½ |
Soldier's Girl - Very good Showtime movie. The leads do an amazing job (special note to Lee Pace, who is an incredible actor and looks unbelievably good as a woman) with their very difficult roles. Not an easy movie to watch given it's content, but a must see nonetheless.

Haha... I have a feeling you're going to be highly disappointed if you do watch it. :p It's not a movie for everyone, that's for sure. |
The Pianist
Very touching...remarkable and strong flick. Adrien Brody & Polanski together create a brilliant dark tale of stunningly harsh, biting, brutal reality. * * * * |
