1. This is England 8/10

2. Still Life 9/10.

3. Four months, three weeks, two days at the Prince Charles. 8/10

4. Lust, Caution 10/10

5. Water Lilies 9/10

6. The Edge of Heaven (Auf der Anderen Seite) 7/10

7. My Brother is an Only Child (Mio Fratello e Figlio Unico) 8/10

8. Happy-go-Lucky 8/10 but I want to say 9. Fabarooney film!

9. Sex & the City. Hmm, I can't really 'rate' that.

10. The Edge of Love. Enjoyable enough. Didn't really feel anything for the characters/plot/actors or anything really. But I didn't hate it. 5/10

11. Wall-E - haven't seen an animation for ages. Really cute - I liked it.

12. Jar City. A typical Icelandic thriller. Typical Icelandic film I mean (very blue and dreary) - nothing to do with it being a thriller. 5/10

13. Yesterday, 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time'. 9.9/10
It was great - I loved it, loved it, loved it.

14. The Fall. 9/10. Really cool. Go see!

15. I've Loved You So Long. Brilliant. Got a bit unbelieveable towards the end, but exactly the kind of film I like, otherwise. 8/10

16. Burn After Reading - ace, very funny. 9/10

Batman - The Dark Knight
Hellboy 2

 

[narcodollars]

I worked in Hollywood over the summer, in the cinema, particularly.

I think I've seen Batman too many times, I'm beginning to develop CIA theories. . .

 

[Augie March]

I think I've seen Batman too many times, I'm beginning to develop CIA theories. . .

 

[narcodollars]

There's a part in the movie about how Batman acquired the technology to steal into the business office through the window and snatch the Chinese accountant out of there. It's called "Sky Hook", I think, and it was supposedly a CIA invention, according to the script.

I'm talking about the scene where Batman deploys some type of parachute signal, and a helicopter passes by to take them both up and out of the office. I'll have to see it twelve or thirteen more times to figure it out.

 

[Sunspots]

This week, Persepolis.

(Great stuff. Not really sure why I didn't bother to see it when I had the chance earlier this year.)

 

[El Jefe]

Frostbite - bonkers Swedish / Russia teen vampire movie. Funny as fuck, even though it's pretty naff. A house party of teenagers all turn into vampires...

14. A Week Alone (Una semana solos)

http://www.bfi.org.uk/lff/node/1283?utm_source=lffs10&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=lffs

saw this tonight at the london film festival, a little slow, but interesting in parts

14 this year, only a few weeks left, might see a couple more i guess, but 14 in a year is piss poor imo

 

[T & P]

Saw today an early preview of Dean Spanley. I don't think it'll open for a while yet but it's a must. Peter O'Toole is fucking superlative in it.

 

[Brainaddict]

This is England - well worth seeing 7/10
Bee Movie - not bad for a kids film but I got bored 6/10
Kite Runner - surprisingly good version of the book 8/10
Lust, Caution - very worth seeing 9/10
Half Moon (on at the ICA) - interesting but flawed 5/10
Still Life 10/10
No Country For Old Men - nothing like the great film the hype suggested and very shallow 6/10
There will be blood 8/10 - not a masterpiece but has some fantastic acting and great scenes
The boss of it all 7/10 - very watchable but not one of Lars' best
Juno 5/10 - meh
Happy go lucky 8/10 - surprisingly good
Persepolis 7/10 - a bit flat and uninspiring compared to the books
Jar City 6/10 Entertaining enough but not very original
Good Dick 2/10 Nothing to enjoy
The Fall 8/10 Quite Gilliamesque, which is good if you like Terry Gilliam
I've loved you so long - 7/10 - well worth watching, though flawed
Of Time and the City 6/10 - passable but more about the director's childhood than the city - flawed voiceover
Waltz with Bashir 8/10 - a good effort to get at the reality of the Israeli idea of a 'moral' army - plus some nice artwork.
Burn After Reading 8/10 - excellent stuff - got a critical panning, but the critics rarely pick the right Coen brothers films to wank over

 

[dynamicbaddog]

Went to see Four Christmases last night, it was O.K, there were a few good funny slapstick moments, bit of a soppy ending tho...
