Eat, Pray, Love.  I liked it.  Bit of a fan of Julia Roberts, actually.  Nice hair.

Currently watching The Human Centipede.
Odd you should say that; I was, only 10minutes ago, toying (boom-tish) with the idea of recreating it using Miss Z's Rapunzel, Barbie and Snow White and then photographing the result for forum consumption.

Watching Age of Dragons right now. Crap, isn't it. Vinny Jones and Danny Glover doing a ripoff of Moby Dick.

Went to see The Artist last night with Mrs BF - thoroughly enjoyed it despite some misgivings (I wanted to see J Edgar!)

Beware, there's some bootleg dvds going round of The Artist, they're in black and white and silent!

Carnage is awfully good, four brilliant actors and Jodie Foster is terrific.

The Descendants - absolutely loved it, excellent couple of hours not-to-demanding entertainment. Sergeant Pluck recommends  :)

Habemas Papam.  (We Have A Pope, tbc).

Very funny, very quirky film, with a surprise ending.  I don't think I'd watch it again. 

But I might.

If you've ever had anything to do with the dressing-up, ritual and high camp of church there are bits in this that are just hilarious.

'everything is OK'
I discovered that copyright permissions for the mosfilm archives says anyone can copy it, so there is a lot of stuff on line, some classics and some less well known.  includes Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the T.  Haven'y found John the B yet, that was deffo weird when I saw it (It was on at Cannes, my grandfather and I ambled along.  I forget the year).

I hope to finish flammen und citronen before it gets taken off iplayer.  It's Danish, except where it's german, the subtitles don't differentiate so it was great having a bit where I could understand.  It seems I have got used to Swedish too (courtesy of Wallander I suppose), as recognised the change when that was in use, briefly.

Would it be this site that one can watch various films from the archive?

Oh good, has 'Come and See', one of my absolute recommended war films, with Germans in Byelorussia and a boy who survives against the odds. Very lyrical and dreamlike.

Les Emotifs Anonymes (Romantics Anonymous)

Oh, I do love an old-fashioned love story, especially when combined with chocolate and a bit of sauce.  I may be wrong here, but this may not be a blokes' film.  Not a single man in the cinema.  Oh, but it was lovely, and funny, and whimsical.

Flawed, though, in that some of the minor characters could have been expanded a smidge, and it would have helped the plot.

Left with a big smile on my face anyway.

Thanks Sergeant Pluck, I shall definitely watch that, it looks like my kind of thing.

Dog Soldiers, again...watched it last night and I'll be watching it again tonight. It gets me like that sometimes. Need a Sean Pertwee injection and the cast/crew commentary on the dvd is hilarious.

I'm looking forward to the release of 'A Dangerous Method'. I have seen 'Keeper of Souls' so it will be interesting to see how the Jung and Speilrein relationship is approached in this film.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.   Don't watch this film if you're a little tired - it's getting late and you don't know/forgotten the story.   ;)  I periodically got lost with names - who was who, and also because mini ao had a cold and kept on getting up - we had to have the volume on low-ish and I so I lost some of the dialogue at times.  Sombre and sometimes confusing (for me) - but well done; should watch it again (but haven't got time).  Gary Oldman was very good I thought, admirably poker-faced.

The Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I was expecting better, because it lacked that Nordic sense of isolation and tried too hard to be The Da Vinci Code for me. They cut too much out from the book and removed one central character altogether. I've got the other two in the trilogy to watch and I'll make the effort, but I hope things improve.

Is it too much to ask DVD producers to have a "no subtitles" option?

The Time-Traveler's Wife is on ch4 just now. I saw it at the pictures when it came out. I love the book but the film is absolutely insipid.

The Lady Vanishes- 1938 B&W version satrring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave.

A cracking bit of early Hitchcock magic.
