Tangled. Disney's take on Rapunzel. My six year old enjoyed it but unlike some modern children's films (Shrek, the Toy Stories etc.) this had little to offer adults.

We spent 7 hours yesterday watching La meglio gioventù (The Best of Youth) and eating and drinking - a great way to pass a winter's day with friends! If you haven't seen this Italian film, you should...

Lost in Translation.

In the category of "Films where nothing whatsoever happens" this is definitely my favourite. It's top TV wallpaper to fall asleep in front of, beside a blazing wood burner, on a cold winter's night.

Watched The Patriot at a friend's last night. What a steaming pile of bullshit. There's a couple of hours of my life I'm never getting back. You owe me Gibson you short-arsed tosser.

I watches a bit of "Cockles And Muscles" the other night when it was on TV. Went to sleep 15 minutes in as I was tired and has seen it before. If you haven't seen it it's worth watching. It's a French farce about a family spending summer at a holiday villa by the sea. Maybe I like it just because Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is in it ...

'Wall Street II - Money Never Sleeps' - it was OK, there were some good bits but the ending was so mawkishly ah-everyone-makes-up that it seemed crass. Michael Douglas still has that je ne sais crois about him.

I started watching it but gave up after half an hour when I'd had enough of its smug middle-class egotism. I really couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters. For me, it epitomised everything that is bad about French cinema.

YMMV.  ;)

I'm saying his 'acting' comes with a thick layer of cheese; which is fine, as long as the actor acknowledges it.

Haven't seen it for years and forgotten how good it was.  Mrs Zep wouldn't watch it with me as Richard E Grant turns her stomache apparently.  This is also why I'm not allowed to play Bowie in the house.  ???

Layer Cake.  Pretty good, an' loads o' killin's, but I'm going to take back some of the rude things I've said about Keanu Reeves being a big piece of wood.  I thought that Daniel Craig's tree-like interpretation of Bond James Bond was, well, acting, but he plays Mr. X with exactly the same range of emotions, which is to say none.  And he didn't get to shag Sienna Miller.  Michael Gambon is splendidly villainous.

Michael Gambon is a national treasure.  Saw him a few months ago in Beckett's 'Krapp's Last Tape' - brilliant.  I enjoyed Layer Cake.

Oh, I love that. It's all so subtle and tragic. And I love Bill Murray in just about anything.

Mrs B thought it was very Japanese. Lots of unspoken emotion. She liked it. So did I, but I wasn't sure she would, so was pleased.

Yeah, Bill Murray's good.

The Men Who Stare At Goats.  Engagingly daft but on no account should anyone ever require Ewan Macgregor to do an American accent.  Doubly so if he has to say "fuckin'".

Murphy's War.  Peter O'Toole 1 - 0 Kriegsmarine.  I am hunting up the money for a remake with swearing in it.  Brad Pit as Murphy, sienna Miller as Doctor Hayden,  Jean Reno as the swarthy FOREIGN and Penelope Cruz as the not-required-by-the-plot local girl who gets her blouse ripped off by a German sailor.

Interesting. Mrs FM (also Japanese) thought it was a racist and ignorant heap of crap (although she expressed these sentiments in far more subtle way!). Most Japanese people I know who have seen it (and it didn't do very well in Japan so not that many have) seem to have thought it was either offensive or funny (and not for the right reasons).

To be honest, Bill Murray sleepwalks through films these days. He doesn't act, he just does 'Bill Murray'. That said, I thought this worked in The Life Aquatic and Broken Flowers more than Lost in Translation.
