The Boat That Rocked.

Not sure why this bombed on general release - it was a Larf.

I love you, Man. Some laughs, but generally self-conscious Hollywood tripe.

Runaway Train

Not as bad as the title would suggest.

Cemetery Junction. I'd never have paid to see it (my little brother's birthday, so his choice), but it turned out to be worth it for the soundtrack alone!

That's a cracking film - good as a double bill with this:

Aguirre, des Zorn Gottes.

In a film shot through with swivel-eyed lunacy, Klaus Kinski demonstrates that he is the master of the genre.  Unfortunately the PVR got bored with five minutes left on the clock, so the last I saw of it was Aguirre proclaiming to a bemused monkey how he was going to marry his daughter and conquer Trinidad, Mexico and one or two other planets he'd noticed on the way >:(  Now I'll have to get the DVD...

Romeo must Die

That's a very bad film and you can guess the ending from about 5 minutes in.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Oil City Confidential.

As rock documentaries go... well, quite simply one of the best I've seen. Really good. I've never been a huge Dr Feelgood fan but theirs is a compelling story, and it's a really well made film on top of that. Plus the fact that Wilko Johnson is such a fascinating character. I only started to watch it cos there was nothing else on but I was glued to it from beginning to end. What a very pleasant surprise.  :thumbsup:

And I also realise that I've been missing out on some great music all these years - it seems there was an awful lot more to them musically than the mediocre Milk & Alcohol.

Valkyrie.

It appears Mr Cruise can act.

I liked it.  I don't usually like war films.  This one has a very good cast including Eddie Izzard and Bill Nighy.

"Lights in the Dusk"  ("Laitakaupungin valot")

I know little about Finland except for the Moomins.  From this film it appears that everyone there is miserable and doesn't do what you'd expect them to.

passable film made better by Rebecca de Mornay looking fantastic, if a little overdressed.

I saw Shutter Island with my girlfriend on Saturday night. Di Caprio gives a solid performance but overall it was just a bit too average. Gf had sussed the plot by half way, which was we ll ahead of me...

Finally saw Up in the Air. Really rather good. And another superb perfomance by George Clooney. I really think that he's one of the few contemporary actors who could have slotted smoothly into the classic era of cinema in the 1950s along with Jimmy Stewart et al. Annoyingly good looking but far more than that. And an excellent director (Syriana) too.

I'll admit that I hated it but am genuinely curious what you got from it.

I'm assuming from the date of this post that you have seen it on DVD not in the cinema and therefore for you it can't just be the 3D that's wowed you.

I guess that's why I'm especially curious about your opinion on the movie.

I just thought that the graphics were brilliant, the story was quite thought provoking (in terms of the people coming from a planet being destroyed by mining for minerals etc, and destroying another one for the same thing).  I think that is what it was getting at, but I could be wrong.

Quite by chance, after watching the (recorded) moto GP last night, I saw that Dog Soldiers was on so watched it.

Some very funny lines in there. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Coraline on DVD last night.

Excellent story in a Grimm Fairy tail stylee (Classic Tim  Burton), together with superb animation and visuals.


Although anyone who volunteers to go into stop motion animation to that degree probably needs their bumps feeling.
