Dorian Gray.

It was so-so.  Lots of stuff lifted from The Pearl, I suspect, but not very well.

Always good to see Colin Firth, even with facial hair.

Alien Resurrection.

Man... the laboratory scene is weird shit, and no mistake  :hand:.

Excellent one liners though. "Must be a chick thing..."

Hot lesbot action.

Alas, I watched Babylon, AD.  Which means I spent two hours watching Vin Diesel doing a Keanu "woah" and being trolleyed from plot point to plot point and then just when it was getting interesting (after the dreary dystopian road movie with the chosen one) the bloody credits rolled.

It was like the first half of Until The End Of The Tape, only with Sam Neill fed lots of red meat.

I hate these movies that have a "this will change everything!" hook, but quit out before showing it happening.  This is bloody SF, you useless nerks, you have limitless powers of depiction: SHOW ME THE OMGWOW OR GTFO. Wusses! >:(

'I spit on your grave'.
I think the characterisation of smalltown Deep South American was maybe a bit thin.  They can't be completely inhabited by inbred retarded freaks and sex crazed rapists yet apparently that is the case.  Plus the storyt seems a bit incoherent in parts - I can't se how she managed to get out of the river and find her clothes again.

127 Hours, the film based on the book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", which in turn is the real life recounting of Aron Ralston's 127 hours trapped down a canyon after he slips and falls, a rock trapping his arm against the canyon wall....

127 Hours (2010) - IMDb

Quite good actually...

Last night I went to see "Inside Job" , a very slick documentary/polemic on the US financial meltdown.  Lots of interviews with bankers and financiers. Very little about UK events, it's almost entirely focused on the US, where they put the fox in charge of the henhouse, and the chickens came home to roost with a vengeance... scary thing is, lots of the foxes are still in situ...

I remember the trailer - looked like fun until I understood the central premise which is:

Tom Cruise abducts and brainwashes women.

So I thought Knight & Day must be a documentary of some sort...

Resident Evil: Afterlife.

Yes, I am one of those people who keep this series of films alive by watching them.  Films based on videogames are invariably poor.  That the Resident Evil films are vaguely mediocre elevates them above the pack.  Decent SFX and sound effects though.  Pity about the story (poor) and acting (lame).  Sometimes, though, a brain dead flick is ideal at the end of an intense week at work.  And no worse for the IQ than getting smashed on fermented barley products.

It was also a bit of light relief after watching Mon Oncle earlier in the week.  All I can say is that France in the 1950s must have been fecking miserable if that was the paradigm of comedy back then.

I remember watching that ages back, and got bored with it.  By the time I gave up, the monster (monsters?) had not actually appeared, and I had no sympathy or empathy with the main characters who just really annoyed me.

Not bad, but kinda fell apart towards the end.  I preferred the alcoholic, bad-tempered, destructioneering superhero to the rubbish pseudo-mythology they tried to build out of it.

Stanley Kubrick's Boxes - a 2008 documentary by Jon Ronson.

Basically, after Kubrick's death, Ronson goes to his house to root through his thousands of archive boxes and pick out some of the more interesting material, then intersperses his analysis with interviews. It doesn't sound like much of a premise, but I really rather enjoyed it - especially the crank letters. And it's quite revealing - you do begin to get an understanding of what made Kubrick so great as a director.

I watched it whilst trapped on a plne. Let's say I made full use of fast forward.

FWIW Watchmen remains just about the best film I've seen for years. Well, I liked it.
