Closer is a fine testament to the rampant corruption in the Hollywood review process. Lame lame lame, ill constructed wanking toss-off.

Of course it was originally a stage play. Obviously the screenwriters and adapters don't know anything about filmmaking. Every scene has two people shooting interchangeable one-liners at each other. The characters are indistinguishable from one another. Their whole world is lifeless.

The pouty face of Julia Roberts is a fantastic temptation to throw something at the television. And, okay, Natalie Portman is a nice, attractive actress, but geez, her whole schtick is straight out of Lost in Translation.

I soooo can't believe this movie got rave reviews. Must be the soft porn factor combined with graft.
 
Happy Accidents starring Vincent Donofrio and Marisa Tomei. It was pretty good. Not the cheesy Kate and Leopold kind of love story I was expecting (thank God).

Also, The Safety of Objects with Dermott Mulroney and Glenn Close. It is gracefully intertwined vignettes. The cast was great.

Saw this last week! And yes, it really did suck balls! One of the most boring, pointless, crappy movies I have had the misfortune to sit through! Gaaah! Terrible!
 
Interiors directed by Woody Allen:
I was rather dissapointed by this one. This isn't a movie, this is a stage play recorded on tape, at least i had this feeling. I'm pretty sure you can disect the entire movie, find a great interesting meaning and all this stuff, but the fact remains, that it isn't a movie at all. It isn't build up on the visuals, it's build up on dialogues. He just tried too hard to make his own private Ingmar Bergman movie, he failed.
3/10

Ladri di Biciclette directed by Vittorio de Sica:
This was an extremely powerful movie and i would recommend it to anyone who likes movies, especially neo-realism.
9/10

What is the last film you saw? In cinema or at home. Not so important. But important the question. Did you like it? And why?

Today watched "Turkish gambit" ... The best russian film of last 5-8 years. Based on Akunin Boris novel.
If you are interested in.
Here link on trailer:

The last film i saw at the cinema was Hitch. This is a comedy with Will Smith in it. It was ok, funny and romantic in places. I wouldn't reccomend buying it, maybe renting it for a teen girl sleepover.
 
Ocean's 12.
Nothing special, and rather boring a times. The story doesn't seem to come together in the end.
 
House of Cards. I took the 2-tape series out of the library and watched it in two nights. So brilliant. The rewrites of Shakespeare, mostly delivered in Ian Richardson's monologues are the funniest, plus the "chorus" of the rat snivelling around the streets near Westminster. Great show. I'm going to get To Play the King next.

Wowsers, Jenn. You've read the comics? So that's what you've been doing in addition to mucking about with Transformers... :)

well yes and no. i was an excalibur fan and have like the first 25 or something. so not being an x-men comic reader i'm a little unsure of who phoenix is in excalibur. is she jean grey re-incarnate because the x-men were all killed or is she her daughter?

and, dude, it was voltron. :cool:

I agree, they were awesome series. Ian Richardson is wonderful in them, as he is in everything, really!

In Excalibur, the Phoenix you are familiar with is Rachel Summers, Jean's daughter in an alternate future. They actually meet (I'm sure they'd have met before, but I've got the issue where Scott and Jean gets married, and she was there).

What? Does that mean you didn't play with Transformers? Shame...

Okay, I just came back from watching Sahara, starring Matthew McCoughnoohey (obvious sp problem there) and Penelope Cruz. Started out a little weird, but when the action started, whoa...

Good fun. :)

we saw flight of the phoenix(hey coinkidink) and well to steal a word from freya in another thread, meh. not so good really. aw well.

p.s cheers on the phoenix info.
 
In this last week, I saw Lost in Translation (which was released in 2003, Martin!), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Battle Royale II, De Grønne Slagtere, Das Experiment and Dr. Strangelove.

It's weird. Usually I watch five crappy movies for every good one, but not this time.
