Yuma was pretty good but the things I didn't like about it were
Russle Crow was pretty bland which was a good part of the film
And the voilence was kind of cartoony- A guy hits hit in the face with the butt of a gun a billion times to the point where he spits out a tooth and he only get's a few scratches on his face
Another guy burns to death in a stagecoach and never lets out a screem
When most people get shot they just keeled over like an 60's western
And the chicks were too Holywood hot for me to think of the film in the 1800's

Westerns and realism aren't supposed to go together, you know...

Mononoke was pretty nuts, saw it down at the Astor with the subtitles. The dubbed version has billybob thornton and claire danes 'n junk. Steamboy, once again amazing visuals but the story didn't do that much for me. Spirited Away weren't half bad neither.
That said, gimmie Urotsukidoji any day.

'the fuck did I do?
Watched Mononoke last night, it was wonderful. Thought it was pretty full-on for a kids film though. A young girl sucking blood out of wounds. Heads and limbs chopped off. And a massive subplot about Urbanisation and environmentalism. Those crazy Japs.
I'd put it just below Spirited and above Howl's.
Also watched Lolita. Peter Sellers is a God.

I could never really make it too far past the first scene of that one without getting incredibly bored. Yes, Peter Sellers is great in it, but when he's off-camera the film grinds to a halt.joey5001";p="937923 wrote:Also watched Lolita. Peter Sellers is a God.

Just watched Irreversible, and feel slightly worse for wear afterwoods...
I actually thought I was going to have a seizure at the end. But I enjoyed it. And Monica Belluci is just amazing.

Nearl: Where's Babar?

Nearl: No he's not! Elephants take showers with their noses!

I think the impact of Irreversible was greatly lessened when the characters just kept talking after the initial 'shock' scenes...

in the storyline they weren't
watching the film, they were.
perhaps if the whole thing built to the brutality that's in the film's beginning, it might have had greater impact.

O' Horten - Nice, warm film. Bent Hamer does it again in my opinion.
I am legend - Good premise, shit execution.
Darjeeling Limited - Funny, cute. Really good movie.
La nuit de Varennes - Marcello Mastroianni & Harvey Keitel performing if not at their best, well at least at a very amusing level in this great Scola-movie.

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford was an hour too long
