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...

Cloverfield was a lot of fun

Best monster film evah

Watched another studio Ghibli film last night.

Howl's Moving Castle, was pretty awesome until the last 10 minutes. The ending seem pretty rushed and incoherent.

Shoot Em Up - awesome
totally ridiculous
funny one liners

If you just got into Ghibli stuff, Joey, you need to check out Mononoke and Grave Of The Fireflies particularly. Look around for Steamboy as well. Very similar.

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.

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.

which 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.

Really? I thought Mason was great in it. But of course Sellers steals it.

Ermm, the funniest one? Ganeesh?

Excellent choice.

Persepolis. Very good.

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.

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

But they wern't after.
And wasn't that kinda the point?

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.

Let There Be Blood was pretty good

Great music

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.

Watching the third film of the Pusher trilogy tonight. The first one was decent, but I really liked the second - Mads Mikkelsen is great.

Pretty good

about to watch Ken Burns The War

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

Grizzly Man was awesome

As you all know, I watch films about 942e92 years too late.
I just watched 3:10 to Yuma and enjoyed.
