 ..I grant you that LH is incredibly sexy ...I just wish she could act. She's not bad, but she doesn't enhance dialogue. Fraser & Perry can make mundane lines come to life, LH needs good lines to raise a smile.M |

loved Hidden; several very disturbing scenes in there but holds up well as a film, not just a series of incidents. Now Black Book... interesting subject matter, generally well acted, especially the main German officer ( him from the recent Das Leberen der Anderen) but didn't you think it was all a bit, well, lavish? |

"If", the Lindsay Anderson masterpiece from the late 60s. Got it from Amazon, who bundled in a copy of the script. I went to see it from my boarding school when it first came out, and enjoyed every bit as much nearly 40 years on.

A classic film Chris,and a very very good sound track. When it was first on tv back in 1976, so many people rang in to find out the name of the main bit of music. It was out on a 45 within two weeks and i think it went to no 1 in the charts.

It's a very compelling Sanctus munch. I remember when Anderson was scouting for suitable locations he came to our place for lunch. In the end it was filmed at Cheltenham College.
It is a very powerful piece of film-making, which slips further and further into the surreal as it unfolds. Also an initially perplexing flip between colour and black and white. |

It started with revenge.

Junior has just bought(Saturday) the Bill Bailey triple DVD. He was watching "PART TROLL" when I came in. Very funny his "interpretations" of music Kraftwerk doing the hokey kokey, U2 (when the effects fail" all very good.

"Blood Diamond". Pretty gruelling, but a well-told story, with some astonishingly beautiful shots of Africa. I thought Leonardo di Caprio did a reasonable job with the accent.

"After The Wedding", a Danish film (with subtitles) starring the guy who played le Chiffre in "Casino Royale". Utterly absorbing, a terrific drama. And no gratuitous poker scenes....

Yes. It's a good action movie to me. And this takes me to the shelves and makes me look for "Gorky Park". |

A Scanner Darkly - Hmmm, I think this was a good movie, and the rotoscoping was very cool, but I felt a lot of the time I was looking at the filmcraft as opposed to being immersed in the story. That said, Woody Harrelson and Robert Downey Jr gave excellent performances I thought.
On the whole, I thought it a good film worth seeing once. Regards, Frank. All opinions are my own and do not reflect the opinion of any organisations I work for, except where this is stated explicitly. |

300 - Film adaptation of a Frank Miller graphic novel. Every frame could be lifted off the screen, framed and hung as a piece of art. Check out the extras, especially the test footage. The opening sequence they mocked-up should have been used for real, quite stunning. What started with Sin City seems to have been taken even further and better with 300.

I went with Blu-ray for this one. Wasn't realy interested in the additional extras on the HD-DVD. The blu-ray disc was a couple of pounds cheaper and has the additional PCM soundtrack.
Hate to say it, but I'm quite looking forward to Transformers in HD |

Yes! I must hunt down a copy. Frank - thanks for the recommendation on A Scanner Darkly, I'll hunt it out. my most recently watched DVD was Lunar Jim ("let's get lunar") with my son, who is running a temperature. |

this evening I have been watching the first couple of episodes of The Prisoner. pretty impressed. bought solely on reputation, and discussions read on this forum. Was concerned Mrs Rico would find it too old and hence unengaging; was not the case and we both enjoyed the watch.
Looking forward to viewing more. "be seeing you". |
