Splashed out on the 8 disc box set of This Life, an ace TV series from the 90s. Should keep me occupied for a while Did anyone else ever watch it? Everyone I know seems to have heard of it but never seen it.


I've heard of it, can't say I'm a fan of Egg and Co though..

Picked up Spirited Away at long last today, as it was down to just ?5 in HMV so it was hard to say no. I enjoyed two of his other films - Princess Mononoke and Laputa - and unsurprisingly enough I really enjoyed this one too. Absolutely charming from start to finish. Towards the end I was beginning to wonder how long the thing was gonna last, but not because it had outstayed its welcome or anything, simply because it seemed to take longer than I had expected, but that was my only potentially negative comment really.

Yarr mazey, love 'em. I'm a bit of a fanboy for quite a lot of stuff that's off Warp Records actually. Having said that, I still haven't heard anything off "untilted" yet. A friend offered to sell it me cheap the other day (he didn't like it) but I was fresh out of cash, so it passed me by.

ReNo, if you enjoyed Spirited Away you NEED to watch My Neighbor Totoro, also by Miyazaki. The first time I watched this movie I was really young and still living in Tokyo, and I loved it. I forgot about it and then rediscovered it a few years ago, made my girlfriend at the time watch it with me, and loved it again (and she liked it too, so it's not just my nostalgia affecting my judgement). It's a children's movie, but it's amazing and definitely worth seeing if you even remotely enjoyed Miyazaki's other stuff. It's from 1988 but its still beautifully animated. And the dust balls are in this one too!

Wow I sound like a fanboy.

But seriously, check it out. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

A couple of Mikee Takeshi films.

Ichi The Killer: I love the camera work in this film, very fluid camera work and shows exactly what's needed to be shown.

Audition: So hey, I didn't get the entire plot but I love a film that makes me think, still thinking about it now.

I FINALLY got to see Donnie Darko.

I liked it, but it was hard to follow even for someone of my HUGE mental capacity




I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.

I didn't like Donnie Darko as much as everyone else did, since it makes no sense.

Anyway -- I watched The Inside Man in theaters today.

It had a clever story, star power with some good acting, but overall it was fairly tepid. I mean, it had all the elements I can think of for a good movie, but in general it just didn't get me as excited or involved or enthused as a movie like LA Confidential or Chinatown.

Definitely not as good as other Spike Lee films, but not bad, just tepid.

Donnie Darko makes sense. What doesn't make sense, exactly?

Better than Girl Six, I imagine, :P I'll see it next week, and maybe Slither too, because that movie looks very funny ... and gory.

Anyway, I saw Night Watch, finally, because it was finally released here (delayed for over a year)

The movie wasn't bad, by any means, it just felt like ... there were certain elements that were downplayed. It was something else than what I expected as well. I think, the movie doesn't stand well on its own, I need to see Day Watch and whatever the third one is (when they make it) and then make a judgement about the overall series.
There are some really cool ideas in the movie though. I do suggest it, but don't expect a masterpiece. However, it's still really well made, not as "low budget", so to speak, as a lot of people implied, literally everything in the movie is done well.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Just watched "A Sound Of Thunder"

Top notch sci-fi. If you're into time travel adventures, this one is a "Should See"

Watched: Memoirs of a Geisha this morning.. 5 stars.

I really liked this one.

Watched: King Kong yesterday. Contrary to popular opinion, Jack Black did not ruin it. The cinematography was superb. A great remake of an old title.

Watched A History Of Violence, it was oh so ironically violent. Really, really, violent. And Maria Bello's like 40 but she's still super-hot. Good lord. I couldn't sleep last night 'cause of it.

Watched The Man, haha. Good stuff, amusing. Cliched action crap and all but man Levy/L. Jackson = good comedy team. haha!

Way to ruin it for me.

But yeah, I was worried about Jack, but he added comic relief when it was necessary.

I watched the trailer for Nacho Libre, I love Jack smiley

Actually, I honestly feel that the directors cashed in on his natural tendency to be shallowish.. He played the part he was given very well.. I self absorbed self promoter..

He pulled it off.

I watched Jarhead just now.

I thought Jake G was pretty good -- much better than I expected actually. Peter Saarsgard was good as usual. Jamie Foxx was good enough, didn't really have to act a whole lot in the movie though.

Overall, it kept my attention, but I didn't leave feeling anything particular. Which is bad, for a seriousish movie like this. You should leave feeling something, anything. That's why people (or maybe just me) go to movies, to feel.

Well, not really a movie in the traditional sense, but any Chili Peppers fan should watch Live at Slane Castle. THere's some crazy improv stuff there that just makes you respect those guys.

Just watched "The Triplets of Belleville" on DVD. I've seen this film in cinema and loved it. A beautiful piece of animation for grown ups. The story is a rather surreal tale about an old lady and her dog searching for her kidnapped grandson. But it's the art direction and the love for detail that makes this film so great. Very unique.
