I just watched Fight Club again, and it continues to be one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I watched Pan's Labyrinth, and I must say that watching this film was very satisfying. I highly recommend it to the rest of you, but be warned, it contains some of the most graphic and horrific images I've ever seen. It goes without saying that this movie contains many references to the horror of the Spanish War, and its brutality.

Speaking of horror, I just finished Romero's "of the Dead" triology. It's cool to see the classics. Reminded me of how pointless all the numerous rip-offs are.

Just watched the Last King of Scotland. It was remarkably disturbing, but in a good way. I suggest you see it, it's a very powerful movie.

Watched Smokin' Aces on the weekend. It can be summed up in one word: arse. After sitting through 45 minutes of mind numbing dialogue and incoherent plot, the action finally started. Now I knew going in it wasn't going to be a masterpiece, but figured from the reviews that the action sequences would be enough to make it worth while. Wrong. It was perhaps some of the lamest, poorly scripted action I've ever seen. Then after the 20 minute of combined "action", it was back to the suicide inciting plot and acting, which wrapped up the confusing story in a neat little bundle.

Million Dollar Baby.

I haven't seen this one in theaters but they played it on TV the other day. Wasn't at all what I expected but a good drama... Well, all the bitterness was a bit too much for my taste.

The Departed.

Very good, but a tad long. Then again, Scorsese isn't exactly known for 90 minutes films. Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin... Usually don't see a cast like that in one movie.
One of my favorites this year. Check it out.

It scored Osacars big time. Maybe I should give it a try.

I saw The Departed the other day and I didn't think it was all that great it was ok but not as good as I had heard it was supposed to be. But I think it has something to do with having seen Infernal Affairs first as I never like remakes as much as the originals they just never seem as good to me.

If I hadn't seen Infernal Affairs first I think I would have really quite liked it.

I was amazed today by "The Prestige".
Partners turned rivals, Hugh Jackman & Christian Bale do their best to one-up each other in quite a twisted story involving secrets and mis-direction.
I liked it a lot. A little long, but worth it.

300, Zodiac and Pan's Labyrinth. Already this year is looking good for movies.

But seriously, everyone here watch 300. It's just gore on a grand scale. There are a few sick shots that are about 30 seconds of one take in the middle of the fight, and it really is amazing to see something that long.

And Zodiac is a great psychological suspense film. But mostly, go see it 'cause Jake Gylenhall is hot.

I really liked 300, though some of the "fantastic" elements went a little overboard,
not exactly following the graphic novel. It was still a very stylized & surreal action movie that was worth the price of admission. I only wish I could have seen the Imax version.

Finally got to see "Dr Strangelove". Old films are old, unfortunately, I can't deny that... but the whole concept behind the movie is absolutely amazing. Also I didn't know how many classic scenes and ideas are originally from this movie.

Dr. Strangelove is an awesomely great movie, still have visions of Slim Pickens riding the missile. Had to watch Blazing Saddles and Fight Club again.

We Feed the World

Chickens in Europe being fed by with Soy beans planted on unproductive and artificially fertilized areas of cleared rain forest in Brazil next to a village of starving people. If you still think there's nothing wrong with this world then watch this movie.

More people than you'd think <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Also saw Supersize Me (it's Nutrition week at out local TV station). Disgusting, a bit pompous but I love these "Documentary makers" vs "The Companies" movies.
