[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

an inconvenient truth.
it was good, its a hard concept to get your head around but the movie had a lot of heart to it.
al sure does love his charts and graphs though... jeeez louise!

Oh dear I found myself tucking into the old bollywood again

Baabul!!

Sort of pure mills and boon nonsense (dark brows, dark brows) with fantasticly camp full on action dancing and singing and throwing of shapes...

Fabulously rubbish dialogue, romantic locations...COSTUMES!!

- "the sun goes down but it comes up for the new day..a house needs sunshine and breezes...."

.....a message - love (both eros and agap!!) will over come all and so forth and so fifth

3 hours of pure sugary, guilty pleasure ....

Pirates of the Caribbian - Dead Mens Chest. Favourite bits include - the bit on Endor when Depp is king of the Ewoks; when they go to see the voodoo chick on Dagobah and who could forget Sparrow's showdown with the Sarlacc.

Otherwise a waste on an evening's viewing.

Elvis. That's The Way It Is.

Tremendous.

Neilio: Otherwise a waste on an evening's viewing.

No such thing as a wasted evening's viewing - maybe a good thread!!

You're right tho' it wasn't a patch on number one by any means - even [SIZE=-1]Keira [/SIZE]"plank"* knightley managed to put in a decent performance in this...

- the monster in two was real stooopid and added nothing to proceedings plus not enough fighting or "yaaars" for my liking



*maybe she should walk the...

Fantastic film - highly recommend it.

is it subtitled?

 

[Squiggle]

It is in French, English and German, so if you are watching it in "English" the parts in French and German are subtitled.

that makes sense, i was wondering because the cast seamed very international

Watched The Constant Gardener.


Always, ALWAYS gardening. Non-stop, relentless garden tending going on. MAD.


It's a good idea for a film, but ruined by shakey camera nonsense and being long and sombre just for the sake of it.

i wasthc the new james bond last night, was deadly until the bent love bit. Overall i liked.

the future for bond is looking good

After the rousing 'the Treasure of Sierre Madre', I watched a film which turned out to be staggeringly good and had one of the best central female performances I reckon I have ever seen.

Terence Davies' 'the House of Mirth'. My interest in this film became aroused after stumbling upon the Gillian Anderson entry in 'the Biographical Film Book'. Thompson was effusive in his praise of this intelligent, insightful performance. The old boy was right. And Anderson is so radiant with her beautiful ordinariness. Great supporting cast ( Dan Ackyrod has rarely been so thuggishly charming. Then the real thug slips out...) Anderson's scenes with Eric Stoltz (particularily the intriguing opening scene.) have a troubling stillness to them which lingers.

A great film. Maybe one of the decade's best.

lots of 1980s sell-thru tapes were grey / beige. Sometimes just the part that covered the tape itself, other times the whole cassette.

Yeah Farrell was pretty average alright. I thought they managed to capture the mood of the tv series pretty well.
