Haha I was about to quote that and say "What, even MORE than he usually is???"

That's why I said especially.

Tree Of Life is amazing. I liked Thin Red Line though.

I really liked Thin Red Line and most of Tree of Life.

Was on the verge of going to Days of Heaven in the IFI a few weeks ago. Was at the door and all, when I got a phone call reminding me I had to be somewhere else. I've heard good things - is it worth a look?

unfortunately i've only ever seen it on a tv screen because i wasn't born when it came out. i really wanted to see it on the big screen when it was out but couldn't find the time. shame cos i'd say it's only bleedin' magic on the big screen

Went on one of my twice yearly trips to the cinema this evening to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I thought it was great although as is the case with films generally I'm not sure I got what was happening

 

[Cormcolash]

THE THING IS ON TONIGHT IN SCREEN CINEMA! Maybe I'll just sit here, see what happens.

I saw Drive at the weekend there. In most respects, it was really good - great film in general. There were just a couple of niggling things that annoyed me and let it down a bit, but good stuff for sure. I loved all the blood and stuff everywhere, haha.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Drive. Excellent. Brilliantly assembled cast, great score and a surprisingly sweet love story amidst all the head smashing carnage and zen cool.

I lasted an hour. Boooooorrrrriiinnnngggg.

the first hour was a chore but it got really intense in the second hour, i was glued to my seat

 

[David Kronenbourg]

one of the people i was with also walked out after about an hour and i could actually feel my eyelids drooping myself during some of the party scenes but it really shifts gear in the second hour

When a movie is sold as an apocalyptic planet-smasher I expect a bit more first-hour astronomical activity than Kiefer Sutherland identifying a star. The opening sequence was nice though.

 

[Cormcolash]

HAHA! pete

 

[David Kronenbourg]

ah now here, if you have even a passing knowledge of von trier's work you should know going in that it's not going to be a conventional disaster movie. just sayin

I don't.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I don't.

fair enough. well he's quite controversial for making fiercely unconventional movies which veer between very boring and very disturbing

Was this some marketing job by the same people who tried to make Valhalla Rising look like a 300esque action film?

Not a classic of either the blaxploitation or western genre, but it does have Fred the Hammer Williamson and D'Urville Martin (director and Willie Green in Dolemite), and that old guy who always plays some representation of the Man. And for some reason most of the score seems to be instrumental versions of Boney M's Sonny (although possibly this was floating around before Boney M, I'm not sure). Decent enough.
