Saw Dark Knight last night, great film and it wasn't hype about Heath's performance!!! Only critisism about the film was there was almost too much going on with too many twists and changing storyline, I'd have preferred it slightly shorter with less happening.

I have wanted to see this for awhile now and so when I caught it on TV on Saturday I watched it and it was an amazing insight into the life of Charlie Chaplin, I've seen Modern Times and bits of The Great Dictator and he has fascinated me in a strange sort of way, and also this is history and I love history and all in all a really good film and one I highly recommend :)).

Sadly I was not so fortunate with this one, I caught it half way through but I loved it all the same, it was very silly but more slap stick than serious gangster movie. Michelle is great in it :cool:.

The Edge Of Love (15) 110mins
Starring Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller. Cillian Murphy and Matthew Rhys
A beautifully drawn love story, the film revolves around two feisty, free-spirited women, Caitilin Thomas and Vera Killick, Vera's husband William Killick, and the brilliant charasmatic poet Dylan Thomas who loves both women. Broken promises, passion, betrayal, the shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death push the protagonists to 'The Edge Of Love'.
It's a brilliant fillm, it made me laugh and almost made me cry, Keira's performance in this is brilliant, I highly reccomend it :heart:.

For years I wanted to see the alternative ending and just watched it on YouTube. I can see why they left it out, it really wouldn't have fit in with the rest of the movie. The two extra songs are interesting but the plants taking over the world is just disturbing/wrong and not fun at all imo.

Didnt like it either. The whole thing with the gray-ish dead child didnt work for me, although I know loads of people who were freaked out by this.
That said, those american remakes of japanese horror movies arent bad in general. I really liked the ring. (although the ending with the zombie girl climbing out of the tv was a bit ridiculous IMO.
Last one I watched was the third Austin Powers movie.
Not too thrilled by that one, was a good way to pass the evening though.

Abba The Movie.
It was great.
The difference between this and the Abba musical we went to see in between shows in London (may 2007) was as to be expected, so now I have two separate memories ;):D.
Differences as in:
in a movie there are sooo many more options like where it is filmed and many more people to join in at the background.
The live singing and music is the special part of the musical.
But of course that counts for everything that is both live and on film :D
Reminds me of the scare afterwards...
Only days after we were there, a car with bombs was found on the steps of the venue of the musical. When I recognized it, it felt like being in the wrong movie!

22 Aug 2008, 20:24
I wouldn't exactly say I love the Saw movies, they are mostly okay I'd say. To me some of them edge on being "just" disturbing, which is okay for a night out at the cinema and some scares but I wouldn't call it something I'd like to see again or think too much about. Whereas other bog standard horror films such as "No Vacancy" don't have this "disturbing" effect on me. It scares me just as much when I am watching it but it's just the disturbing factor I find uncomfortable sometimes.
I thought the first one was really good and the twist was something I didn't see coming at all. Also the title made sense in that film. The others are just cashing in in the franchise imo. I especially thought the second one wasn't so good.
RadioMaster
22 Aug 2008, 20:34

An Inconvenient Truth (2006).
A very good film I think with some real eye openers, especially about Antartica and the North Pole. Leaves you with some mixed feelings though about the future of our planet and what we are all doing to it. Al Gore is a good man in my opinion and should have been president. I think the whole world would have benefited from that.
The Melissa Etheridge song: "I need to Wake up" is great and the end titles have been done quite well to leave you with some positive things to take away.

Face/Off. Still such an excellent movie with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. And amazing to watch on Blue Ray with that thunderous sound. Always found the ending too cheesy and a bit ridiculous in a way, haven't changed my opinion on that.
Batman The Dark Night. Yes I agree a really, really good flick. A bit confusing at the beginning I thought. Heath Ledger's performance of the joker is indeed very special. I wouldn't go as far to say that this is the best film ever made, but certainly one of my favourites of the year. Perhaps a bit overhyped to make a huge impact on me now.
Hellboy 2. Funny and entertaining to a certain extent. Not really my type of movie, sorry. Was just about watchable for me, pretty much the same as part 1. If you are ok to expect ridiculous things then you'll be fine.

According to IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/chart/top) it is the third best film of all time.

I bought it ages ago but have only just got around to watching it The Jacket with Keira Knightley and Adrien Brody. It's a very good film and Keira is fantastic in it, only I found it a little confusing at first.
Jack Starks (Brody) is a Gulf War Veteran who was suffering from a gun shot wound in the head and returns to his native Vermount suffering with amnesia. He helps a mother and daughter with their truck that had broken down then continues on his way, he waves down a truck and the guy offers him a lift only her's told to pull over for a policeman and is asked to step out of the car, unknown to Starks the guy has a gun and shoots the policeman dead, in the process Jack collapses and he is then framed with the killing. He's falsely accused as guilty and is commited to a mental institusion where he's treated appaulingly by his physician, Dr. Becker, he puts him on a controversial treatment regiemen in which Jack is injected with experimental drugs, confined in a straight-jacket, and locked for extended periods in the body draw of the basement morgue.
In his drugged and disoriented state, Starks mind propels him into the future, where he meets Jackie (Knightley), and discovers that he is destined to die in four days. Together, they search for a way to save him from his fate.

I prefer the story to the film, think most Stephen King films don't live up to the original story - my opinion anyway. I love the casting and the scene between the two characters discussing the room and the first bits of spooking is great but I personally think some of the spookiness is lost once the bigger budget effects kick in. Still like it very much though, glad am not alone in it :D
Just got back from seeing "Hellboy II" at the cinema - good film, weak ending.

I'm a bit of an SK fan, I must confess, and on the whole the novels are better than the films - it's the thing about no-one being able to see it the way you do in your imagination - there are a few that are best avoided tho', The Tommyknockers and The Langoliers to name two, and a few more that have nothing to do with the films they became, The Lawnmower Man being one notable one! The Green Mile and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption both come highly recommended... Oh, and The Dark Tower series is well worth a look, gets a bit weird in the middle, but the ending's worth it...

Tropic Thunder.
I was looking forward to this one. Thought it was really weird and not really funny most of the time. Some amazing action though. They should have made a normal Vietnam movie, without the stupid story and just some jokes. It takes the piss out of Platoon, Apocalypse Now and a bunch of other Vietnam movies, all of which are far more entertaining to watch in my opinion.
*SPOILER (look away now): Tom Cruise is badly cast imo. Also one of the weakest roles I've seen Jack Black do.
Useless waste of money, really. Should have stayed home. Doubt I would go and see another Ben Stiller directed movie in the cinema.
No doubt Jack Black will be plugging this movie later on Jonathan Ross tonight, and the big fake Ross as he is will be agreeing with him that it is a great movie. Sigh. :roll:
I can't believe this movie cost $92 million to make. I really think they should have made a more serious film with that kind of money instead of a comedy like this. The high rating on imdb and reviews "best comedy in years" is something I really don't get. Hot Fuzz for example was a much, MUCH better Hollywood spoof film than this in my opinion. Why do the biggest comedy stars in the USA make so many unfunny films is my question here? (Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and now Jack Black :? :wtf: )
Don't get me wrong, this is not the worst comedy I've seen (that prize may have to go to Superbad or other forgettable teen trash) but this was a disappointment I thought.
Some movies, I saw trailers for and I think are going to be quite interesting are: Death Race and The Day The Earth Stood Still

Anyway, I was asked to give my opinion of the movie - Tropic Thunder.
Movies are expensive here...so if they are also expensive over there...this movie is for DVD watchers...all I can say is...it had a potential to be a good movie...
It is still worth watching for 2 reasons: Robert Downey Jr. and (I thought I would never utter these two words in my life but here it is...) Tom Cruise...

All the over hyped comedies i've seen lately (like Be Kind Rewind, Tropic Thunder, other stuff) have had moments of real laugh out loud moments, but they are too few and far between.
Something funny will happen, you'll get a quick laugh, and then it's onto the story for twenty minutes till something funny happens again.
Guys like Laurel & Hardy are a completely different league.
Their comedy is much more rapid fire and they can keep your attention because you know if something funny isn't happening right now it's because it's building up to another laugh.

nah, youre just not smart enough to get the good humour :p
seriously though,
I'm not a big fan of slapstick. I dont know why, but after the fifth time a man gets hit by a piano it's just not funny anymore for me. I can watch slapstick comedies for about ten minutes before I get bored. I rather like comedies (or movies in general) that give your brain something to do. For me it's ten times funnier if I have to think about a joke a few seconds before I get it because it's been worked around five corners, than laughing at another man's pain over and over and over and over and over and over (you see where Im going with this...)
I understand your point and was stunned at my first American show with pies flying into everybody's face...
Still and all...you have to consider times when these 2 comedians performed and give them their due...
Or maybe it is age...as I am getting older...I prefer comedies to dramas...slapstick to intricate humor, etc...life is hard enough as it is...

I adore The Da Vinci Code (though yet another example of the book kicking the film's ass!) and I've got to say, without starting a religious debate, I found the story and theories more believeable than I did every piece of religious education I was taught in 12 years of school!

And as to the book Angels and Demons...I found it to be sloppy seconds...

Even though it was written three years before The Da Vinci Code?

Yep...couldn't you tell that the same research was used for both and A&D was written just to make some quick buck to support himself for Code?
At least some research and accuracy was used, unlike his earlier two efforts.
I preferred Angels and Demons I loved the Da Vinci Code film and i cant wait for the new film i might even drag myself to the cinema for it lol!!

Oh my god...it's all ridiculous except for the Code...did you read something about some electronic bugs or something? i already forgot what it was it was SO stupid...
As works of fiction they're very good for that genre, certainly far better than many others on the ookshelves.. His books have improved in content and subject matter, and I'm sure the next one will be a good read when he gets it finished.

Honestly I've read all of his books and nothing came close to the Code...that is a very interesting and thought provoking book...spent hours and hours discussing it...hopefully he wrote earlier on just to support himself...much like Pillars of the Earth was the only book Follet ever wanted to write and yet he has written bunch of decent books in completely different genre...
Next ones about the Masons and Mozart i think!!

Mozart and Masons??? Hmmm...not that I can see the connection off the top of my head...but still sounds interesting...I hope he doesn't spin another yarn about Mozart being poisoned or killed in any other way...expertise was done and it showed that it was tuberculosis (sp?)...
I think it's as much a case of hitting the right subject matter at the right time and hence getting a decent amount of press exposure and public interest in a book written when the authoers writing style has matured. I think he'd probably earned enough from the previous books to enable enough time and money to be spent on the research of the latter.
The Solomon Key is the working title of an unreleased novel currently in progress by Dan Brown, author of several novels, most prominently Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. According to current information, The Solomon Key will be the third book involving the fictional Robert Langdon, a Harvard University professor. No release date has been announced.
This according to Wikipedia...didn't we have a reading thread somewhere here???
Solomon Key...NOW...that is MUCH more interesting subject...
Next ones about the Masons and Mozart i think!!
I heard a little different ...
Next one "The Solomon Key" is supposed to be about the freemasons in and around Washington and is supposed to feature the Yale secret society which G W Bush was a member of .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones (although we all know how accurate this can be :lol:)
A future book is rumoured to feature Mozart's association with the masons.
Don't think Mozart had much time or inclination to be involved with anybody/anything but his music...and I won't read anything about Bush...had enough already...

Mozart was a Freemason apparently lol!!

Who knows? It was a different society back then...I'll certainly would be interested in reading about it...

the thing that annoyed me the most about the da vinci code film was that they sucked all the chemistry that the two main characters have in the book, there's a spark going throughout and the film just ignores this...also i didn't think Hanks was the greatest of choices...maybe if they would have had some chemistry between the characters it would have worked better

I personally thought Angles & Demons was better than the da vinci code. The code was way overhyped IMO.
Could be a little biased though, as I've read A&D while being on holiday in Rome...
His other two books I found rather mediocre...Had a bit of a feeling he was telling the same story over and over again...
