What's the latest film you have seen? (title, reviews, irish)

I guess it must've been A Hard Day's Night. I had mixed feelings about it.

I walked out of Cars, that was some bs.

Yeah, saw that. That bitch from Amelie was in it, right? Mmm, I'd like to remove her organs.

Great flim based on the glam rock scene. Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Brain Slade a character based on David Bowie and Ewan McGregor as Kurt Wild who is based on Iggy Pop. And Christian Bale and Eddie Izzard are also in it.

The Recruit (on TNT) last night. I really liked it was my first time seeing it. Reminded me of Breech, which was another political, US government thriller.

In the theater I saw Han**** which actually a little underwhelming. Its been getting a ton of press but its not like a groundbreaking movie or anything. It's worth seeing though.

YouTube - The real "Velvet Goldmine"

Delicatessen

7/10

I loved the visual style, but the story/characters should have been fleshed out a lot more. It's obvious that Jean-Pierre Jeunet was only starting out as a film director. Overall, it's a very original and interesting film.

^agree with you 100% on 'Delicatessen', it relied too much on it's quirkiness.

Watched half of the jackhammer-recommended 'Dirty Pretty Things' and was infuriated when the videostream ****ed up. I love British films when they get them right, which invariably these days takes the form of a gritty social commentary. Daily Mail readers take note on this 'un.

Also 'Ratatouille', which is hands down my favourite Pixar film now. Still family-orientated ofcourse but just painstakingly executed in every way and free of vomit-inducing songs in the soundtrack.

"In Bruges"

my favorite film of the year so far. Nearly perfectly executed, have no complaints.

**jackhammer** · 07-13-2008, 05:44 PM

I watched it when it first came out and appreciated it but it sorta washed over me alittle. Having read a little more about Howard Hughes I decided to rewatch this today. WOW! What a truly remarkable life he had and the film flows superbly considering it's lengthy running time.

Got this on DVD in a sale with Purple Rain a few weeks ago.
Marty has really been picking up the 'Gangs of New York' slack lately... god that was awful.
