^^I just read the synopsis and some reviews on imdb and it sounds very interesting. Some compare it to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and similar non-linear films. Anyway, I'm putting it on my 'to watch list'.

What do I like about this is the bleak atmosphere. I went in expecting lots of the usual bizarre Coen Brothers comedy but there's just not enough of it. Jeff Bridges I suppose played Cogburn closer to the US Marshall character the book's character was based on, but he's not a damn bit likeable, unlike the lovable warhouse in the John Wayne original version. The only redeeming bit is the final act of valiance near the end, but I still don't like him. The girl playing Mattie Ross is a bit too sweet and fey fo the role and displays none of the spunk of Pamela Brady in the 1969 version. I suppose I shouldn't compare, and I know I shouldn't have watched the Wayne version before this.

Good points - this is about the only Matt Damon role I like - sinister paedophiliac undertones (watching Mattie as she sleeps, the glee in the spanking scene), ambivalence about the quarry, the love-hate with Cogburn, the Southern stoicism. LaBouef comes across now as a pretty complex character, unlike Glen Campbell's portrayal who was a one-dimensional fodder for the Duke to bounce off. Love the bearskin doctor but there's only a few minutes of him. It's still very authentic to Frontiersland, like out of a Cormac McCarthy novel. I only wished the Coens made it more their own film, instead of being mostly literal to the book. 7.5/10.

No but I want to.

Agreed, and i hated having to watch them all twice

lawl can you change your sig to just link the video instead of having the full video up there each time you post?

i cried twice

Thought it was pretty entertaining, especially the Disneyland bit. Something about Banksy talking about riding the rides with a blackedout face and a deep muffled voice is hilarious to me. Terry is absurd but I admire his uh, zest.

Weird, I just watched that movie last night!

You know what they say, great minds.. watch the same movies. I find it kind of crazy it's nominated for an oscar.

I watched Inception the other night, great film. I'd heard alot beforehand about it, that it was confusing or what have you, but I didnt find that was the case too much. The general premise was pretty easy to follow, and as it was happening it was still not a problem either. The only real 'confusion' came towards the very end (anyone who has seen the film will know what I mean), up to the credits sequence.

I thought it was really good. What do you think about this whole theory that the French guy is actually a fictional character?

Bill Withers is an American Hero. His head should be carved into Mt. Rushmore.
I watched this film, Still Bill, twice.

It was really good. Last scene had me on the edge of my seat!

Bought it for under $1... Its so corny and the special FX are crap but I love it.

I'm gonna have to check this out. Bill Withers is the ****. Still Bill is easily in my top 20 albums of all time.

ain't no sunshine if he's gone

This is now one of my favorite movies.

Finally saw it tonight, and I was unbelievably impressed by how good this movie was. To be able to put a movie such as this onto the big screen takes great risk and courage but Danny Boyle certainly pulled it off. I'd definitely recommend it to everyone, and I'd like to say, don't judge the movie too quickly, the unraveling of everything is done to perfection. Truly an inspirational movie.

These were both so unbelievably good, easily 10/10 films for me. Although I must say, the kid that played Alvaro in XXY might be the ugliest person I've ever seen in a movie.

My name is Khan.

probably watching that next week - my fiancee insists to see it though I'm more in favour of World Invasion : Battle of Los Angeles

yes yes yes and more yes

I can't wait to see Battle of Los Angeles.

I believe it. Banksy can undoubtedly be considered overrated or a sell-out, but I have a really strong belief that he completely dictated the whole movie and totally manipulated the whole "street art" industry into becoming sell-outs themselves.

Really powerful and well done documentary, and it actually just won the oscar for best documentary. It honestly makes me sick how these corrupt bank CEOs can get away with the massive amount of bull**** that they spew on a regular basis. And the fact that most of them are still holding high political financial office is just beyond me. As great as documentaries like this are, they always tend to frustrate me, but still I highly recommend it.

I plan on watching this, thanks for reminding me.

I really liked it. Pretty dark wasn't really expecting that, but I really dug the film. Kind of cool to see the main character slowly turn insane by the enviorenment around him, makes for a good character piece.

Just kind of drifted along without much happening. Quite realistic. I enjoyed it.

gratuitous violence at its finest.

I've seen parts of it before but this was the first time i've seen the entire film. It's a brilliantly original concept, it's well shot and looks perfect in simple black and white. I also love the way there tends to be some kind of awkwardness or tension in every conversation.

i prefer the more harsher bleaker Bullet in the Head, also by John Woo but The Killer is alright

i especially love Iggy Pop and Tom Waits' dialogue, the Wu parts are also good

Yeah Iggy and Tom's conversation is the highlight of the film for me. Rza and Gza with Bill Murray is hilarious.

Better than I had thought it would be. Far from original but enjoyable. A small but very, very funny part from Steve Buscemi was more than welcome too.

Great to see Pegg and Frost together again on screen. I laughed quite a lot throughout.

Just got back from finally seeing this. I thought it was really good, but I'm not sure it deserved best picture. Colin Firth was incredible as always, so was Geoffrey Rush. The chemistry between them was great to watch. Also, his final speech to Beethoven's 7th was really powerful.

yep. it was a very solid film. there wasn't anything brilliant about it. if it were up to me, I'd have given best actor to Bardem and best picture to Black Swan.

me too, and Best Original Screenplay to "Inception"

fixed

I agree with you on Bardem though.

Swan Lake (1968)

Got it because of Black Swan fever. It's a Russian production. Pretty good although I disagree with the choice of the guy playing Siegfried, they shoulda used the Court Jester guy, instead, as he dances more supple and agile. Was the guy chosen as Siegfried because of his chiselled features? He still looks gay-ish to me, though and he doesn't really dance that well. The costumes are outrageously daring, the White Swan's pubes are visible, the Black Swan has half-exposed breasts. The performances are fab, the White Swan is tender, soft and supple, the Black Swan aggro, terse and passionate. My main gripe with this is trying to make it into a movie, with split screens, dissolves, special effects, superimposition. And the film production is horrible, some out of focus shots, inconsistent lighting, choppy editing and use of different film stock giving different hues and saturation within one movement. They should have shot it as it appeared on stage.

My ratings - as a movie - 5/10. as a performance - 10/10. highly emotional and sexually invigorating. as Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes to Hollywood once said - "ballet is a just a highly stylised form of sex".

The Party-Peter Sellers...a classic

Agreed. I think Darren Aronofsky is one of the best and he really deserves some recognition.
