Teenagers From Mars
Enjoyable but a bit long for the speed of the movie I thought. Maybe I've just been watching too much Twilight Zone. That Gargon looked an awful lot like your standard lobster...

Really fun film.

As I was watching Push, I could tell the writers were writing themselves into a corner and I wanted to see how they got out of it. I didn't like how the plot played itself out in the end. I don't think they did a good job.

I was in the mood to see a cheesy action movie so I popped in 12 rounds.....John Cena still can't act very well but it was slightly entertaining

Last night I watched Perfume and 28 Days Later. Don't know how I've gone so long without watching the latter as it seems like a film that the majority of people have seen, especially in the UK. I thoroughly enjoyed both, Perfume because i not long ago read the book which it was based on, so it's always interesting to see how they did it. I also enjoyed 28 Days Later, wasn't quite sure what to expect but I was impressed. I thought it would be non-stop zombies (infected?) and relentless action so I was delighted with the opening half an hour of vacant London and a slightly slower pace at times.

Does Perfume stay true to the novel? I've never read Perfume but I've seen the film, so I was a little shocked to see how the movie progressed, without having any idea of what to expect. Somehow I think in text some of the scenes, particularly towards the end, would be alot easier to ingest. :laughing:

The orgy scene right? Can imagine it was rather strange having not read the book!

I'd say they did to a large extent, probably because the author had a say. I heard it took him years and years to be convinced to sell the rights for a film production. At least half of the book (probably more) is devoted solely to his childhood and up until the point where Baldini's shop collapses and he leaves Paris, so I guess they missed out huge chunks of this. The book is unparalleled when it comes to describing how his nose allows him to smell things. It's worth reading just for this, really detailed and puts you in the position of Grenouile. Quite amazing. Other than that and the fact in the book they make Grenouille out to be repulsive to look at, it's quite faithful I'd say.

I've been meaning to get the book for awhile now, so I'll be sure to look into finding a copy. I really enjoyed the film so I'm sure the book even better.. I've yet to see a film outdo a novel.

..and yeah, that's exactly one of the scenes I was referring to. I'm amazed they were even able to pull that off on screen.

It explains a lot of how they managed the orgy scene, and lots of others in the IMDB Trivia Page. It's tradition for me to read this page after I see a movie, usually interesting!
