Possibly. You'll have a hard time convincing me that last sequence was anything but cheese on toast though.

watched it the other night for my Writing for Design Class. a documentary about famed architect Frank Gehry, telling us about the processes he went through in designing many of his most famous and less know works (The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Walt Disney Museum, Maggie's house). you also see how Frank became an architect and several of his influences while in the field. here you see the man behind the design, someone who has both a grand ego and low self esteem, one who is both humble and larger than life.

what also interested me is how Frank got longtime friend Sydney Pollack to make it, even though, as he said in the beginning of the movie "it's not just that i didn't know how to make documentaries; i didn't even know anything about architecture.", so i was intrigued on seeing just how he would approach this task.

i wished that they went a little deeper into his life (where he grew up, a little more in his family life, etc) but overall it was a satisfying watch and got me much more intrigued in the rest of Frank Gehry's work.

I never heard of that movie! seems really good.
As a fan of Gehry's works and Pollack's of course, it's obviously a must.

Lock Stock is one of my all-time favorites, and I enjoyed Lucky Number Sleven too. In fact I should watch that again soon.

And I thought you guys were talking about 40 Days and 40 Nights :laughing: as I had never heard of 30 Days of Night before. Anyway I liked 40 Days and 40 Nights. A lot. Partly because Shannyn Sossamon is so dreamy. :love:

I just watched Jeux d'enfants, aka Love Me If You Dare.

Close enough though eh :D

I'd definitely recommend 30 Days Of Night, as it's certainly one of the best modern horrors I've seen, even if I do think the ending is a bit naff. Just imagine the Dawn Of the Dead remake except with zombies that have superhuman strength and brains and you're there.

40 Days and 40 Nights on the other hand is pretty good, I'll agree with you there. Quite a pleasant surprise of a film as well, as I really wasn't expecting much when I saw it a few years back.

Not seen this film for ages and then all of a sudden, there it was on proper tele.
Watching it with the kids. Brilliant film.

Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
Absolutely hilarious, I laughed my ass off almost the entire time. This really changed my opinion of Jack Black, and Dave Grohl makes a pretty decent devil.

I watched that :D !!
So absurdly funny ! Seems the Tenacious Band is officially a band that's been going on tours, even before the movie was released.
