I saw Gran Torino at the cinema on a whim and thought it was fantastic and heartwarming. I particularly liked the theme of persistence against all odds; e.g. Thao's family plying Walt with food even though he didn't want it, the priest trying to convince Walt to go to confession, Walt shaping Thao etc.

I've been meaning to watch this since I loved This is England.

The last film I saw was the Shining which, needless to say, is an awesome classic of the genre. No surprise I love it since Nicholson is my fav actor.

Might rewatch Being John Malkovich tonight.

The Machinist. I think I'm the only person who thinks Christian Bale looked really sexy in that movie.

I woke up from my cat jumping on my chest, and I apparently fell asleep with the tv on.

Now, I don't remember the name, but it just happened to be on "Skinemax" so I'm sure you can guess the genre. But being groggy from just being woken up, I actually watched the last half hour or so trying to figure out the plot.

That just shows how much of a life I have....but before that, it was Gran Torino. Not as good as I had hoped. But still decent.

I've ALMOST watched that movie about 50 times, but something always told me it wouldn't be worth my time. Thanks for the confirmation!

It even looked awful, best thing about it is Scarlett.

Why did you bother watching it? Expecting the worst hoping for a plesant surprise?

woody allen is usually pretty solid, that's probably the worst of his i've seen

I thought it was pretty solid, but it was the movie that sort of shattered the glass house with Scarlett Johansson for me. First time I realized what a mediocre actress she was.

Oh and I just finished watching Funny people. I thought it was very good actually, pretty funny, very well written even if it is a bit on the long side (can't really fault it for that, I didn't think anything should have been taken out, it's just kind of a long time to be sitting in one place). The whole Apatow team is excellent, really, I don't know why I'm so apprehensive about his films, I liked every single one of them. One of these days I'm gonna have to give Freaks and geeks another chance...
