Still haven't seen XXX. Maybe this week.
Spiderman (again) – entertaining
Big fat liar – light hearted and OK if you don’t want to have to think
Greek Wedding thingmy – Chick flick – a couple of good gags but that’s about it
I watched Black Hawk Down on dvd a couple of days ago. I have been avoiding it for ages because i had got a bit fed up with those Stars and Stripes american gun-ho films like Pearl Harbour and U-571.I have to admit it was a bloody good film.Its about when the yanks tried to capture a Somalian warlord but the mission was compramised and basically they got slaughtered. Loads of stars and great action scenes though very graphic. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
Definately worth a look.
Psi, I've heard about Donnie Darco. I must try and see it before it goes to video.
I saw it too. Loved it. Special effects were fabulous, acting was brilliant, Gilderoy Lockhart was well cast but not nearly as repulsive as in the books - the whole business of him accusing Harry of courting celebrity was omitted - and those spiders were so convincing! My three older children were transfixed. The littlest one (four and a half) found it too long and got wriggly in the last hour or so. When they got home, they covered every piece of scrap paper in the house with drawings of things they'd seen.
Still don't think Hermione LOOKS right. I'd imagined her as a slightly dumpy girl with lots of frizzy uncontrolled mid-brown hair, a bun face and I'm sure she's meant to have big teeth. Making her pretty seems like a betrayal.
Very explicit, at times sickening, but also very thought provoking.
Would definitely recommend it.
Thought the film was great, and both my boys sat transfixed all the way through, which as they are 8&5 and the film didn't end till 23.15 says alot
How the hell are you? Noticed that you were tapping Louise up on the Milano thread for a list of good bars for us.....keep up the good work!
Hello to Mrs LL from the Wolfy's.
top tip from nyc is bowling for columbine .mike moore is a kind of heavier duty social commentator with a bill bryson type sense of humour-used as a sharp weapon.this one's about the ridiculous nature of us gun laws.i've only seen clips on jonathan ross,but looks fully up to the one i saw some time back,roger and me.you heard it here first...
More films: 28 Days Later is ace. And I re-watched the original Japanese version of "The Ring" the other day, as it's widely available on DVD now (Blockbuster, etc). I strongly advise anyone into atmospheric horror to catch the original, tho the remake is OK. Not much gore - in fact none at all really - but the film is definitely scary and will screw you up! Ooh, the feeling of DREAD it provokes... *shiver*
On the list for the next few weeks are the new Bond, Harry P and LOTR2.
REally enjoyed XXX - sort of James Bond for adrenaline junkies and they left the end of the film ready to make XXX2.
HP, James Bond and LOR2 to see shortly.
Anyone want a big poster of Aragorn from LOR? Map of the land on the back. As given free in the Times last Sunday.
Bought the DVD LOTR1 special edition today.
Agree with Psi on the "Ring" series, though I've not seen the American remake (and not sure that I want to...). Superb and very original.
My wife went to see "Ma Femme Est Une Actrice" last night, which is apparently not bad.
Watched "Dog Soldiers" on DVD last week - it's pretty funny, though the "surprise" ending isn't really much of a surprise - good film though.
And I want to see "Rabbit Proof Fence" and "Donnie Darko".
My to see is also Bond, Harry P 2 and LOTR2
LOTR2 is on the cards too.
And I still haven't seen XXX. But not that worried if I miss it.
Oh, and I'm waiting impatiently for "Bowling for Columbine" too.
Can't wait to see Bond. And Harry Potter - but as little cougie will insist we get the DVD as soon as its out anyway, I'm not desparate to see it so much. I'll get to see it about 100 times over in the end.
Loved the thread on Hermiones frizzy hair.
My 5 year old niece was bemoaning her mums 'not quite as neat as usual' hair - Mummy - you look like Hermione !
