The Great Escape (cos ya have to)

Watched Romulus, My Father, one of these bleak Aussie movies that our critics are lambasting in the press at the moment. I really liked it.

I'm glad to hear that Burn After Reading is good; I've been wanting to see it but have hesitated because of some of the comments I've heard about it. I'll have to rent it now.

King of the Moon was hysterical, and wasn't that a very young Uma Thurman playing Venus? Great movie.

Robin Williams didn't want to be associated with it? Makes sense I suppose, it's the only film with Robin Williams in that I haven't wanted to destroy utterly.

And yes, thats a young Uma Thurman. Along side an impressive Oliver Reed.

The little girl (Sarah Polley) later went on to be attacked by trolls and zombies.

I must admit, the Gilliam movies constantly rate amongst my favorites. Don't think there has been one yet that I disliked.

The Fly - Brilliant as always

and Carrie as it followed on the TV, again brilliant.

Highlander II · 2nd January 2009, 09:09 PM

I've skipped through several movies lately, but as I didn't get them for 'watching' so much as 'making screencaps', I'm not sure they really count. Things such as 'Stir of Echoes' (which was rather lame) and "Surviving Christmas" (which was beyond lame)...

sloweye · 2nd January 2009, 10:08 PM

Watched Carry On Screaming this afternoon. One of the best IMO

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) just impossibly bad.

Happy Joe · 3rd January 2009, 03:54 PM

Tropic Thunder; had fun trying to spot the big name actors with bit parts, the movie itself was OK, too. Not great but worth a rental, IMO.

Enjoy!

Watched Babylon A.D. the other night. Didnt know what to expect but Vin Diesel does his usual best. Shame it ended so badly. And I dont mean the story, just that it seemed to be going somewhere then bang, end credits! Rushed job!

You know Gully this is one of those movies I keep meaning to see, I have head good reports about it, I must get around to it.

Watched Last of the Mohicans again.......... Its been awhile so I thought I would watch it again. I love this movie, one of my favs..........................................

Got a copy of Slumdog Millionaire last night so I will watch that very soon, it is supposed to be very good, so I shall report back.

Burn after Reading: Alot of fun. Love the Coen Brothers and this one lives up to the standard. Brad Pitt was great.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: Totally lame and predictable. Avoid it. Maria Bello is no Rachel Weisz.

tangaloomababe · 5th January 2009, 02:03 AM

Damm TK thats one I have also but have not watched yet.... so many people have said its really good (Burn after Reading) I must try tp make some time to watch it.

Your right about The Mummy movie, It was very average and I thoroughly missed Rachel

I just watched the animated version of Geroge Orwells "Animal Farm" I got the special edition quite cheap. It has a fantastic documentary with Tony Robinson, a Stay Tooned special about the making of the film. I like the way Tony Robinson can pitch a lecture like this to appeal to children and adults alike.

The animation was spectacular the art, amazing, the story moves at a good pace and thought I've never read the book, (which I must do!) I'm told it stays very faithful to it. A tad depressing but well cant have everything!

Also watched Cloverfield, an interesting film, not awful but not brilliant, I actually found myself quite interested and sad when the end came, the creature is not badly produced although I'm sure its size chnges from time to time

Not sure how I felt about it, was watchable and the acting wasnt tooo bad. I would say rent ti dont buy it.

I saw Hancock over the weekend. Not quite what I expected, but it was entertaining at least.
