I like musicals, particularly the older ones (although there are some awful ones I wish I could forget) but I also liked Moulin Rouge.

The fantasy elements made it work for me.

I mean, I know I'm strange, so that isn't the issue, but am I significantly more strange than others? Perhaps that's a question for another forum

Thor. I enjoyed it. Felt the story was a little fragment/disjointed in parts, but overall it was fun and looked awesome. I don't particularly care about Captain America but I'm looking forward to The Avengers.

Thor - Really good movie, good story, good visuals and pretty good acting as well.

Tetsuo II: Body Hammer.

Didn't really enjoy this one. A much more conventional (though I do use the word lightly) re-hash of the first film, that doesn't work nearly as well for sheer allegory (and general madness).

There is always an exception to a rule, or should that be an interference lol

The Social Network - surprisingly good. I've been let down by many an Oscar nominated/winning film, but not this one.

I thought Dan Aykroyd as the rival assassin was great and the whole "I'm a professional killer." "Yeah, right." thing was pretty amusing.

Finally watched Cropsey, which I thought was balanced, compelling and quite chilling. Also re-visited The Shining. Still brilliant.

The Dilemma
Kevin James 'comedy' that isnt at all funny but still remains a good film! Your best mates wife is cheating on a guy, do you tell him?

Perhaps I wasn't in the right mood while watching it; I was super tired and just found it a bit annoying as opposed to funny or entertaining. Oh well.

Watched Tangled last night...I thought it was very cute. It's been forever since I've seen a real Disney movie with singing.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?

Went old school the other night and indulged myself by watching COOL HAND LUKE for the gazilianth time...classic, my two fav lines being 'shaking the tree boss' and 'What we got here is.. failure to communicate' both lines regulary popping up when in work.

On a side note: talking to a colleage today who's 30 years old and NEVER heard of SPINAL TAP... I was stunned to say the least and persuaded him to download it asap. How someone live 30 years and be ignorant of the Tap I'll never know
