Lady Vengeance wasn't as sharp as the other two but it looked great. It seemed to be trying too hard to labour the point. Still had me riveted.


I liked Save the Green Planet - demented and funny and just strange.


Thanks BarryMarshall I will check out Spring Summer Autumn Winter ... and Spring - looking for download now.


Brotherhood is the completely over the top melodramatic war film. Massive budget and it looked great but was too much on the family drama I thought.


Of course if we're talking Asian films generally we should have a new thread but I have to mention my fave film ever. Number 1 best movie of all time: Kung Fu Hustle. Genius! Hilarity. Comedic mayhem. Mad Hong Kong lunacy. Slapstick, digital effects, great visual jokes and loads of references to kung fu films of the past. Shots:

Don't resize the images Piers - they're fine.

The Lord of the Rings, I also love Full Metal Jacket and all of the Bond films. (I'm not very girly, am I!?)


Haven't been to the cinema for over three years, as I hate, hate HATE it! Can't sit still for long enough. :'(


On the subject of kids animated films, (which I noticed in another thread) ;-) you can't beat the Lemurs in Magagascar.

Nemo for me in animation.


Only saw the first Bourne film recently, and enjoyed it, so will have to try and see the others...

I often agree with you about films, and Mrs Keef loves this, but for me, it's one of the most over rated films I've ever seen. I just find the characters annoying, and can't sit through it (having tried on many occasions). Maybe one day it'll just click, but usually it just makes me go to sleep.


Couple of my all time faves...


Dangerous Liasons (and thought Cruel Intentions did a good job of modernizing it, and Ryan Phillipe was good in the John Malkovich role), Last of the Mohicans (used to have such a crush on Johdi May), Sunset Blvd, True Romance, Human Traffic, Romeo & Juliet (The modern 90's version, guess it's a love it or hate it thing, but I think it just looked stunning).


Comedy, often stupid, but make me laugh.

Coming to America, Dodgeball, Team America, Some like it hot, Neapolean Dynamite.


I love watching films, and not even ashamed to admit that I sometimes enjoy a bit of "rom com" or "teen movies" (I like 10 things I hate about you"( but it is based on Shakespeare darling) ;-) , and "Never been kissed".

"Romeo & Juliet (The modern 90's version[)]"

I love the Am Dram scene in Hot Fuzz as the production of Romeo & Juliet ends in a hurried rendition of Love Fool, great.


Ooh, Hot Fuzz!!


Here you go, a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9G7MMQM0Y


I thought Pan's Labyrinth was good of recent films, though Bumbelina had to leave for a bit during the implied torture scene.

Re Withnail, we've had this discussion and must agree to disagree.

I with you on this Mockney. Bruce Robinson's script and direction is flawless. There are just so many classic lines in it. Along with A Clockwork Orange it's one of my all-time favourite films and still makes me laugh like a drain whenever I see it. I first saw it at the Haymarket cinema when it came out and had a certain George Melly sitting two rows in front of me with a young chicken either side of him and couldn't help make the comparison to Uncle Monty in the film.

Oh my god - I thought Human Traffic was AWFUL. So wide of the mark and cringemaking in the extreme.


Paris Texas is Ry Cooder


Pan's Labyrinth - brilliant. Needed the fairytale stuff to detract from the hideous violence, he was nasty. The monster with no eyes is one of the best. Anyone seen Hellboy made by same chap?


Withnail, very funny (Camberwell Carrot anyone?)

There'a a whole season of Wim Wenders movies at the BFI Southbank starting in January including the very wonderful Alice in the Cities. Anyone seen that?

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      Someone said: “don’t bother with housework, after the first four years the dirt doesn’t get any worse”. It was either Quentin Crisp or Bob Champion.

      My turn to join in and sing the praises of Niko. We had a leak, which I feared would be a massive issue. Contacted him and arranged a visit quickly. He came and fixed the issue simply and straightforwardly. I really can't recommend him highly enough. Niko wIll be our first call from now on.

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      By Jess2003 · Posted

      You are correct. I do run a solo cleaning company that offers resets and decluttering I've advertised here on ED forum In regards to your feminism comment, nowhere have I mentioned the gender of the reader. Men and women run homes so I'm sorry you were triggered unintentionally.  This post however is about me and in parallel refining my service. I also run my own home with 2 children and alot of the things I've learned as a solo cleaner I apply at home. Every tip trick, product and equipment gets invested back into my own life. I firmly believe in practice what you preach and I aim to ensure my advice and services are personal and lived. It means my clients get holistic support.  This isn't an advert it's me trying to learn more ways to help myself and therefore others.  Thanks for sharing your way of doing it – I like how practical your steps are, especially the rubbish and dishes by type, that makes a lot of sense.   I get where you’re coming from with the 10% everywhere approach. For me, I find doing one room at a time feels less overwhelming because I get that little boost of seeing a space fully finished. I guess it really comes down to what feels easiest and keeps you going – different methods click for different people. Angelina I think that poster took that picture off Google. Hoarding and clutter are serious mental health problems so I'm not going to entertain it.
