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?

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      By malumbu · Posted

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
