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?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
