The Third Man. :good:

never liked it :rolleyes:

That's alreet man. Better than pretending you do because it's a 'classic'. I do like it though. Obviously it's a bit dated.

Scott Walker 30 Century Man

 

Like many people the Scott Walker phenomenon passed me by completeley until I heard The Drift a couple of years back which I quite liked. I've not delved any further than that one album though. Coming from that angle, what struck me about this film was the fawning hyperbole hoyed about by people like Damon Albarn and Sting, people with seemingly no critical barometer whatsoever who view Walker as a genius for punching slabs of meat for his beat, or moving bins on a surface for his tune, but deride the likes of Yes and Genesis for their pomp, one talking head going so far as to put their fingers down their throat to display vast disgust at such uninspiring drivell. The fact that Walker's currently fashionable doesn't stop Marc Almond providing the films highlight when he pricks everyone's self congratulatory balloon by voicing his opinion that Tilt was "shit". There's also a marvellous moment when they play Lulu a more recent track and without a word you can see she thinks it's a hideous din. Having obviously not heard any of his stuff since he left the charts in the sixties she looks stunned by it.

 

All credit to Walker though, he comes out of it all as an affable bloke struggling with his own creativity but following his own path with a great sense of humour, quite far from the reclusive nature I'd read about.

Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium - shite!

 

Golden Compass - Awesome effects but the shower of bastards have left it hanging for the next installment more than any other trilogy released since BTTF!

 

I Am Legend - Superb

 

Finding Neverland - Surpisingly good :rolleyes:

 

On The Buses Holiday Special - gets better every time I see it :good:

I am legend

 

 

Fucken shite !

 

Did you watch it at the cinema, just out of curiosity?

 

I went yesterday and was good, but seems they really have tweaked the book to fit in with Will Smith's hollywood persona. Still, a good film. Fairly jumpy too at times :good:

No I didn't but I just thought it was very dull and boring, I thought Omega Man and 28 Days later were better but its always going to be dificult to make a film about a man going mad through loneliness entertaining, also felt the ending was a massive anti-climax.

City of God. Not seen this in ages. Absolutely fantastic.

 

Watched it for the first time today, I can see the appeal, but it didn't do much for me.

Went to see 'Sunshine' last night.

 

My advice, don't bother. Utter, utter shit.

 

2/10

 

Not THAT bad, but canny shite. What I found incredicle was the cavalcade of international crew members that were knocked off one by one to leave only the white crew for the final reel. Was that intentional? Was it meant to be taking the piss out of the B-movie convention? Because it was otherwise very earnest. Otherwise I thought it was acceptable until the unknown crew mwmber arrived and it went drastically down hill in terms of creditability as well as story telling which became as confused as hell.

I dont think it was that deep. Just not a very good movie in my opinion.

Watched Outlaw, and I was disappointed to be honest. The only decent performance in it was from Danny Dyer, and the story line was shite as well.
