Happy Face 29 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Slow burning epic from the director of Chopper. If I hadn't watched it within 24 hours of watching There Will Be Blood (twice) I'm sure I'd be salivating all over it. Funny Games The original 1998 version. Canny little piss take of how a horror/thriller works. Little to get excited about though when the writer/director is looking down his nose so much at the genre he's working in.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) There Will Be Blood. Very very impressed, although I thought it lost itself a bit towards the end if I'm being honest. Day-Lewis has been gaining all the applauds and rightly so, absolute fantastic piece of acting all the way through out the film, delivering in only a way he can. Great to see the torments of his character all of the way through the film. Beautifully shot as well might I add. A special mention as well to Paul Dano as well who I thought was absolutely fantastic during his appearances. Had me gripped all the way through, I'd definitely recommend. Really? I think it's one of the all time great endings. Line after line of dialogue in those last few scenes are going to be up there with the likes of "Here's Johnny!" and "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." especially the last line.

ewerk 31209 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Crash - Can't remember if I liked this film first time round, seemed like the sort of thing I wouldn't like but it was on last night and I thought it was excellent this time round.

ewerk 31209 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The racialist one, though I imagine the car sex one may be worth ten minute's viewing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one, based on the Ballard book is ok too like. I liked the one you're on about though. It was a bit heavy-handed at times like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Run Fatboy Run. Meh, 6/10. Utterly forgettable. I like David Schwimmer. I always found the episodes of Friends he directed quality. Thought he would do a tad better. Edited March 10, 2008 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 There Will Be Blood - Very disapointing tbh. Seemed to be a lot about nothing, I kept waiting for more tension building between Day Lewis and Paul Dano (who I thought was excellent) but not much seemed to happen. I'm not convinced with Daniel Day Lewis either, he seems to overact in the same way Pacino does at his worst. I will admit to it being a fairly poor copy though so I think I will try and give it another chance when it comes out on dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Goodfellas. For some reason i'd never seen this film, very good. There Will Be Blood was mint, incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Michael Clayton Not too shabby. Taut for the most part, but you can see the traditional ending come from a mile off. Tilda Swinton getting best supporting actress is a disgrace like. She was canny, but not a patch on Cate Blanchette in I'm Not There. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
