Dial M is great! I wish I owned that one. I would like to own "Vertigo", too. I have them in my wishlist on Amazon and will have to gradually buy them.Quote:

Sweeny Tood-9.5 out Creepy!
Hollywood Idols Quiz
Got 9/10 (didn't know who Clara Bow was).
Madagascar 2 10/10 because it was by far the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I can't even express how funny it was.
It was better than the first one??? Cause the first one was pretty funny too... ;)Quote:

islandclimber, is Don Cheadle the guy in "Hotel Rwanda"? If so I think his acting is superb! That movies sounds interesting; I must see if my library has it yet.
I started to re-watch Hitchcock's "Notorious" last night; strange that I now noticed so much more - little details and how the scenes were shot. The performances in this film are so nuanced and subtle and I just love this sort of thing. The Nazi's are quite frightening looking. Hitchcock always did find just the right creepy faced actor/actresses for the roles. When Alysia goes to Sebastian's house for a formal dinner, each of these gentlemen come up to welcome her and kiss her hand. It sounds innocent enough but there is just something so sinister in each expression and each face. It really does creep one out....such a subtle thing and yet it works. What a genius the director was. I will watch the second half tonight. Someone called me and I had to stop the film, and then it was too late to resume last night.
WAYY better. I just didn't see it coming haha:DQuote:

I'd give it 7/10. The story was quite good, but and i know this sounds strange, but there was just way too much action. I mean how many cars can you smash to bits, even as an MI6 agent. I know the expression doesn't exist but I felt a bit "entertained to death". Judi Dench though is awlway worth seeing.
Persepolis - 8/10
I went to see Quantum of Solaca last night. I didn't see the first Bond that Craig played and I had this thought that he must be not as a good as previous Bonds. But after last night, I think he's okey enough to be a Bond. Movie is ok, less surprise, I might mistaken it as another action movie if I didn't know what the title was. 7/10
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - 9/10
Awesome movie!
Been rewatching the films I own this week:
Notorious ~ Hitchcock - even better second time around; saw things I had missed. Great film 10/10.
Ryan's Daughter ~ David Lean - Love this film; only second viewing, but the film is superb. Lean was a great film-maker. They don't make films like this anymore. The setting and cinamatography are spectacular (the Irish coastline has such a vista) and the acting is quite good. The various characters are amusing and deeply sad at times. Great Irish themed film! Would highly recommend. 10/10
