Ken has a eye for visuals and he thinks creatively and with color, almost like a painter. This talent is reflected in many of the films he directed. He also has such a great set designer, whom he uses in all his films. His name eludes me now.
Now you have me totally desiring to re-watch "As You Like it"....maybe tonight. I loved the set design, too - quite a different concept, as well, and unique; I say 'why not in the Orient'? It was quite beautiful I thought. I love films set in Japan or China.
Niamh, I see you are member of our KB social group. Haven't seen you post in there lately though. I think I posted some links to Youtube excerpts from TMF.

The only difference was: it made me laugh out loud on several occasions. It was freaking funny. Don't go into it expecting any great filmography, or any touching scenes, or anything GREAT, but just go in for a laugh. And enjoy looking at Russell Brand's pretty, pretty face. =D
Underworld: Rise of the blah, blah, blah. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Role Models
Oh such drivel we have to pay for ... :sick:
It's Lynch's weirdest film and that says a lot ;)Quote:

So i had a full benefit of what he was trying to do (play with the sound and image and create a memorable atmosphere). Creepy atmosphere. I was scared for no particular reason (seeing that it's definately not a horror film).
Hope you liked it :)
Did anybody else like this movie?
Lynch is amazing at creating tension. I usually laugh at the absurd, but when Lynch does it I can't help but squirm, like when the new neighbor visits Dern. I liked all of Lynch's film except Lost Highway, but there are moments in that film that justified me purchasing it. I agree with you in that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen he other work. What did you think of Lynch's song Ghost of Love?Quote:

Notorious: both the directing and script were mediocre.
I'm boyotting that movie because they completely changed the original true story. You should read the book. Its hillarious...not based in the US and is about a guy who works for the BBC. He has other books, one that i want to read is how he ended up setting up his own cult one time. :DQuote:

I love that movie.
I saw Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood and I reviewed it in my blog. Feel free to read the review and comment: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blog.php?b=7232.
I'd rate it as a 7 out of 10.
Benjamin Button - Good acting, nice filming, nice colours, extremely long, and a very hollywoodised version of the book, blah. 6/10
