I watched Dogma last night for the thousandth time; I own it. It definitely seems one of the more intelligent films by Kevin Smith, and has several elements of dark humor, puns on religion and spirituality (particularly Catholicism and Paganism), featuring an ironic figure as God.
Rating: 8.5/10.
Ok, went to the cinema on sunday after work with my friend and there wasnt much to choose from so went to see kidies fantasy movie The Secret of Moonacre. I love kids movies so i really enjoyed this! was very funny. 8/10
Yesterday before work, i watched Disneys Beauty and the Beast. I havent seen it in years and it is still as great as i remembered it to be. (Little mermaid was a sad disapointment after seeing it for the first time in something like 13 or 15 years.) 9/10
Grand Trino 5/5 I loved it. I could have turned around and gone back into see it.
"The Happening" by M. Night Shyamalan..5/10 maybe less. Predictable, mediocre, not atmospheric.
Coraline. 10/10
I love Neil Gaiman, I loved the book Coraline, I love the movie.
The Master Builder - 1988 adaptation of the Ibsen play, BBC production
Incredible and intense drama. Second viewing and loved it. A few of us be discussing the play soon.
Agreed. As much as I loved the other films by Shyamalan, I thought The Happening a bit of a disappointment.Quote:

I will not spoil how, but almost entirely paralyzed, yet fully capable of thought, he wrote the memoir, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, this film based upon it, of course.
Beautiful, beautiful!
10/10
Twitches. 10/10. Awesome!

The Curios Case of Benjamin Button (David Fincher).
I'm always a fan of Fincher's works yet have not read the book version of this story. So I don't really know how far his imagination went when bringing the story to the screen. But I found the movie enjoyable and quite entertaining.
Yep..his other films are good..i liked the village very much.Quote:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2/5
Eric Roth's screenplay ruins an interesting premise by opting for a sentimental love story and failing to explore any of its major themes. Fincher's skills for directing can't save anything from this mess of a film. Very disappoiting. When Brad Pitt was out sailing I felt like I was watching a Calvin Kline advert.
Friday 13th 3/5
Much better than I expected although it suffers from the same high-voltage problems as other horror movie remakes. Anyway, you're better off seeing this for kicks rather Benjamin Button in hope of watching a good movie.
Mark, I assume you have read the book?
Bride wars 4/5 Although I saw this at the moon light cinemas over looking Sydney Harbour the Opera House so that may have tainted the score a little
Curious case of Benjamin Button - 8/10
What an unusual story.
I don't intend to watch this film. Over the years i've grown a strong dislike towards B Pitt and now i avoid his movies (i like some of his older films like "the snatch", "fight club", "12 apes" though)Quote:
