I also loved The Diving Bell and Butterfly! So creative.
We watched a very wacky film last night, a digital animation movie, called Terkel I Knibe - absolutely hilarious! It has some very dark humor, occasionally very blunt, twisted, and never contains a dull moment. I would call it where Pixar meets South Park. I think I spent the entirety of the film laughing myself to tears.
Rating: 10/10.
In Bruges. What can i say. Bloody Brilliant. 10/10 That brings the total amount of films i like Colin Farrell in to two. :p
Ah, I just saw that a few months ago - excellent choice, Niamh! :nod: I have encountered few plots that original, that suspenseful, simultaneous to dark humor within the past decade. Agreed 10/10.Quote:

The quote that had me in stitches was

I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.
You really should see it.Quote:

Ivanhoe ~ adaptation starring Anthony Andrews and Olivia Hussey
I am currently at intermission :lol:
Wow, I have been looking for this film for years. It just became available on DVD; doesn't everything, if you wait long enough? It's nostalgically taking me back to when I first viewed it on TV, many moons ago. I love it so far. Olivia Hussy is so lovely and she has her own unique rare kind of beauty. Anthony Andrews is a hunk, what more can I say? Interesting to see, such a young Sam Neil, he plays the villian. What a great cast and a very good production.
Let the right one in
At the end of the film I felt...confused. I know some films are directed in a way to be open to interpretation by the viewer, but this one had too many points that left too many questions.
Overall it was good. A bit slow in some parts and I have a feeling the english dubbing was very bad - that's why I prefer subtitles, at least you know that most of what the actors say is actually translated.
I'm probably going to look for the book as well, it's bound to give some background story to it :)
8/10

A few nights ago, we watched Adam Ębler (or Adam's Apples ;)), a Danish film with a very thought-provoking plot, involving everything from neo-Nazi skinheads to mentally-unsound Christian ministers, and compulsive thieves and drunks to trigger-happy Middle-Easterners. Weird, eh? Yeah, it gets even stranger, and manages to add a lot of dark humor in it, too, but ends up with a somewhat touching and affectionate ending - a surprise no viewer would have predicted, judging by the remains of the film.
Rating: 9,5/10
Pride and Glory
I had a nice evening watching it, but it did not grab me. Somehow the personages did not come alive to me at all - I could not really understand why they acted as they did. Though there was explaining all around. Maybe that was the whole problem. It all fitted too well - and the ending was meant to be big and shocking and I just thought it was inevitable and still not necessary.
6/10
Santa Sangre
Jodorowsky's best film. Full of mystical imagery but with a better plot and greater directorial mastery than El Topo or The Holy Mountain.
