I recently saw "Finding Neverland". I thought it was excellent! A great film you can watch with the whole family--although children under the age of 8 may get bored.

It was part of a festival held in these days in my city, it's a festival of love movies but (thankfully?) love wasn't really the main point of this one. I'm absolutely not a big movie-goer but I regret not having bought a ticket for the whole festival (well of course I can go anyway but that would have been cheaper) cos there are a lot of interesting stuff... What I find interesting is that they are movies I wouldnt have the chance to see otherwise, cos they're not blockbuster stuff... and there aren't many from the USA, which is what we end up seeing most.
And they are in original language, how lovely!!! the festival provides headphones with (quite awful) simultaneous translation, but most movies are subtitled in English so I'm fine! The one I saw last night was in Spanish so it was a wonderful double linguistic exercise! We also tried to stay for the next one but it was a bit boring and harder to understand (no subtitles), it was meant to be for the section of the festival dedicated to perverted love and SM... but it didnt keep the promise, at least in the first 20 minutes...just gangsters and confusion, so we left.
There is also a section dedicated to Iranian movies and I hope to see one or two...and the Korean one on Thursday is mine! :)
www.schermidamore.it incase someone wants to have a look, but i dont think the site has english translation...
edit: yes, it does!
Wow, so yesterday all in all I watched 2 movies and a half...that makes up for the averagely 350 days a year when I dont watch any movie! :D
There's loads I want to see, but I never get round to it.
Watched "Amityville Horror" yesterday!! HORRIBLE film, I refuse to watch it again! I couldn't sleep at all last night!
Glad you liked it. I haven't seen it, so I can't comment on it, though.Quote:

I found it definitely worth seeing, though I would not call it Tarantino's finest work.
My rating: 9.5/10.
"Patriot" - second time on Tv. anyway i missed again some parts. so-so, not bad.
"In the Mood for Love". It was confusing at the beginning (especially as we didn't have very accurate subtitles and it was in French) but the whole story was great and a bit different than usual dramas. It reminded me of "Lost In Translation". And the music fit very well although the actors are Japanese, they speak French and the song is in Spanish! 8/10 in short :D
I recently watched the movie Bad Education (La mala educacion). it was really good :)
I give it 9/10
Has any one else seen this film?
Yes, I saw this one a few months ago in the theatres. I made a rating on this thread about it somewhere, and believe I rated it easily 10/10, always loving Gael Garcia Bernal's acting, among others' in the film. Congratulations on seeing it; a few parts can seem quite shocking and very unpredictable, which made gold its twisted plot.Quote:

I had known very little of Jean-Michel Basquiat in the past, but this film very well outlined his exceedingly intriguing life, art, and the art collaborated with Andy Warhol. The best word to describe the film: brilliant.
My rating: 9/10.
I watched the movie Downfall today. It was exceptionally good!!!!! The acting was superb. I easily give it 9/10

I tried to search Crisaor's post about the House of Flying Dagger after I watch it this morning on DVD, but somehow I didnt manage to. I was expecting something more adventures, intstead the love theme is the main idea of the movie. And I'm kinda tired seeing Zhang Ziyi in this movie, after her last 2 appearances in Croutching Tiger and Hero...and why she always got the part as the girl who got/almost got rape ;) ..??
But I like the movie...Chinese cultures and dresses always fascinate me..
I just rewatched "Blade: Trinity". It's not good.. Personally I'd rather watch the first two forever before ever having to watch this one again. It's got all new characters, poor acting at times, too much reliance on humor when it's pretty dark, and just overall wasn't exactly entertaining. It passes the time and it's hard to turn away from it, but it isn't interesting in the least. It has some okay special effects though..
We watched Hardware (or Mark 13) during our interpretation classes and it was awful. Worse than Terminator. No points.
