Just finished 'Jeff, who lives at home' and I simply loved it. very very good and funny. I really like Jason Segel and Ed Helms was very cool in a role so different from his 'Office' character

Oh dear I am finding myself watching Hannah and Her Sisters yet again (8/9th viewing?) this really is one of my favourite Woody Allen's, brilliant stuff. It's such a musical piece as well with some great jazz (as ever) and other songs + Bach. Not a perfect film but a solid 8.75 out of 10 I would give it! I think it would make a good stage adaptation as well, I could see it as that anyway. Michael Caine is a bit stiff in it but he is quite funny for it.

Watched Star yesterday night. it is a Russian made account of a patrol behind German lines in WW2. i didn't like it much and turned off after half an hour. I could see where it was going - clumsy I would call it - and a bit dated. 4/10
Watched "In Bruges"10/10 great movie, lots of everything.

Just watched 50/50 and I really liked it. funny and not too serious.
Caught it last year by accident - and it was very good. One of the best modern films I''ve seen for a while.Quote:

I told my husband about the movie and he was quite surprised that I (a very senior viewer) enjoyed it so much!!!

Big trouble in Little China. 10/10 as usual
Harry Black and the Tiger (1958).
Stewart Granger plays Harry Black, a big game hunter called in by an Indian provincial governor to hunt down a man-eating tiger that is terrorising villagers.
Black lost a leg during WWII as a result of one of his men's cowardice and it's a tricky situation when the man turns up as the manager of a plantation in the region. To make matters worse, Black and the man's wife had a love affair in Scotland before the husband was released from a German POW camp.
Despite the eternal triangle part of the film, the scenes involving the tiger and it's instinctive realization that Black means to kill it make for highly watchable film making. I don't know how they got the tiger act as it did but it's uncanny how felines seem to sense when their prey is vulnerable and the danger that they face from people trying to kill them.
7/10
I want to see this-and also maybe "In Bruges," which I've heard is good.Quote:

Tonight I watched "Incendiary" with Michelle Williams and Ewan MacGregor. 10/10 I had never heard of it before, and Netflix recommended it, based on things I've watched. I've never even watched anything they've "recommended" but this was good. I love Michelle Williams; I think she is one of the best of the younger actresses out there. And Ewan MacGregor is also very good. I had never paid much attention to him before, but I saw "Salmon Fishing in the Yeman" last week, and while it was a better than average rom-com, nothing really original, something about his understated performance caught my eye. I appreciate that he is understated on screen as well as in how he lives his life. He undertakes a variety of roles, and he's good in all of them.
Yeman: 8/10
Over the last couple of days I have been watching Rocky I, II and III. I just fancied it, good fun. I love this scene in Rocky III, totally class:

' The Birds' By Alfred Hitchcock 10/10 obvious
I watched Wall E; it was a waste of time. 3/10
Other movie that I’ve seen is Crazy Hearts. It was a brilliant performance by Jeff Bridges. I didn’t know he is so into music. 8/10
