I'd recommend Fanny and Alexander as his best - though it does get a little surreal toward the end.Quote:

I watched Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted with my nieces, it was a great fun. And when the movie ended they kept on repeating the words “Trapeze Americano”. It’s amazing how kids easily learn new words. They even tried to sing like Dubois.
I'll give it 7/10
Went to see The Wolverine yesterday, pretty good. A lot of action and pain just like wolvie likes it. I didn't like Jean Gray's role in it, found it kinda pointless. And some very funny scenes about how tough he is and that he is a loner and will bear his curse alone, I always find that funny. I don't think he smoked a lot in this one, he is really the only person who 'can' smoke. I always enjoy Marvel's hidden ending, most of the audience had already left and there were about 7 of us left in our seats waiting patiently and a few who were walking down when it started but about 60% had left.
It's Marvel you know there is a secret ending!
Gangster Squad. Very well fashioned after a 40's/50's thriller. It reminded me a lot of The Asphalt Jungle, stylistically. I liked it.
El Topo. This one is a classic. A fusion of surrealism, mysticism, absurdism and existentialism typically found in Alejandro Jodorowski's films - at least, the good ones. 9, 9.5/10.
Crystal Fairy and the Magical Cactus. 7/10 I really liked this. Be forewarned that it's a bit rambling, and also, it's not really about drugs, although they do figure largely in the plot. Michael Cera is hilarious and awesome, as usual, as is his hair, I might add.
I saw Magic Magic with my cousins last night. There is nothing much to see except the magnificent scenery of Chile. 2/10
The same could be said of Crystal Fairy, hehe, nevertheless I want to see this one, too, Snowqueen. I didn't realize it had been released.Quote:

I thought What's 'is face, the Irish chap, played a rather unsympathetic character whose primary purpose was to fornicate his way through the female cast, who all seemed to be remarkably compliant.
The most interesting part of the film dealt with the Prague Spring of '68, which I remember, and that was gritty, raw and thanks to archive footage neatly spliced in, very authentic. I wish I hadn't stayed up to watch it though. 5/10
Separate Tables (1958)
This black and white rendition of the celebrated play by Terence Rattigan has a tremendous cast including David Niven, Burt Lancaster, Rita Hayworth, Deborah Kerr, Wendy Hiller, Gladys Cooper and Felix Aylmer.
An English seaside hotel has a number of residents, some of whom have the inevitable skeleton in the cupboard and the resultant exposure makes for the dramatic tension between them.
The main problem with the film is that it’s set bound and the entrances and exits betray its stage origin all too obviously but, despite Deborah Kerr’s overplaying the repressed daughter of an overbearing mother, there are some excellent performances from Wendy Hiller, David Niven and Burt Lancaster. Lancaster was in my view one of the most natural actors to come out of Hollywood and turns in a very watchable performance as an American writer trying to come to terms with the failure of his marriage to Rita Hayworth, who turns up at the hotel having tracked him down through his agent.
The main thrust of the film comes from the fact that the resident British army major, played by David Niven, is in reality a confidence trickster who is arrested for molesting women in a cinema.
David Niven and Wendy Hiller won academy awards for their performances.
