Thanx Mark. I will :nod:
2 days in Paris
Written, directed and starring Julie Delpy this is a film about a couple, Marion (french) and Jack (american), spending just two days in Paris at Marion's parents.
Of course, everything happens in those two days and it challenges Marion's and Jack's faith in each other.
It's nice enough, has some good laughs and I guess I liked the theme of it mainly because my parents come from different countries. Althought they're not as psychotic as the couple in the film :D
But I think that the rest of the cast, Marion's family, ex-boyfriends (plenty of those) and just randoms, added a lot of character to this film, more that the main protagonists who sometimes got a little bit repetitive...
7/10
"The silence", Ingmar Bergman 9/10
I watched "Everyone's Hero" last night. I'd give it a 9 out of 10. I thought it was a cute film.
A Passage to India -- A very mysterious story, that has an open ending, the outcome of the story can have several interpretations. I am still trying to connect all the loose ends from the movie. I will perhaps read the book to find out more about the mysterious nature of the story.
9/10
Has anyone else seen this movie? It is set at the time of British rule. A movie by MGM made in 1984, based on the novel of the same name by E. M. Forster.
Yes, I've seen A Passage to India a few times, and read the book. It's an excellent movie, well deserving of the 9/10 rating.Quote:

Great ! So what do you think of the echo that Adela and Mrs Moore hear? Why did Godbole, that Brahmin, fold his hands on the station, when Mrs Moore was sent back to England? What actually happened in the cave that made Adela hysterical and press charges against Dr. Aziz? Why was the telegram of Mrs Moore's death sent to Fielding and not her son (the thing that Godbole pointed out)? And what eventually happened to Adela?Quote:

I haven't seen this one. If you are saying so, I am sure it will be an excellent movie, I will definitely try to get it's dvd.Quote:

Just finished watching -- Train to Pakistan (another one based on a novel by Khushwant Singh). I have this feeling that the novel will be better than this adaptation. The sequence of events in the movie did not seem related.
5/10 (for the movie atleast, can't say the same about the novel)
Room with a view the film completley ruined the book for me. Maybe because I was so young when I originally read the book that I missed alot of what was going on but in the film I thought the guy whats his name came across as rather insane and not a little bit scary.
3:10 to Yuma -- tough, gritty Western with Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. You'll get your money's worth.
Currently crying to Brokeback mountain. WHYYYYYYYYYYYY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!!!!
"Much Ado About Nothing", my fourth time seeing it. I'd give it a 9/10. (This is the 1993 version directed by Kenneth Branagh.)
I went to see Mr. Bean's Holiday because I heard that it would be funny. I think one needs to be an established fan of this Bean character, else some of the 'amusement' can actually become annoying. Anyhow, I had never seen anything with Mr. Bean in it, so I will rate the movie as a 5/10 rating. There was lots of action, to be sure, and I did laugh a great deal, but I don't really care for a snivvling (spell) buggy-eyed little elf of a man making a fool of himself. Sorry so sharp but that is how the movie struck me.
I just bought Becoming Jane last night. and saw it this morning.
I think the movie is quite good, except for the fact that I always had in mind that Anne Hathaway (Jane Austen) isn't British by American, which made it hard for me to really get invovled in the movie. She was really good though. But I loved the acting of James McAvoy (Thomas Lefroy), who acted as Austen's love intesrest in the movie.
The movie is a bit far from the real story though. The movie presents the love story between Austen and Lefroy to be very deep and complicated, while the real love story between the two was somewhat 'boyish' as Lefroy called it later on.
In general, the movie is worth watching, more as a beautiful love story, very well acted, rather than an autobiographical movie about Jane Austen.
"Castle in the sky", Hayao Miyazaki. Nice. 7/10
The Thing - John Carpenter
I've seen it before quite a while ago but forgot most of and was quite horrified at the opening scene. Suspenseful and nostalgic, I had a tape recorder like the one in the movie.
8/10
The pursuit of happyness I give it a 7.5/10. Quite a touching story.
Oh! I loved The Pursuit of Happyness! :D It is a touching story indeed!
Bottle Rocket, the directorial debut of Wes Anderson and the debut of the Wilson brothers. As with all Wes Anderson movies, it's offbeat, wierd and wonderful.
Best horror film ever. It's 20 years old and terrifying as ever.Quote:

Walk the Line - The Story of Johnny Cash and June Carter. I really enjoyed the music, the story was pretty interesting as well.
9/10
Dreamgirls. I liked the music and the general plotline but I don't think I would have missed out on much had I not seen it.
7/10
"Nausica of the valley of winds", Hayao Miyazaki. Beautiful 9/10
Saw Hot fuzz last night I was sooo amazed that actually really enjoyed it.
Bit too gory in parts for me but on the whole fantastic.
8/10
I too liked this movie, saw it a couple of times. Its a very good story, the anguish, helplessness (sp?), the determination is all shown so beautifully.Quote:

If I concentrated on the subtitles (they had both, but I couldn't choose between them on the dvd menu), then I would have no idea who was saying what because it was the same voice and if I listened to the dubbing, I would be so distracted by the ridiculous line reading that I couldn't take the film seriously. It was a laborious effort and I have no doubt it took something away from my enjoyment of the movie.
Stranger Than Fiction
Good idea for a story: the character in the story begins to hear the narrative voice of the story he is in.
The way the author character smoked cigarettes and then spit into a tissue and put the cigarette out in her wet tissue was NASTY. Is that not the nastiest thing? Then again, have you ever gotten off the interstate and looked at the side of the road only to see millions of cigarettes butts lining the side of the road? :sick: I guess the tissue thing is better for that purpose, but it's such a nasty way to put to your cigarette out.

"Dead man", Jim Jarmusch 9/10. Excellent and funny. But more than that. Conveying interesting messages about what happened to indian populations in America ;)
You've got the mail 5/10.
I think it's Anderson's best.Quote:

"Double 07" And I'm not quite sure if that's how you spell it.
JAMES BOND ROCKS!!! But I don't like Pierce Brosman much.
I think I'll give it 7/10
Sherrybaby which was ok, nothing really earth shattering but it had a few moving scenes. The other movie I watched was After The Wedding, a movie brought to my attention by LTFR in the movie scenes thread and I absolutely loved that one. I think I'm going to need to find a few more Danish movies with Mads Mikkelsen because I really enjoyed that one.
The Black Cauldron:thumbs_up
"Hairspray" (2007)
I'd give it a 9.5/10. The movie is so cool. I was brought back in the 'welcome to the 60's!' it was hiliarious! Full of famous stars like John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, and some singers like Queen Latifa, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelly and so much more!
I was truly amazed in the acting of John Travolta 'cuz he was so good in the role of Edna Turnblad! *laughs hard* He acted like a true woman and a true mother! He is such a great actor. He can handle his roles magnificently!
Hiroshima mon amour.9/10
i loved the movie
Has anyone seen 3:10 to Yuma?
Last movie I saw was Must Love Dogs. Its a corny romance/comedy, but I still like it. 7/10
I'm going tonight to see Good Luck Chuck...hopefully it will be good...my friends want to see it but I want to see Shoot 'em Up.:)
Mr.Bean's Holiday. It was just Hilarious 8/10, he ate a whole shellfish with shell and everything!
The Nightmare Before Christmas
4/5.
Lady in the Water.
3/10 Just didn't have the kick that Signs and The Village had.
