Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
Just saw the Stephen King adaptation The Mist. One of my favorite of his stories, but the movie, while faithful to the text, never really pulled me in. 7.5/10.

Whoops. This is the one I meant.
Hannah and Her Sisters is one of my favorite movies. I love the sister that is trying to stay clean after she kicks her coke habit. She is so sincere and so insecure that you actually want to believe her as perfect Hannah always does. Woody Allen's neurosis always warms my heart. Despite his "attachment" to his adopted daughter- which is utterly disgusting- he is a brilliant writer of movies. He captures the personalities of NYC more accurately than most without turning characters into caricatures. The self-adsorbed artistic personality that can hemorrhage from the skyline is so obvious that it is recognized all over the world. Who are these nutty people?

Take the Money and Run. Early Woody Allen.
All round solid stuff, worth watching.
A Single Man starring Colin Firth (directed by Tom Ford)
Very Good movie. Indie film, so if you're looking for car chases..
Also, just saw Annie Hall again. Classic, best Woody Allen.
Yes it's a great film, I've watched it quite religiously over the last week and a half and I still feel that there are several viewings left because there is so much in there. Similar to Husbands and Wives and Crimes and Misdemeanours (which I've just watched again and got a lot more from it the second time). I love the flow of music in Woody's films and Hannah is particularly good - full of the usual moving jazz sounds and the recurrence of Bach doesn't harm matters either. Great film.
I don't dwell on any of his personal matters; it doesn't interfere with what I get from his work.
Top class. Only just behind Manhattan for me - a film I have banned myself from watching again for another couple of weeks or so because it is becoming an unhealthy obsession, although I'm watching some Woody Allen everyday anyway.
I'm currently reading one of his biographies by John Baxter which came today, recommended.
Well I've just finished watching the films Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, which is really two parts of the same story by Marcel Pagnol, and I just can't recommend them enough. Truly moving. Go buy right now, that's an order!!

You will thank me if you haven't seen it and agree with me if you have...brilliant!
been watching a lot of movies lately but to name a few
X-Men first class it was great the best x-men I have seen I think. One or two things that bothered me but in general great Magneto was the best character in it!
Jane Eyre, I saw the 2011 movie and it was good but felt like a lot was missing and I am not sure about the girl who played Eyre...
Match Point is in my opinion one of the best (recent) Woody Allen films loved it !!
Cassandra's Dream, another Allen it was really good and I loved seeing Colin Farrell as the nervous guy

Personally, I think that the unique and supreme delight lies in the certainty of doing 'evil'–and men and women know from birth that all pleasure lies in evil. - Baudelaire
I loved Jane Eyre, Helga. It probably seemed like a lot was missing because a lot was missing, lol. Jane Eyre is a pretty long book. Of necessity they telescope a lot of the action, it seems to me.
Hollywood Homicide. 7/10 I've never seen it before and I always thought it looked silly, but it was surprisingly funny and endearing.
I Am Number Four. 7/10 Pretty good teen flick.
Tree of Life. 10/10 Terence Malik. I bow down before him.
