Last night I watched Planet Terror produced by Robert Rodriguez, who also had a part in From Dusk Til Dawn and Sin City.
Planet Terror is a Grindhouse production - a tribute to old, low budget, gory movies featuring lots of violence, blood, death, and effects that make it look like you're watching an old movie on old-time reel. Bruce Willis and Rose McGowen were two big-name stars in the movie- I'm sure there were others but I can't recall who they were right now. All I can say is that there was a lot of blood and gore. Rose McGowen plays a stripper who loses a leg, and in the course of the action has it replaced with a machine gun stump that she uses to kill all the flesh eating zombies who are coming to devour her and a a small band of survivors (and she's wearing a leather mini-skirt). The small band of survivors consists of a few women in short shorts and low cut blouses and heels, a Middle-Eastern biochemical engineer, a small-town tough cop, a goofus who makes bbq, and some tattoed, sexy bad-%&$ who drives a tow truck. All the stereotypes, violence, and skin are there, and all that makes for an all-american entertaining Saturday night.
Not my favorite type of move though so I can't give it a 10/10. So it only gets an 8.

Early Woody Allen "What's Up Tiger Lily" -- quirky. wacky and ingenious. If you feel blue it will definitely get you out of the dumps; totally ridiculous.
That is what I hoped for when they made "Unforgiven", but, unfortunately, it didn't become a trend then. I wish there would be that one movie that would spark the interests of producers and moviegoers for westerns.Originally Posted by mkhockenberry
Well, I saw "The History Boys" the other day. I would give it 9/10. I really liked it. I was mainly curious about it because the play was such a big hit in London and New York. So, I was quite satisfied with the film.
Eastern Promises 10/10
Cronenberg's best film tied with Videodrome. There is so much emotionnal impact in this film that it will prove to everybody that Cronenberg is not just about gore and horror. See this, one of the best films of 2007, but don't expect another History of Violence.

I saw Death at a funeral yesterday. It is a great British movie - laugh out loud funny. It is well worth seeing
I just saw American Gangster. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Actually, I did have my doubts: Ridley Scott's direction is always dull. The actors usually pull the movie together. I expected to be blown away by Washington's performance. It had a reserved power, but Scott didn't explore it. Josh Brolin, who caught my attention in Planet Terror, gives the audience something to reacte to. 6/10
Has anybody seen No Country for Old Men? I am dying to see it.

No Country will only be released in February here. Can't wait though. The novel is awesome.
"And the worms, they will climb
The rugged ladder of your spine"
Any Oscar predictions?
I can't wait for No Country for Old Men either, and the Love in the Time of Cholera has me jumping for joy, and hoping that they are true to it. I can't tell you.
Anyways, I just watched the movie Perfume. Wow, I thought it was a fascinating story, and so pleased to learn that it is based on a Novel. Now to just find out who wrote the novel. Can't wait for another great read. 9.5/10

Patrick Süskind. I haven´t read Perfume, but one of his other novels, The Pigeon
