I'm glad more people liked Perfume!! (lots of my friends didn't, won't even try reading the book, their loss!)
I agree with Niamh, the book is better than the film but the first time I saw it I was very impressed they didn't alter almost anything from the book.

Last saw Lucky Number Slevin, was quite good actually. 8/10

Both No Country and Love In the Time open here today. I hope to see them both. Thanks for the heads-up on Perfume. I'm not sure about the movie but I want to read the book.

Beowulf... 10/10. The movie was superb!

License to Wed... 8/10
As always, Robin Williams was really funny. A cute story, but one that I felt was resolved too easily. But cute and inspiring nonetheless.

28 Weeks Later - 5/10

I thought this movie was interesting, but I thought the ending was too predictable and the movie as a whole was nothing special.

Last night on TV I saw (for the second or third time) The Asphalt Jungle by the legendary John Huston.
It is a gritty, stark picture of the life of urban crime and tangentally, the officers of the law who are charged with
preventing/punishing it.
What strikes me the most in watching this in 2007 is how so far ahead of its time the film and the script are, mostly in its depiction of the criminals (both petty and masterminds) as quasi-sympathetic human beings.In the era in which the movie was produced (1950) Hollywood censors insisted on the criminals being shown as villains, and there was no variation on the theme of "Crime does not pay." Crime certainly does not pay in The Asphalt Jungle, but the audience finds itself almost rooting for the poor characters to succeed.

The lead character, Dix, as played by Sterling Hayden, is the strong, silent anti-hero. His girlfriend, "Doll" as played by Jean Hagen is a far cry from her character in Singin in the Rain; a sensitive, unsung actress whose career was cut short too soon. Marilyn Monroe has a bit part in the movie, and her final scene is a portrait in vulnerability. Every actor in that movie gives the performance of his career,notably James Whitmore as the "crippled" accessory.

If this movie is ever aired again or if you can get it on DVD,
I recommend it highly.

Brief Encounter - 8/10

A film of a Noel Coward story from 1945. Should be good, right? I stayed up last night just to watch it (it always seems to be on TV in the middle of the night). I only hear praise for it. Well, big surprise! I was somewhat disappointed. The female lead was so melodramatic (though the man was fine). That always annoys me. They had their "affair" (which happened quite fast - the movie was fairly short). I didn't even notice anything to be all that controversial in their little affair! It was hardly anything to gossip about to the neighbors. It was just another one of those stories where the two main characters are already with someone else, but then fall in love with each other. Naturally, they know that they should be with one another, but ultimately they go their separate ways because it is the "right" thing to do. I've seen it before (this sort of storyline - not this exact story), and I have seen it done MUCH better! Still, though, it was a very good film. Just not great.

BEOWULF 3D in IMAX

I just got back from this movie, it was stellar, a visual feast for the eyes. The best CG movie I've ever seen by far. The graphics themselves were amazingly detailed, but also just the quality of the film making from cinematography, transitions, choreography, it was all great. Too often an "effects-film" forgets about all those things, this film did not. I highly recommend seeing it if you got IMAX near you. I'm sure the regular version is good too, but since I saw the IMAX version I don't know. The IMAX version was awesome though.

Highly recommended.

You're definitely right, Admin! Beowulf is the best! It was a great film, indeed. Although, how I wish to see it in IMAX 3D, I can't because at my place we don't have that, you have to travel for hours through plane just to see a movie in IMAX. But it was great anyways, though I know that if I'm going to see the IMAX version I will be stunned even more. It's really amazing! The effects were so cool that I thought they were all real. I can't believe it. I'm so thankful that I don't care about the 'Uncanny Valley', because if I am, I will never forgive myself. Beowulf is brilliant. That's all I can say.

I finally saw No Country for Old Men.

Wow. This is a powerful entry from the Coen brothers. Javier Bardem does acieve a chilling performance.

There are two scenes that contain about a line or two of awkward dialogue ... for me atleast. I heard the sucking of teeth as the film closed. I thought it was a powerful and suitable ending, but others wanted more of a commercial ending. The ending along with the other elements of the film acheive the subtle beauty of a great short story. Lit Net members should enjoy such techniques. The film achieves suspense that would shake Hitchcock

I give the film 9/10.

The Pursuit of Happiness

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I'm not very fond of Will Smith to tell the truth.

6.5/10
