another by Lars von Trier's this time it's Dancer in the Dark, a bit ridiculous but you have to admire Bjork here. 3.0/3.0

Cassandra's Dream: What upsets me more than a bad film is wasted talent on a bad film. The script needed another draft and Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell should have switched roles. There was potential here, but this is nothing new for Woody Allen. Woody has always repeated himself.
The Purple Rose of Cairo: 7/10 A pleasant film.
The Dying Gaul: I enjoyed he first two acts.
Youth without Youth: I watched it again. This is turning out to be one of my favorites, right afte Eyes Wide Shut.
Their filming now. It will be released next year.Originally Posted by LadyWentworth

watched hellboy entertaining movie 7/10
watched Beowulf yesterday, depending on how I look at it either a 4/10 or an 8/10. It's definitely not a serious movie, and at first I thought it was, so I would rate it at a 4/10 for being just horrible, but then I thought that it could just as well be a fun film of over the topness, and after seeing that Neil Gaiman co-wrote the screenplay, it explained a lot of things in the movie.

Across the Universe
I liked it very much; thought it captured the period of the 60's, 70's, which was the time I went to college, so it felt very nostalgic to me. I liked the music very much - of course, I grew up with the Beatles and it was interesting to see how the music evolved through the time portrayed in the film; also the way the director interpretted them. Strawberries Fields was pretty amazing. Being an artist I appreciated that fact the main character was an artist. The film too me back to my days in art school, so I could connect to artist's frustrations, etc. The special effects were impressive, set design 'right on' and the singing was good. I liked guessing who a few of the guest star appearances were; I was sure to read all the credits at the end of the film. My only complaint would be, that for the type film it was, I felt it dragged in some parts and bored me a little; maybe a little over-the-top in long sequences, the overall movie also seemed a bit long as well; but basically, I enjoyed the flow of music and thought it worked; it is somewhat like a long music video, with some plot thrown in; actually I thought there could have been a little less plot and more music; I loved the music!
Sit back and experience a ton of Beatles songs (some, no doubt, you will have forgotten) and a psychedelic/psychogical trip. If you don't care for the Beatles, forego this film. The plot was ok and mostly meant for younger people, but I found the two main characters pleasant enough to look at and some scenes were graphically beautiful. I also very much liked the main character's brother, who went off to war. He has amazing eyes and so much expression. If I had not been so hot (it is hot and humid here tonight and I don't have my AC in the window as yet), I might have enjoyed the film a tad better.
Still - great music, great choreography, creative imagery, great musicians, and good singers, a combo that can't be beat! Very entertaining.

Wasn't particularly impressed with the plot. Or expecting the way it ended. But then I remembered Spielberg had a hand in producing it, so should have seen it coming.
5/10

Iron Man. 9.5/10, instantly.
the last movie i watched was EQUILIBRIUM. actually, i've already watched it a few times, but that was long time ago, so i've just decided to renew my impression on it. the movie is relly great. one of the best i've ever watched (and i watch a new movie almost each day). i'm can't say, that the music was relly great, but the very plot, emotions it provokes....
10/10

10/10
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
We watched Boys From Brazil in media (now we have to write an essay on it, oh joy!!) and well.... It was alright apart from the whole Mengele vs. Liebermann fight scene
Guess I'd give it a 6.5/10
