Saw Monster house yesterday, it was good fun. If I get drowned in cement, I have made my husband swear to burn the house down immediately :cooler:

We also saw Into the blue, for lack of anything better, and it was pretty sucky... The obvious only good part of the film is getting to see Jessica Alba in a swimsuit with her legs apart, the underwater pictures were nice to see, and there were a few good special effects, but over all a pretty crappy film, nothing that special...

I remember reading that book a while back. I did not know there was a movie version. Do you know if it will be relesed in the states.

Apparently it's due to be released 6th October so you'll probably start seeing trailers sometime soon.

I saw Superman Returns a while ago and I'm looking forward to seeing Clerks 2 sometime. Superman Returns was fantastic. Its a shame X-men 3:The last stand wasn't as good.

Saw 2 movies yesterday...

Lady in the water was good, a kind of fairy-tale thing, with the usual large M.Night Syalamanaananananan cameo in the middle of it, but he acts ok, so it's not disturbing... Yeah, it was neat.

The wind that shakes the barley... Well... let's just say that I can understand why it won at Cannes. :roll: Gruelling, harsh, heavy Ken Loach. If you like his films, you'll love this one, if you don't, then don't bother to go. Personally, I don't. I'ts like a big slab of despair, with extra despair sauce (hold the mustard) and a side-serving of despair, with a doggy bag in case you want to take some home... Ok, being English probably didn't help, just for once, I would have liked to be French... but it only lasted 2 hours

I saw Severance the on Thursday (well actualy i saw it twice, once with friends then an hour later with my dad :roll: ), I loved that film! I didn't know much about it other than its a british comedy, I must have missed the bit that said horror.

It was actually quite a good slasher but with the addition of some good old british humor it was a brilliant film. It was very well directed with some nasty greusomness (Spelling? and is that a real word?), the part with the bear trap reminded me of Saw.

I saw an advert for Jackass 2, i can't wait :badgrin:

We went to see Crank today.

It was funny, Jason Statham was really good. I'm not a mad fan of his but he worked his arse off to make this funny, even calling one guy (who was later hung and then used as a dead human shield) a Plum.

The sex scene was hilarious, and the ending was very clever.

Not to give too much away, Statham is on borrowed time because of a poison that means he has to keep his adrenaline running or he will die. The ways he does this are unbelievable and the help he gets is brilliant.

A must see.

EDITED TO ADD

We saw Clerks 2 last week and OH MY GOD is all that i can say. I thought it would be the usual Jay and Silent Bob fun flick, but even they surpassed themselves this time. The story is great (a little slushy in places but you can't win em all) and Jay and Silent Bob in pigtails dancing outside MOOBY'S was the funniest thing i have seen so far in a movie....... another must see.

Ok. We saw Snakes on a Plane. It was... amazing. There was this plane... and... it had all these snakes on it. Wow. Seriously... we had great fun. I get what Rinso meant about watching it while drunk... Samuel L. motherfucking Jackson was motherfucking awesome Anyway, a film not to be taken seriously... I mean, if you're stupid enough to expect a good horror movie with decent acting and suspense, you're gonna be dissapointed, if you work out from the title or the trailer that it's not going to be like that, then just sit back and relax, you'll laugh, jump, barf, laugh some more, and just have a great time

Oh, and don't go and see it if you're even mildly scared of snakes

Edited because of a moherfucking typo...

13 hours on the plane... watched Da Vinci Code and was rather disappointed, give me an Indiana Jones film any day, those were the best puzzle-solver action style films ever.

Poseiden(sp?) really shouldnt of been remade, it lacked any of the appeal of the original and Kurt Russel shouldnt ever be allowed to have lines. That guy was great in The Thing and Escape from New York but mainly due to the cheese factor

Nacho Libre, fun and light hearted but never really laugh out loud. Good way to kill time.

X-Men 3, in spite of myself I actually quite liked it. A few cop outs by the director but made up for by a lot of unpredicted main character fatalities. Fraser actor Kelsey Grammar(sp?) as a big blue hairball was the highlight for me

I saw Jacki Brown yesterday. It was good, but not quite as good as some of Terantino's other movies (i. e. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill).

We saw A Scanner Darkly yesterday, it kind of completed a pure day of weirdness... It was... well, strange... like Las Vegas Parano, or Trainspotting, it left me with the feeling that I should be getting more out of it, but some things I just don't understand, especially about drug use (and after yesterday morning, I can safely say I never want to understand them...) but that part set apart, the story line was good, if a little hard to follow in parts, but I guess that was all meant to be. The graphics were... original, sometimes a little hard to watch, but still, rather well done.

Saw Fly Boys on Saturday. Very good film. A great film if you are interested int WWI fighter planes and seeing some dogfights with Sopwith Camels, Focker Triplanes, and the French Planes (can't remember their names). The acting was good, to scenes were lovely, the romance was interesting. It is supposed to be taken from a true story.


I couldn't decide on just one quote... more to come.

"Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was that they escaped teething." - Mark Twain

I just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, what was Kubrick not smoking when he made that ending? Still really cool, though.
