I complete agree with all that. Going to the cinema without knowing anything about the movie is great, having know preconceived ideas about what you should be seening always makes for a better movie.



[color=yellow:4c6c2be2c3]I loved the open/closedness of the movie. It's like, for us the story is over but we know that there is still much more going on.

Also, I liked how once Tom had become violent once it was easier to let that side of his nature out. I would find it hard to picture Tom striking his son before the events of the café. I was also really intrigued at the start of the movie when we weren't sure what his past really was, it's be a horrible situation to be in if it really was a case of mistaken indentity.

I saw Saw a couple of nights ago. One of the best movies I've ever seen. A bit like a low-budget version of Seven, but the lack of funds didn't really get in the way. Go see it if you have the chance!

Heh, freaky. I just watched Seven.

It wasn't as fucked up as I expected it to be. And it finished just in time to see the end of Silence of the Lambs, 1 or 2 or something.

Maybe it didn't have a huge effect because my housemate is the type to predict everything that's going to happen, and I found it pretty predictable anyway.

I also saw The Beach not long ago. Now that was brilliant. It's the first film i've seen Leonardo DiCaprio in, and I thought he was pretty impressive.

Oh, and. I was forced to watch 13 going on 30. >ahem< Less said about that one the better, I believe.

Watched a football hooliganism film the other day with Frodo from LoTR in, a bit of a strange roll for him. I can't remember the name of the film. It was a pretty good film but it did sort of glorify football hooliganism which as I have come accross first hand isn't glorious at all.

I'm also re-watching the 'Band of Brothers' series on DVD, one of the best series I own.

I also took my nephew and nieces to watch Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the were-rabbit at the cinema the other day. Cool film and the 20 minute christmas caper before the film involving the penguins from Madagascar was pure class. :cooler:

I think the football movie mey be called 'Green Street'?

Watched Shallow Hal on Saturday, okay.

recently watched Sin City, suprisingly better than l expected.

Watched "Bewitched" on the plane on the way home the other week. Stars Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell. I expected it to be really cheesy and it was in parts, but overall it was quite amusing and enjoyable.

Rather than a remake of the TV series, its a movie [i:3fe2b73997]about[/i:3fe2b73997] the remaking of the TV series with Ferrell as a sleazy actor who will play Darren, and Kidman - a "real" witch - as Isabel, who is to play Samantha.

Watchable, but most of the humour lies in knowing and liking the original tv show, so if you don't then I suspect you should avoid this one.

Serenity. It was awesome. I had no clue what it was really about, had never seen the tv show, and wasn't at all sure I wanted to see the movie, but it was that or Doom. I loved it. I'm not sure why, but it's the best movie I've seen in ages. Tight script, cool characters, and a bunch of quotable lines that I'm going to have to wait for the dvd so that I can quote accurately, otherwise I'd already have one as my signature. If you haven't seen it (and are interested in that genre, and trust my opinion), go see it. Now.

I saw Wallace & Gromit the other day with Garner. It was very funny. And then I went to see Nanny McPhee with my sister. I was overjoyed when I first saw the trailer for that film, because I recognised it straight away as the [i:74e5c6efae]Nurse Matilda[/i:74e5c6efae] stories I loved when I was a kid. I really enjoyed it. I thought Emma Thompson did a brilliant job with the screenplay (not to mention how well that woman can act), and all the actors were superb, including the children.

Just saw "Jarhead" today - mainly because my brother was an extra in the bootcamp scene. (Turned out he MIGHT be the guy who cracks up when Jake Gylenhaal's character is yelled at by the insane-looking drill sergeant: "Do you love me? Do you want to make out with me?) ...That and because I liked the song in the movie trailer...

Ended up loving it, even though it's pretty much a war-less war movie (or maybe for that exact reason). Thought Peter Sarsgaard's character to be the best part of the film. Cried in the end :p

I saw "Be Cool" yesterday .. John Travolta and Umat Thurman. Pretty good movie, definitely worth a watch. It's got a lot of big names guest-starring .. from Danny Devito to Aerosmith.

I went to see the Brother's Grimm on firday night- including myself and the person I was with, there were two other people in the Cinema!

I think that people must not have realised that it was released yet!

Matt Damon and Heath Ledger both manage to do passable english accents - which in it'self is kind of bizzare as (I think) the real brothers Grimm were German!

Anyway its a good movie with lots of great effects and lots of old fairy tales woven into the plot!

My favourite in this movie is The Rock --> his monologue is one of the all time great comic moments
