1408. It wasn't bad. Rather predictable, though.

The 300.
It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. The graphic novel is so much better.
The only actor that stood out was the main guy who played Leonidas. Everyone else just... didn't do anything. Especially the guy who played that Persian dude with all the bling bling.

Stardust.
I loved the book, and I reckon the movie did it justice (for once). Claire Danes was surprisingly good as Yvaine, and Charlie Cox was just plain gorgeous as Tristan. It really was beautiful, and heartwarming, too.

Just seen Planet Terror, the second instalment of the Grindhouse project that Tarrantino and Rodrgeuze [sorry, i have no idea how to spell that name] worked on.
It was fan-fucking-tastic, better by far than Death Proof. If you get the chance then you should see this film. [It'll be even better when the full Grindhouse DVD comes out - both films with the "original" trailers that were created just for this.

it was okay. but I'm a bit disappointed. I feel like the books are a bit ruined, but I'll deal. |
Oh man, your boyfriend made you watch Queen of the Damned? He'd better buy you something nice after that.
I spent a good 3 hours of my day watching Oliver Stone's Nixon.
Too much Nixon for my taste.

Just got through watching this as well and I'm left with the same sentiments.
I had higher hopes for a more melancholy conclusion, as can be found in some of King's other, better works. Should have ended it about ten minutes earlier, without the ultimate resolution. Would have left me, as the viewer, with a more eerie feeling towards the whole thing.
(sorry, have to be vague so as not to give any spoilers away)

You know... on another note with 1408, does anyone remember seeing Stephen King in that one? He must no longer be making cameos in the movies that get made from his books.

No, i never saw in that one. But i didn't see him in Green Mile either, so maybe has decided to concentrate and writing.

City of Lost Children. It's a movie with kids but not for kids. It's from France and it's an "aduly fantasy", as they say. A fairytale. I loved it. I'm interested to see more like it. Tonight I should be watching Children of Men. We'll see how that goes. I'm on a futuristic and/or sci fi binge, at the moment.

Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten.
Inspiring, and overall pretty damn good. And I think I caught a glimpse of Siouxsie Sioux in footage of an old Sex Pistols performance.

I last watched Resident Evil 3, Extinction.
And it was good, at least I find it better than most movies
holliwood makes these days.

THX 1138. Great futuristic movie with lots of themes like sexual repression and rebellion. Plus I got to watch Robert Duvall have a hard-on. Now that's hot.

This weekend I saw 'Stranger than fiction' - damn hilarious! And also 'The red violin', and 'Finding Neverland'.

I haven't been to the cinemas for ages. But I was watching dvds with my mate and watched "raise your voice". Needless to say I was chain smoking right to the end...

"The mark of the vampire" it's a bit cheesy, but at least it gave me a good laugh!

I believe it was "[something] and Cinnamon" (Can't quite recall the title) It was an Italian film about a girl who meets her aunt's ex while on vacation with the aunt. She wants him to take her virginity, and the aunt doesn't know it is her ex. I never did finish it but it was OK.

A Scanner Darkly. It's really good. I'm still not sure where everything begins and ends but I think that was the effect. Or maybe i'm just too slow tonight0_0.
