Last seen was probably Hostel Part II, last week or two weeks ago. The first I thought wasnt great but still okay since I like gore. And the atmosphere was not bad too. This one was quite pathetic, less gore, less sex, more humour than horror, but the last scene was so bad and funny that it kicked ass!!

3/10.

WTF I never knew unis here have dvds !! Gotta check if utar's got one... highly doubt it.

anyway, City of God - feels a bit like goodfellas in style, but slightly better overall imo.

The Usual Suspects is one of the most overrated movies, EVER! the twist isn't even hard to see coming, and the entire plot is completely reliant upon the twist ending. Plus, very weak characters.

memento is far and away better than usual suspects and sixth sense. the reverse chrono was great, and the ending is so unforeseeable, yet totally realistic. usual suspects and sixth sense were just average movies with a great (according to most ppl anyway) ending.

yeah the acting was great but the movie was too long and repetitive. how many suicides do we need to see?

Fight Club's twist isn't the best but its not the core of the movie. heck it even builds on the twist, the movie doesnt end at the twist. and the movie is so bloody entertaining and cool that the twist just makes an excellent movie even better.

lucky sean penn gets to suck watt's nippies in 21 grams. apparently robin wright-penn just found out about this and wants a divorce.

I haven been watching any movies lately! argh! only shoot em up which was quite fun but utterly forgettable. need to buy dvds... eastern promises, superbad, atonement, 3:10, the kingdom

you watched the screener or cinema?

where di you watch it? read that it will be shown here later this month. what the censorship has done to it is another matter.

and it failed to scare.

jumanji + a little bit of The Shining = 1408

The Abyss was great, revolution for CGI too. too bad my dvd is badly scratched and no loner playable.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

a mouthful of a title to type out, but the movie was excellent. Beautiful cinematography, a beautiful, hypnotic score by nick cave, and some damn fine acting by everyone. Be warned though, the movie is very slow and lasts two and a half hours. The pace is poetically slow, but its the only way way to pan out the plot so that we get to delve into the lives of the characters while setting the eerie, haunting atmosphere.

Brad Pitt and sam rockwell along with the entire cast give thoroughly brilliant performances, but its casey affleck who steals the show as Robert Ford. He looks to be a stellar actor playing weird, insecure characters like this. (I thought he was awful in Gone Baby Gone, he just cant cut an authoritative figure, and his slurred speech........)

the soundtrack is great to fall asleep to. just utterly hypnotic.

9/10

anyway to make my post less OT ()... last movie watched was... American Gangster I think. a fine movie but we've seen it all before. still well done nonetheless. I actually had to go thru 3 separate sessions to finish this movie. busy as hell.

Juno. Slightly disappointing from Reitman, after his fantastic and cleverly-funny-as-hell Thank You For Smoking. I cant remember laughing a single time in Juno, plus I found Ellen Page's character very unlikeable. It's still a light, well-structured movie, but it's no big deal for me. 7/10.

haha, spot on. I didnt really like LMS at first, but repeat viewings have been much, much better. Somehow I doubt this will happen with Juno though, I simply didnt like her character.

what's 'priest' supposed to mean here?

I was listening to the soundtrack even before I watched the movie and it was quite a nice, fun album. Too many listens and it becomes too twee though. it didnt work as well in the movie, the soundtrack was a bit too conspicuous for my liking.

Belle & sebastian - Expectations is awesome!

It looks like Bale is to Nolan what DeNiro was to Scorsese. Maybe not on a comparable level yet, but who knows how good they can be in the future?

Jeff Brigdes rocked hard in Iron Man, pre-suit.

Added on September 23, 2008, 6:00 pmI watched both Street Kings and L.A. Confidential back to back without knowing both were written by the same person. Street Kings was okay, above average flick with an awful performance from Forrest Whitaker. Quite entertaining while it lasts.

L.A. Confidential on the other hand.... I cant believe it's taken me this long to watch one of the best films of the 90s. Gobsmackingly brilliant all the way. It looks great, never slows down, is wonderfully written, and features strong performances all round. Just one of the greats. I didnt think it would be this astonishingly good.
