Took precious moments of my life and watched Poseidon yesterday! Be warned!!! This movie has absolutely no redeeming feature! I would say there was no plot, but if I did, where would the plot holes go? Acting was lame, special FX not very special. Unless you enjoy watching screaming, yelling people wade through water and wreckage for an hour, I can't say this movie offers anything.

I saw enough of that after Hurricane Katrina hit, so I guess I'll take a pass. I have yet to hear anything good about this movie--hard to believe that the cheesy '70s film is superior!
Viewed the second and last installment of the miniseries, Napoléon, on History channel with Christian Clavier.
Great cast including John Malkovitch and Isabella Rossellini as Josephine, not to mention our own Toby Stephens as Tsar Alexander I. This viewer really enjoyed the series, Clavier held my attention with an irresistible intenstity, as only a Bonaparte should. The battles could have been longer but with a lower budget it was still very well done. 5 stars.
Watched Layer Cake for the first time, just over an hour ago. Quite a good film, probably won't end up with my favourite films but going to give it another go before I decide that. Makes me look forward to November even more though and quite good twists...including an, er, interesting ending! I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it.....

Man...to be young, in Paris, and hanging out with Eva Green... ;% although, for the sake of my own fantasy, we could lose the twin brother )
It reminded me, furtively, of my own time on the continent; of being young, and far away from home. B-) Bertolucci is an artiste. Some might call it 'soft-core porn,' but to me---like "Last Tango In Paris," this one uses physical intimacy as a brush, with which to paint a most distinctive picture.

Very powerful and effective film. The theater was completely silent upon the film's end. Some people believe that this film is too soon, but I think it didn't come soon enough. It serves as a necessary reminder to my fellow Americans who sadly seem to have forgotten the horrific event.
Highly recommend!
"My acting range? Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised..."
Wow an amasing Sci-Fi with top notch performances.It twists and turns and turns and twists.One of Spielbergs best .
The story follows John Anderton(Tom Cruise) chief of police and after losing his son is deeply deppresed still.In the year 2054 machines are built to identify murderers before they kill.When it predicts Anderton will kill he goes on the run.And it becomes strange. Will he kill or not?
Like Loeffelholz, I saw The Dreamers--of course, only to study Eva Green's acting abilities to determine how she'll play Vesper in CR. None of that graphic sex stuff interests a high-minded intellectual like me! :007)
Anyway, I've never been a big Bertolucci fan, mainly because his politics seem to get in the way of his filmmaking. Here, the message is pretty in-your-face: Gee, kids, if you hadn't spent the '60s drinking, toking, effing, and rioting, we might have had that great Marxist revolution after all! Sigh. Still, it's a pretty good film--very evocative of the nouvelle vague movement in French film and sexy without being exploitative.
As for Eva Green--though I'd seen her in Kingdom of Heaven her acting didn't make much of an impression on me. Here, though, she shows herself to be very talented: she's a good mimic and handles accents well, and it takes some ability to be stark-raving-naked (really, about all we DON'T see of Ms. Green are her tonsils and her X-rays) on screen and be a compelling CHARACTER as opposed to being an animated centerfold. Also, there's been a lot of talk on the CR forum that Eva Green isn't attractive enough--or that she looks too sinister--to be Vesper. Guys, if you can watch this movie and not come out of this movie thinking Eva Green oozes sexiness from every pore, then you are either the gayest man on earth or you've been pursuing a career guarding harems.

Just finished watching this movie. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. When put up against the 1973 version it fails to capture some of the childhood innocence I remember. The songs in the newer version seem to be a little more intense than the oompa loompa doopity doo of the '73 version. I also notice they dive into Willys father issues, something else the '73 version never touched. There's a few other things the newer version never touched either like the lickable wallpaper and the human like coat and hat hooks (suprised Tim Burton didn't add that, he could of had fun with it).
I don't remember the book to much but do remember the part in the book when the children are leaving. We read in the book about how the children look as they are leaving. I'm glad Tim Burton added that scene.
In all, both movies have there unique parts to them. I prefer the '73 version, but enjoy the shiny look in the new version. It's up to you to decide which one to watch. If it's a more grown up crowd, watch the new version. If you have kids younger than 14 watching, it might be best to stick to the '73 version.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
Saw Dreamers awhile back and didn't care for it, somewhere on this thread I posted my thoughts. As for Green she did nothing for me in this movie. She looks like a hippie chick which a look I do not care for. So I guess I am gay. Will have to break the news to my wife and three kids.

X-Men: The Last Stand
I have just returned from an advanced screening, run through the Bone Marrow Donor Institute here in Melbourne, Australia.
Wow!
Although it has a different feel to it compared to the first 2 films (chalk that up to the new director, Brett Ratner), this new installment is just as good!
I won't spoil the movie for you, but if you liked the first 2 films, or the comics, or if your a fan of Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, et al, then I emplore you to go and see this film!

Thanks for the heads up Asio. I had my reservations about this one but its gotten a couple of good reviews already. Your positive feelings have sealed the deal for me and I hope to be check it out next weekend.
Not bad at all. I had read the book beforehand, and the film is fairly faithful. Jean Reno was the standout actor (wouldn't it have been great to see him in CR as Mathis or Le Chiffre?), and I certainly don't think the flim deserved the critical panning it suffered.
Oh, and the trailers were interesting, too... 8-)
Great stuff, enjoyed it a lot more watching it just a few days after Vol 1, they really complement each other. It's a lot darker and nastier though, with less cartoon violence (literally, if you're talking about Manga).
Some of the crashing, ominous orchestration is evocative of John Barry's score in DAF, especially as both leads get buried alive.
I watched this on Sunday night, having already seen it in the cinema in January of last year. I liked it fairly well then, and viewing it again, was another fairly pleasant experience....not the most pleasant film and it seems to be people either love it or hate it.
The Da Vinci Code
Saw this last night. Unforunately, I missed the trailers because my friend and i, who i went to see it with, had to get a bite to eat before. Anyway, was pleased with the film though, as I didn't feel it was as bad as some of the critics had made out, and it was decent enough!
I saw 2 films recently:
Slither- a fun horror/comedy that will never be a classic, but does what it sets out to do, which is to entertain.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly- I've seen it before but never on the big screen. One word; brilliant! (I've always loved it but seeing it at the cinemas was really special, plus I saw it with my mother who quite enjoyed it.)

And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman

SPOILERS!!!!FOR DA VINCI CODE
Yeah, I liked it too. Such a great cast! I actually thought McKellan and Bettany were the standouts, but Reno was solid also. I couldn't really decide if I liked Hanks as Langdon or not, I guess he was pretty good but not great. As for Reno, he was good, I've always been a fan of his, and like you said I agree he could have been a great LeChiffre. He has such a great badguy voice! They didn't seem to try to make it seem like he was the Teacher, like they did in the book. At least I don't remember anything about that, I could be forgetting something. That part of the book was kind of lame anyway, because you knew it wasn't going to end up being him. I also thought they missed some of the stuff between Teabing and Langdon, like why he pulls the gun on them suddenly.
Anyway, it was pretty faithful to the book, I thought, except for the end, and the couple of things I noted above, and also some of Langdon's viewpoints. ) I kind of thought that the end was Ron Howard's way of kind of "giving the finger" to the church. Anyone Else?
My only complaint was that since the story moves so fast, I felt like I didn't really have time to enjoy all of the great and beautiful settings throughout the film. The exception to this would be the Louvre, which was and felt amazing.
Wow an amasing Sci-Fi with top notch performances.It twists and turns and turns and twists.One of Spielbergs best .
The story follows John Anderton(Tom Cruise) chief of police and after losing his son is deeply deppresed still.In the year 2054 machines are built to identify murderers before they kill.When it predicts Anderton will kill he goes on the run.And it becomes strange. Will he kill or not?
A superb Sci-Fi/Mystery/Thriller/Action.
Yeah, that was pretty good. While I was watching it though, HUGE Arnold Schwarzenegger fan that I am, I couldn't help but think that Minority Report should have been an Arnold film instead of Cruise, who I really don't like in action films outside of Top Gun. The story just seemed like a perfect Arnold sci/fi plot ala Totall Recall.
Imagine the plot/premise being voiced-over in a generic trailer: In the future you can be arrested for crimes before you commit them. Then, what do you do when the system you created turns against you and tries to destroy you? Cue the action montage starring a REAL action hero, AHHNOLD!
Silly complaint, I know, but I just thought it was too cool of a plot to have sissy-boy Tom Cruise in it.

Cruise is okay not my favorite actor. I thought Von Sydow and Farrell were perfect. Schwarzenegger ( I'm annoyed about him being Govener for two reasons one he can't be Dr Mannhattan the other Terminator 4 ) good idea perfect idea . Total Recall is great film one of my favorite Arnies.
The forgotten Martin Scorcese film.Griffin Dunne is the dull office worker who endures a nightmarish night and a collection of very strange people as he attempts,mostly in vain,to go home.Anyone who has ever wandered around a town they aren't familiar with looking for a taxi at some unearthly hour will identify with this film.I think Scorcese,in a subtle way,makes the point that people,generally,don't really listen to each other.
Saw X-Men 3: The Last Stand today and I must say, I really, really enjoyed it. I'm not much of an X-Men fan; I haven't read the comics in years and while I know most of the characters, I haven't kept up with all of them. As such, I was able to go into the movie with no real expectations (other than hoping to be entertained).
I found the movie to be the most entertaining of the 3 X films and the action sequences to be by far the most engaging.
Oh, one more thing; if you watch the movie, DO NOT LEAVE DURING THE CREDITS. There's one final VERY IMPORTANT scene after the credits finish, so make sure you stick around.
Funny and original the fact that this does happen to people makes it better and even more original. The performances are just perfect from Grant, Collette, Weisz and the kid who I don't know his name. ****
Hitch
This is great but cliched it is a romantic comedy but there is already millions of them. This is good fun though I would advise both. ***
Just got back from The Da Vinci Code. Nowhere near as bad as some of the critics claimed, but hardly a great movie. The first hour or so is a leaden bore, and things don't perk up until Ian McKellan comes on the scene and adds some much-needed humor and spark. Other faults are the achingly long running time and the fact that half the time when Audrey Tatou (cute as ever) is speaking, I couldn't understand her.
I guess I'd give this about a ** 1/2. I thought the book was Crichtonesque--all action and expository dialogue--and it needed someone like Steven Spielberg to exploit its cinematic potential. I'm afraid Ron Howard just couldn't fit the bill.
Yeah, I liked it too. Such a great cast! I actually thought McKellan and Bettany were the standouts. Anyway, it was pretty faithful to the book, I thought, except for the end.

Well, McKellen is great in anything- he may not always be in good films, but he's always good. Bettany was an effective henchman (he'd have made an excellent Red Grant-type in a Bond!) although his literary counterpart was even scarier.
I'm not going into the ending here! (I remember once reading a review in a newspaper which gave away the ending to a well-known mystery. Shame on you, Daily Mail!)
I definitely agree with you that there's not much time to enjoy the sights, apart from the Louvre. Since it's already a long film, though, and there's a lot of exposition to get through, I suspect Ron Howard felt he had to keep up the pace.
Very enjoyable martial-arts film starring Jet Li.Taut and lean with excellent fight scenes.Paris makes a novel location for an action film and nice to see dear old Burt(Kato)Kwouk onscreen again.
Finally got around to seeing Flightplan, didn't care for it. A preposterous plot and an usually poor performance from Foster, who IMO is over dramatic. Amazing how many times a woman can escape custody during one flight.
It was Sidney Poitier night on PBS. So Heat of the Night and Lilies of The Valley -- two completely different films, both great in their own way, but the later seemingly far more unknown than the former.
Poitier's performance in Lilies won him his only Oscar (in a year of great male lead performances), and it's well deserved. It's a low key subtle performance filled with humor and joy but fleshed out with little slashes and undercurrents of anger, indignation, frustration, hurt, need, pride and aloneness. His work with and against the Mother Superior played by Lilia Skala (who is equally remarkable here) is magnificent and even outdoes his superb work with Rod Steiger (equally superb) in Heat of the Night.

I saw enough of that after Hurricane Katrina hit, so I guess I'll take a pass. I have yet to hear anything good about this movie--hard to believe that the cheesy '70s film is superior!
Great cast including John Malkovitch and Isabella Rossellini as Josephine, not to mention our own Toby Stephens as Tsar Alexander I. This viewer really enjoyed the series, Clavier held my attention with an irresistible intenstity, as only a Bonaparte should. The battles could have been longer but with a lower budget it was still very well done. 5 stars.
