I found it dull, despite all the rave reviews it received
"The world is a fine place and worth fighting for, I agree with the second part"
Ernest Hemingway
Remember I agreed.Remember though I was the first to say The Wind that Shakes the Barley was a travesty!
I agree with overbruv on Sideways. I found it a little cheeky, but not too impertiment.
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
United 93. Frighteningly realistic.

The Lives of Others is absolutely brilliant.
I saw The Painted Veil which was good. Definitely not worth going to great lengths to see, but a decent way to spend two hours nonethless.
Welsh and Proud.
Did you think The Lives of Others might have been even better had it stopped after the big incident ? When you see the paper with the relevant election?Originally posted by Bar the Bull@May 28 2007, 09:05 PM

No, I think the end of the film made it for me. Heartbreakingly ridiculous, I felt.
I can understand what you are saying, but I think the end when he read the files was really moving.

Sounds like a Japanese porn movie.

I will bow to your evidently informed knowledge on that subject an capall .Originally posted by an capall@May 28 2007, 09:33 PM

Watching United 93 this evening. Should be cheerful.
I've already seen it. Villa finished 2nd, Norwich 3rd. Very different times.
United 93 was very good but you only want to see it once. Seems voyeuristic.
I've seen it twice.h34r:
Great film, my brother and sister-in-law hated it though - big row. My relatives are all philistines. Maybe i`ll choose Oceans 13 next.
It was much better than I expected it to be.

Pirates of the Carribean 3-possibly the worst film ever. Absolute codswallop.
Ocean's 13 not well reviewed, and I fell asleep during the long, explanatory sequences in Ocean's 11 the other night. Almost the equivalent of knitting while drinking cocoa, but with that there's the frisson of possibly kebabing yourself on your needles if you dozed off, which would be considerably more stimulating than the film.
Power is good. Control is better. (Lenin)
Gonna pick up Hot Fuzz tomorrow. Loved Shaun.... high hopes this`ll be as good.
