Watched Appaloosa with Viggo Mortenson and Ed Harris, a pretty decent Western, with good perfomances from Harris, Mortenson and Jeremy Irons, unfortunately Renee Zelwegger shows up as a love interest of Harris, I don't get her appeal, Cold Mountain was probably the only thing I've found her watchable in, she's just annoying.
it's in the netflix queue! seymour hoffman is the best (popular) actor of his generation.Quote:

Juno - Didn't really know what to make of it. Didn't feel a whole lot of empathy for the lead character. It's kinda halfway between a comedy and a drama, without really being either.
Yeah thats a good movie - funny that he actually wins it all back an then proceeds to blow it all away - again!Quote:

Scorpion King - turned it off after 10 mins - rubbish
Swimmin with Sharks - wasnt bad, and the acting was A1, but it has been done better before in Glengarry Glen Ross, and Wallstreet - ie big bad boss etc
Definitely one of the better Ben Stiller movies of that genre. Rip Torn as Patches O'Houlihan is great.Quote:

Funny games....wow...Very,very disturbing. It was one of those movies where I felt like I had held my breath for the whole 90 mins. The performance by the lead bad guy is just astounding. Still giving me a chill.
anyone else seen it?
Highly,highly recommended.
The original version or the American re-make?Quote:

The US version, and from what I've read the US version is an exact replica of the Original. It's the same director for both of them and apparently he was insanely determined to make them identical. Except of course for the actors,who I think are exceptional, especially Michael Pitt and Naomi Watts.
Witness on Channel 4 last night. Excellent show. Still 10/10.
Watched this last night, thought it was very good. For those of you with Sky, it's on Sky Anytime at the moment.
no i haven't, terrific, thanks for the rec. - i haven't even heard of that one actually. he's been amazing in everything i've seen, barring "Twister" :oQuote:

excellent film. dont agree on the mimicking.Quote:
