Encounters at the End of the World is superb and slightly nuts - highly recommended if you liked Grizzly Man.
Star Trek is good fun.
State of Play - solid average thriller that starts off well. Helen Mirren's character annoyed the hell out of me but Crowe was good in his role as a reporter trying to unravel a conspiracy. The original two main roles were to be played by Pitt and Norton but scheduling difficulties meant Crowe and Ben Affleck were drafted in. 3 out of 5.
Check out the Original BBC Mini Series it was based on, it is fantastic.Quote:

I was at both of these with John83. I reckon that's a bit harsh on Let the Right One in. It's a decent film, just has a serious problem with pace (if it was a simple case of being a slow pace that would be fine, it's that the pace didn't suit the story), but it's worth a look.Quote:

Saw Changeling at the weekend, thought it was an outstanding film if not a little bit long.
A few really good performances from Jolie, Malkovich and Donovan thrown in there.
Saw some of [I]Texas chain-saw massacre: The Begining/I] (something) on TV. Great photography, better post-production then the original (obviously) but with the same angle of shots so very watchable. Also, villians are known from almost the start of the film so they are not quiet as scary, adversarial conversation between teens and villains. Alround a good holiday advertisement for Texas.
superb is a bit much? was good tho and glad I went to see it. fav guy was the penguin guy...Quote:

i'd veer more towards superb than good, that poor penguin was an apt symbol i thought. you should both check "Deep Water" if you haven't already seen it.Quote:

a average film but it was substantially better than its predacessor imo
Thought it fairly run of the mill myself, but not the too bad of a filmQuote:

Some great bits, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Bones, Simon Pegg, the in-jokes my missus didn't get.
Some awful bits, The lad playing Kirk was woeful, Leonard Nimoy, Simon Pegg getting ony fifteen seconds screen time.
Saw Synecdoche, New York last night & definitely not a mainstream film & probably could be call it arthouse. While the acting is excellent from Hoffman & Morton (red hair suits her :cool: ) in particular don't think I understood it all. Without giving anything away the first 30 minutes & the rest are almost completely different films. Going to have to watch this again when comes out on DVD.
I remember watching Adaptation & while I got it in the first viewing only on second viewing did I fully get it but that was a mainstream film.
my local cineworld won't be showing Kauffman's masterpiece so I'm not a happy man. Instead she dragged me along to Angels and Demons and it was a bag of *****.
