Raising Arizona (1987) Repeat offender Nicholas Cage and his new bride, police officer Holly Hunter, kidnap one of a set of quintuplets after they find out they can't have kids of their own. Hilarity ensues. Coming from the Coen brothers, it has the usual mix of stylish dialogue and quirky, memorable, characters, as well as appearances by John Goodman and Frances McDormand. Not quite as funny as I had been led to believe, but worth checking out.
The Lovely Bones
Only alright. Glad to have seen it, but can see why it's getting a bit of a critical kicking to be honest. Ham-fisted at times, unbelievably hokey in places, though beautiful in others. Saoirse Ronan is very good it must be said, but Stanley Tucci is excellent IMO, in what must have been a horrible part to play. 6/10.
I agree with your assessment but will go see it again as it is still one of my favourite books and though it wasnt translated properly to the silver screen, it is still a great story.Quote:

a wise choice Roo69 - have you seen any of Shane Meadows other movies (This is England, A Room for Romeo Brass)? Paddy Considine is in quite a lot of them and is excellent as usual. DMS is my favourite though, if i had to pick.
I rented ''Up'' on blu-ray last night and it was bloody fantastic. Wasn't expecting much, just a couple of laughs because it's a Disney-Pixar but it exceeded my expectations.
5/5 for me.
just watched from paris with love
good film, worth going to cinema for
Just back from Avatar....WOW...what a movie!
Felt in a childish mood this weekend so watched Up and Wall E. Really enjoyed Up, laughed and cried my way through it. Wall E on the other hand is over hyped rubbish.
"Passengers"-Luke warm afters of a plane crash-very slow. 4/10
Mulholland Drive. WTF was that about?
Getting confused and aroused simultaneously
then it worked - VERY well. ;)Quote:

mulholland drive is also fantastic, particularly its eerie wtf-ness. i'm making my way through d. lynch's Twin Peaks tv series now too, quite good, particularly season 1. there are entire internet forums devoted to unpacking lynch's more 'difficult' films (e.g. blue velvet, m. drive, lost highway, inland empire) so if you need to know "what happened", you can google them and find answers.
Just about to watch my 5th movie of the day, Breakfast on Pluto (think its my 6th time to see it!) is that a record?
Watched 2 girly chick flicks that I wont bother you with but also watched Gran Torino and Zach and Miri make a porno. Gran Torino was the pick of them, fine moving performance from Eastwood in an entertaining and emotive movie.
Zach and Miri made me realise one thing.....my username on another football forum is highly inappropirate!!!
Seen the lovely bones a few weeks ago,the girlfriend liked it,i didnt think it was all that good.A few people walked out of it.
Going to see Shutter Island at the weekend,im expecting good things.
Triangle
Melissa George, of Home and Away and 30 Days of Night, as a mom who goes away for a little sailing trip. You know all those films where the twist can can be seen from a mile away [m night whatever you call him]. You probably won't have that problem with this.
I can't recommend it enough.
Saw "Big Fan" with Patton Oswalt in it(maybe America's funniest comedian right now, IMO), a pretty good depiction of obsessive fandom, reminded me a bit of the King of Comedy, co-star, character actor Kevin Corrigan also very good in it.
Patton Oswalt on George Lucas;

The Changeling. A true story which makes it even more incredible. Very good movie. 8/10
And Angelina Jolie turns in a good performance for a change, best since Girl Interrupted in my opinion.
